We often form deep bonds with objects, be it a treasured childhood toy, a family heirloom, or a gift from a loved one. These items can mean as much to us as our relationships with people.

In a surprising twist, this dilemma became intensely personal for one person. Their story sheds light on the complex interplay between our love for objects and for each other.

OP, a 23-year-old woman, has been with her boyfriend, a 24-year-old man, for 8 months. They recently moved in together, and everything has been going great, with the joy that comes with moving in with your partner and waking up to them. Everything has been fine, except for one issue bothering her.

Her boyfriend has a blanket that his dad gave him when he was a child, and he is attached to it, like very attached. When they first started dating, she noticed that her boyfriend always had the blanket with him, but it wasn’t until they moved in together that she realized how extreme his attachment was.

One day, when her boyfriend was at work, she hid the blanket in the back of the closet to see if he would notice it missing before noticing her. Sort of a way to test him and see which of them he cared the most for.

While it’s fair for her to feel left out when her boyfriend does things with a blanket over him, she should try to understand his connection with the blanket. It could bring him a comfort that nothing else can, and that it is not something to be feared or envied.

u/Wlktothebrook thinks OP behaved wrongly by thinking she had a right to hide something that mattered to her boyfriend.

“YTA. Make that huge AH. You hid something that was clearly important to him! Who are you to decide that he should be denied his blanket? You have a lot of growing up to do before being ready for a relationship.”

Comfort Blanket
