Hi,
My girlfriend loves to cuddle and we used to cuddle every night, but after a while I would get tired and turn around and sleep by myself.
she initially was disappointed by this but then told me that she understands and bought herself a plushie she really likes. It’s a small thing and she sleeps with it everyday! So much so, that she also Carries it in her suitcase when we go on trips.
I told her that I want to cuddle for sometime and she does leave her plushie and cuddle with me, but she leaves in ~10 minutes to go back to her plushie.
From what I can tell, she’s not being petty, she genuinely loves this thing a lot. When she comes back from work, she sits with this tiny thing with a soft smile on her face.
And I feel so weird that I’m feeling jealous of an inanimate object, I make jokes about it, but I don’t think she gets that I’m truly torn up about this.
Do I tell her? How do I stop feeling this way gosh.
