Quoted By:
I'm girl collector. Dated a guy who visited my place before I visited his. Visit his place and notice lots of figures sitting in a row (from a series I know he didn't really like) with their boxes right beside as if they had just been opened. No other figures in his room. He explains that he was scared he wasn't autistic enough for me so he rushed out to buy a bunch of figures and he was embarrassed he couldn't make it look more natural in time.
We dated for 4 years, throughout which he got into figure collecting and would ask me to buy him some for each Christmas/birthday. Two days after he dumped me he sold all the figures I had bought him on eBay. We were still living together and he openly would pack up figures with huge emotional value in front of me as if it was nothing.
After he dumped me I told him I needed a no contact period from him. He broke it repeatedly to ask me to middleman stuff from Yahoo Japan Auctions for him.
