Giving Leo Away?

[MsBerryBratty]

Hii guys, this is my dilemma.

 

A friend of mine courted me in a way, therefore giving me a cute stuffie I decided to name Leo. He's a tiger, very tiny and very sweet. The problem is, I had put boundaries with my friend; I realized that due to things out of my control, I wouldn't like him more than platonically. It's been a few months now, I don't know how to feel about Leo. What if I get a Caregiver? Should I give him away?

Aw that’s a cute name!

Since you like Leo so much, I would suggest you keep him for now and if your future CG has a problem with it, you should communicate and discuss why your CG feels that way and decide what would be a reasonable solution?

At the end of the day, you don’t have feelings for that friend of yours and you’re not keeping Leo for romantic reasons. You are keeping Leo because you like him.

You should keep Leo for now but that’s just my personal opinion. Do what makes you happy!

It's a soft toy, not a declaration of love or sexual activity. If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, take it to a charity shop.

It's a toy and it was a gift from a friend. That's all. It's up to you what to do with him, but I personally think because he's yours you should keep him if you like him. Who gave it to you doesn't change the fact that it's your toy. It only has meaning and connection to that person if you allow it to. Since he gave it to you it's been yours, so why would you need to give what's yours away?

 

I have presents from my ex boyfriend's still. They're my things and who gave them to me doesn't change that they're mine. If a new partner had a problem with me keeping them then I still probably wouldn't get rid of them. A partner should trust you and feel secure enough not to get upset over a stuffed animal.

 

But it's your choice in the end.

You will never know how other people feel until the moment comes so I wouldn't worry about what a future caregiver might think for now. If it's to do with your feeling about Leo perhap you could buy him a snazzy new outfit or a hat to change up his look a bit, make him more yours, sorry if that sounds silly

That's not a silly idea at all. I actually think that could be a good idea if OP is feeling unsure about the whole thing. Customise him and make him a new Leo.

Keep him! don't worry. He's yours and nothing should stop you from loving him if you do. Any daddy who would tell you to get rid of any stuffie you have you feel you want to keep aren't worth dating .

I typically don't give much attention to stuffies given to me that remind me of specific people I don't want to be reminded of... however, I can't deny that they aren't fluffy and adorable so I keep them in my collection anyway, I just don't hug them as much as the ones which are especially important to me!
