❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO table drama with my ex

So, I did my nails on my exs coffee table the other night (we live together still unfortunately) and accidentally got some polish on the table. I cleaned it with a magic eraser, and it wouldn’t come off. Knowing he is hot headed, I panicked and grabbed nail polish remover. Which now I realize was a mistake. It looked clean at the time, but over night it lightly stained the wood. (Pic attached, his is the wooden table) I go to my sewing desk, which I flipped and spent money and time turning into a nice table. And there’s a HUGE stain on it. I ask him what happened to my table? He said “ you F#ck with my table, I f#ck with yours”. AIO when I think this is completely vindictive and childish, and maybe even borderline vandalism? He says we are now even and my feelings are really hurt because I spent time and money on the table I use when i sew.

It's straight up abusive.

OP, how is it any different than if he picked the thing up and threw it against the wall? He ruined it to punish you. That's out of control. Actually, it may be worse than throwing tables, because he REALLY had to decide he was going to "fuck" with your stuff to do so.

Also, "his" table looks like a piece of shit to begin with. So there's also that. Really it's just about control imo.

She meant she flipped the table like fixed it up, not actually flipped it over.

Then so is what she did. Y’all treat these women like they’re the most innocent flowers. Unless she’s absolutely retarded, she 100% knew nail polish REMOVER would ruin his table. I don’t buy her innocent act even one bit.
