Good night

Today, my 26-year-old boyfriend came to my apartment to spend the night for the first time. He brought a "blankie" that he insisted was the only thing that could help him sleep. That "blankie" was his ex-girlfriend's silk nightgown. FML

Get out, now

Today, my boyfriend invited me over for dinner for the first time. The place was full of his ex's stuff, books on the shelves, makeup in the bathroom, clothes in the closet and even shoes on the floor. Not to mention creepy plush toys staring at me. She left him 8 years ago. FML

Today, I woke up to my boyfriend making the bed, at 2 AM. And he wasn't so much making the bed as he was holding a pillow while lost in thought, looking at me. FML

Today, I went to my grandmom's house for an hour or so. When I came home, my boyfriend was on the bed, covered in the sheets and about to cry. Turns out he taped his ballsack to his leg and couldn't get it off because it "hurts too much." I'm 24 and he's 26. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend regularly has his ex stay over. They even share a bed. He doesn't see a problem with this. FML

Today, my boyfriend came round to drop off some underwear, which I'd left at his house. Not all of what he brought was mine. FML

Today, while visiting my grandparents, I used one of their blankets to keep warm. Later, I saw their dog getting busy with said blanket. When my grandparents saw my look of horror, they explained that he has "sexual relations" with the blanket every night. Thanks for telling me, guys. FML

Today, I woke up to a disappointed boyfriend. He told me he spent an hour last night farting on my pillow to see if I would wake up with pink-eye. He's 23 years-old. FML

Today, my boyfriend came over to cheer me up after I'd had a sleepless night. He thought it would be a good time to propose. Unfortunately, it coincided with me yawning. FML

Did he make you wear it? Or did you just tell him to leave?

If you didn't make him leave immediately. You care very little about yourself.

I don't think the problem is that he has a blankie. I'm 23 and I have a blankie but its an actual small blanket. I use it to cover my lower half when I sleep cause I have to have a blanket no matter how hot it is. I think the problem is that it's his ex's nightgown. You should really have a talk with him about it.

So you're saying the real problem is that his blankie is his ex girlfriends nightgown? Are you training to be captain obvious?

Next he will insist he cannot have intercourse without his ex's lingerie..

Maybe think of it as a transitional object? So if we apply psychology, if it gets modified by anyone else other than the person who's fixated on it, it will lose all its significance. :) "Accidentally" wash or ruin it by spilling something on it, or maybe tear it and he'll stop sleeping with it. This technique can also be used with small children once they're mature enough to not need it.

I would venture to say that it IS a transitional object. He could be having difficulty transitioning from his old relationship to his new one thus why he feels he needs it.

#89 if you're having difficulty moving on from a relationship, you shouldn't be entering another relationship. I think OP should get rid of him ASAP, he's not moved on from her and this will just become more and more super awkward.
