After a long search and not a small expense, I finally found the perfect pillow that helped me sleep well. But recently, my boyfriend switched the pillowcase and started using it, claiming it was his. He refuses to give it back, saying it’s the most comfortable pillow and it makes him happy. What do you think? Is it okay for him to just take it like that? I certainly don’t think so!
Definitely not okay. You should take your pillow back and maybe sleep somewhere else if he’s going to take your things without asking.
It’s sketchy that he tried to hide it by changing the pillowcase. If he thinks spending $150 on a pillow is ridiculous, then he shouldn’t feel entitled to enjoy its benefits. You paid for it, so it’s yours.
It’s your pillow, and you don’t have to share it if you don’t want to, especially since he didn’t even ask.

Exactly, it’s about respect, and if he had asked, maybe I would have considered sharing.

In Soviet Russia, pillow shares you!
Now I’m curious about this pillow! Can you share a link to where you bought it?

Why doesn’t he just buy another one for himself?
He claims it’s too expensive and ridicules the idea, yet he wants to use mine. It’s infuriating.

He’s happy to benefit from your investment but criticizes you for making it? That’s not fair. He should buy his own if he likes it so much.

You might want to rethink this relationship. It’s not just about the pillow, it’s about respect and boundaries.

Sounds like you should keep the pillow and lose the boyfriend.
He should respect your belongings and get his own pillow if he finds it so comfortable.
Thanks, everyone! I’m going to make sure I stand up for myself and get my pillow back today.
This might be a small issue on the surface, but it’s a big red flag for respect and boundaries in your relationship.
This sounds like an overreaction. Maybe check if you’re overreacting before making a big deal out of it.

It’s not just about the pillow but about him taking things without asking and then refusing to return them.
He should buy his own pillow instead of stealing yours, especially if he’s going to criticize how much you spent on it.
He took your $150 pillow and disguised it as his own? That’s really crossing a line. Tell him to return it or compensate you for it.
Which pillow is it? It sounds like a great pillow if it’s worth $150!
That’s disrespectful and uncaring. You should consider whether this is the kind of person you want to be with.
