When you care deeply about someone, you do not dismiss their interests/passions/obsessions. You nurture them, support them and embrace them as part of the person. That does not mean you have to adopt them as your own, but you should react positively to them, unless of course his or her interest would be "acting in a way that makes him or her appear available in a cry for attention, then acting shocked when someone acts on it, and then going home and telling one's other half about in in an effort once again to get attention." That, you should discourage. Just my advice. Take it for what it's worth. If you'd like some follow up reading on today's lesson, you might try "I Love You Ronnie"--Nancy Reagan's publication of Ronald Reagan's love letters to her.

You do seem like a caring nurturer. I just thought that you posted relentlessly about lunchboxes for my own personal amusement, but if you seriously devote the amount of time to lunchboxes that your posts would indicate, my guess is that you will break said boyfriend of any interest in them whatsoever at some time in the near future. Sort of like the way a grandma, after latching onto the idea that little Jimmy LOVES chocolate cake makes them for him incessently until at some point in his thirties Jimmy (who now goes by James) lashes out at sweet little grandma with something to the effect of: "Thanks AGAIN grandma for ANOTHER homemade chocolate cake, but I really feel that it is my duty to inform you that I'm allergic to chocolate and I'm more of a banana cream pie guy now. Please cut the damn chocolate cake thing from 25 years ago out already. And by the way, everyone calls me James now."
As far as I can tell, in the world of collecting random shit, Hummels will be next on bf's list. Don't be surprised when he drops the No More Lunchboxes bomb. Good news is I'm sure you'll be able to offload your inventory on eBay to some other lunchbox freak.
