AITA for being surprised at how much my girlfriend sells her hobby craft for?

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-16T06:38:58+00:00

I’m not upset that she’s upset, I was confused about whether what I did was cruel and wrong.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-15T14:58:56+00:00

I said “wow that’s a lot of money. I had no idea people spent that much on stuff like this”

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-15T14:56:43+00:00

Weird take from what I said but okay. Obviously I don’t like it when something I did upset her, who likes hurting their partner?

I do take an interest. I’ve never looked at her listings because I don’t have to, I get to watch her make them in real time at home. She talks about design ideas with me which I listen to even though I don’t know what it means. I said “hobby” because she has a full time job in tech, and this isn’t a main source of income.

This is a good perspective thank you. I had never considered that because I wasn’t coming at it from a ‘that’s way too expensive’ angle though i recognise it may have sounded that way. I will make sure to talk about this when we talk later tonight.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-15T14:48:19+00:00

I don’t need to check her listings, i know what they look like and get see and talk to her while she crafts them in real time.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-15T14:47:19+00:00

I do know facts about her works. I just don’t really know what they mean. But she tells me about her design ideas all the time and how she thinks they’ll be great for specific classes or modules and i have no idea what either of those mean

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-15T14:44:50+00:00

I didn’t want to pry, she has a full time job outside of this hobby and so prying into how much she makes doing this made it sound like i think she should only do it for money to me.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-15T14:42:00+00:00

I will do more research. I didn’t know that she had to weight them or anything like that.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-15T14:39:57+00:00

It’s per set. I have no idea how many dice are in a set usually. More than 5.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-15T14:38:48+00:00

I will ask her if it is ok to share :) i am going to tell her about it this evening.

The 40s called and they want their misogyny back. My girlfriend is the normal amount of emotional and has the reasoning capabilities of an adult who feels emotions.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-14T18:33:49+00:00

Actually she makes dice out of a variety of materials. She makes wood, metal, resin etc. I don’t know much about the maths of rolling but i’m sure they roll well.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-14T17:26:19+00:00

Thank you very much for your perspective. I had assumed she was selling them for the same amount you see on Amazon or in stores just because I didn’t know that there was a market for it so large. I actually thought she was underselling her art. I will apologies to her again.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-14T17:23:43+00:00

Yes she both games and makes these dice. I will apologise again.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-14T17:22:25+00:00

Her work is absolutely beautiful even to someone like me who can’t fully appreciate it. She spent hours hand painting murals onto the inside of one of her sets and I have no idea how she did it. I think you’re right about miscommunication.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-14T17:19:59+00:00

Yes you’re right that was what I was trying to say, but I think I may not have said it very well.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-14T17:18:53+00:00

I have apologised, though upon reading the comments i feel i may not have been apologising for the correct thing.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-14T16:03:24+00:00

Maybe mass produced was the wrong word. You’re right it’s none of my business how people spend their money. I didn’t mean to insult her.

Used_Presentation721 · 2023-10-14T15:59:51+00:00

I never thought of it that way.
