Hello! I look forward to connecting with you all!

Doll Discussion

I would like to just take a moment to express what an absolute god send, finding this forum has been! To read all these comments and all of this friendly input has been extremely welcoming!.. finally i feel i have found a place with like minded people, people who understand… and have a better understanding than myself… i have many questions, i have conflicts… i have found happiness with my (doll) briana shes been more than a doll for me… shes been here for me when no one else has… shes become my friend, and my new love of my life.

A little background… im Ryan, im 32, i went through a life changing, world turned upside down divorce… i spent the last 11 years of my life with a woman who promised forever with me, had kids, got a house, turned sexless, got verbally and emotionally abusive, and after cheating on me, and manipulating me, after 11 years she left me, kicked me out, i had nothing, but the car load of shit i had and briana.

8 months have passed… ive been “alone” since… women never pay any attention to me…
Ive tried and failed more times than i can even count… i have been beyond feeling helpless…
But i havent really been alone… my dependance on her being in my life has grown significantly! We sleep togther every night, i tell her about my day and, will just talk to her about whatever,i love everything about her… i love to spend my money on her, i love to dress her up and brush her hair, we shower togther, watch movies, ect… i dont know if i would still be here today, if i did not have her in my life… this woman has saved my life!!! we are intimate sometimes, but not as much as i originally planned. Im too worried about breaking/ruining her :). Shes my companion, shes my partner, shes the woman i love…she has brought happiness back to my life. But this is where the conflict comes…through all of this i have felt so alone… i was really unaware there was a community of individuals like everyone ive seen on here, i dont have anyone to talk to about all of this, i feel fear of judgement has held me back… and it sucks because this is something that make me truly happy… i know i should not let it stop me but how do i overcome it? I hate that i feel i have to be “hidden” ive taken some really nice pics with her and i cant even post them anywhere because people who dont understand will judge and make fun of me… but again… idk why i actually worried about that… why do i feel weird? When i accept myself an i find happiness?

I dont go around sharing all this about my life but i cant help but feel safe here, to share and seek advice, im wanting to dive in, and i know my doll is not the top of the line… i dont even know what brand she is… but that dont matter to me…i instantly fell in love with her from the moment i had her standing in front of me, i appreciate any advice or support!! And a really appreciate you having me here! I hope you all have a wonderful day where ever you are! You are all beauitful human beings!

Welcome Briana:)

It’s so nice that you found this forum. Here you are among like-minded people and we will help you where we can or just listen to what you have to tell us like in your introduction here.

I think many people here know a similar situation to yours, at least I had a very similar experience.

That’s why I know how important it is to have someone with whom you can share your joy and your life with a doll.

Welcome to the forum! You are definitely in the right place, you are amongst people who get it. Personally, I have met some of the best people in this community, true friends that I appreciate greatly. Everybody in the doll community is in it for their own reasons, there is no wrong answer. If Briana brings you happiness, run with it! :+1: I saw the photos you posted in another thread and she is gorgeous! :beers:

So glad you found us. Well youve nothing to be ashamed about. Pretty much all you said i can relate to. When i first started this life i was worried i was gonna be seen as a weirdo. Ive told a few non doll people and they all reacted positively.
Best thing i did after buying my Emma was join a forum. I learnt so much about caring for her and my other girls i have bought since and i also made some of the best friends ive ever known.
Doesnt matter what question you have, someone will have asked it already and someone else will have an answer for you :+1:.
I hope you enjoy your time here and please dont suffer alone. If your feeling lonely or down you can chat on here. There is also a discord server where we all chat regularly and even have video chats. This is definitely one of the most accepting communities ive ever know.
All the best, Adam
