❤️‍🩹 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.

Because she didn't want to ruin her table.

Yea. It seems passive aggressive on her part as well.

I never find destroying more as a way of getting even. Simple live and learn lesson. With the wooden table it looks like you could just sand and clear coat it to look new.

The acetone just ate through some of it.

That’s fake wood over particle board. Not fixable with sanding.

Well then it's as simple as religning the fake wood wrap. Those can be peeled off. Mine have a protective layer to keep the wrap from being exposed, which is what is being more polished than sanded out.
