Playing Second Fiddle to a Stuffed Animal

The story I am about to tell is hopefully something that few men have had to actually cope with, but I have deemed it necessary to recount the tale of those unsung few that have. The transgression of which I speak is decent, hard working guys being cock-blocked by a significant other's stuffed animal.A personal friend of mine recently spent the day with his girl for her birthday and all things considered played an exceptional role as the boyfriend. Being towed from one store to the next and enduring relentless hours of shoe shopping is no easy task for any guy, and my friend managed to do so with nary an utterance or complaint stating that it was "her day" and wanted to make it special. All of this I can respect, but it is the climax of our story where things take a somewhat unsettling turn.
On their return trip to their apartment the girlfriend spotted a "claw" game with a large stuffed penguin sitting atop the pile of yoga DVDs and otherwise forgettable garbage. Penguins being the girlfriend's favorite, she exclaimed that she "just had to have it", and because it was her birthday the boyfriend figured what the hell, and about 5 bucks in quarters later returned to the apartment victorious with penguin in tow.
However, despite his best efforts to cash in his dividends of brownie points that he had accumulated that day, the girlfriend had instead decided to roll over in bed, and intimately spooned a stuffed bird that makes it's nest from snow and poop. Before my friend could protest, the girl had fallen fast asleep, now with an unrelenting death grip on her new arctic companion.
What is perhaps more insulting, is that my friend's girl was now wordlessly rejecting his advances in her sleep. Any attempt to hug, spoon or cuddle his girlfriend was met with a pronounced moan of the most negative fashion. Needless to say, my friend drifted off to sleep unfulfilled, comforted only by his newfound hatred for flightless arctic birds.
Have you ever been passed up for a stuffed animal?

Hahahah...
The only time I have ever passed up snuggling with my boyfriend to snuggle with my charmander pillow was when I was angry at him.
lmao cute story.
but strange girl.
Tell him to gain some weight.
Fat people are fluffy.
begs the question, how many have been passed up for a dildo/vibrator?!
I once cuddled my stuffed turtle instead of my boyfriend, he grabbed the turtle and threw it off the bed, saying that I was all his, not the turtles.
awww poor guy.
But you know.. stuffed animals are really cuddly. :p
who needs people when you got honest, innocent, uncheating stuffed animals to sleep with you each night? or are they...?
Sounds like he had more selfish motives than just giving her a good birthday.
If my boyfriend would do something like that for me, I'd more than cuddle with him. I don't like to bring boys shopping because I know it can bug them. I love cuddling every night no matter how tired I am. If I really want to cuddle with my Jeb The Giraffe I'll cuddle into the boy, and then cuddle my Jeb as well. Cuddling is the best way to get to sleep.
My husband once took the stuffed animal I was cuddling with and cuddled with it himself. )=
I HATE shoe shopping..so its not just guys to.
penguins are evil..I tell you xD anyhow, what a cute little story there. Hahaha. I sometimes cuddle with my stuffed animals..because i normally don't cuddle with my bf..but it's okay..
She must've been real tired to not want sex on her birthday. And, to be fair, since it was technically still "her day," then he pretty much should've expected to (not) give it to her if that's what she wanted.
@LivingInThisMoment@xanga - You are amazing! pokemon ftw! I personally sleep with a stuffed pikachu :)
That is really weird... Um I love cuddles I can live happily without sex (for some time at least) but damn it! Give me cuddles!!!!!
But typically stuffed animals are there for when an s.o is lacking or m.i.a. On a good night at school I sleep with about (depending on how early in the school year) 3-5 stuffed animals, some behind me some in front some at my feet...but trust me when its between guy or Pika...pika gets the boot.
I've been passed up for video games and beer......
I guess that's the man version of stuffed animals lol
stuffed animals are supposed to be a substitute for a significant other... NOT the other way around. i would love to end my birthday with spooning and/or sex with my man... no day of shopping can tire me out too much for that. the stuffed animal can wait until i'm lonely, and i have a reason to be.
not gonna lie, that totally sounds like something I would do.
if you give me a cuddly stuffed animal, I am going to snuggle with it and if I fall asleep, I do not want to be woken up.
