For those with huge collections (100+) what does your partner think about it?

I’ve built a very large Loungefly collection over the years, like several hundred backpacks. I live in an apartment so I keep mine in a storage unit and rotate the ones I bring home.

My boyfriend knows I collect them but I’m afraid of what he’ll think if I tell him (or take him to the unit to show him) how many I’ve actually collected. He’s really frugal with money and I don’t know what he’ll think when he finds out.

I have no debt and I’m financially secure. Collecting them is just a fun hobby for me and I enjoy all my bags. I just feel weird about telling him because I don’t think he’ll understand. He’s not really into fandoms and stuff like that. I think he’ll say it’s a waste of money.

Are your partners supportive of your collecting? Should I tell him I’m a serious collector? We’re thinking about having him move in with me and I feel silly that my Loungefly collection is what’s making me hesitant.
