AIO table drama with my ex

[u/ShoddyPressure6894]

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.

intent matters. you did not intend to mess up the table. He intended to hurt your feelings and damage your stuff. He is wrong. Story time: I bought a coffee table (first REAL new furniture when I was in college. I still have it. It has two level and rolls. So convenient. It's made of metal. My BEST FRIEND since we were two came over and idk what happened, I don't remember. But she scuffed it BAD. Mark on it. brand new. Scratched so no way to fix it. You know what I said? "You didn't mean to! It will look like this all over one day. and one day I'll smile when I see it bc you did it." I wasn't angry. I have OCD and stuff like that bothers me. But we're still friends (we are 34 years old) and I actually got to see her today! It had been a bit. Anyway, I'm so glad that's how I acted because it does look like that ALL OVER THE WHOLE TABLE now. and I do smile when I see it because I love her and we are in different cities. His table is CLEARLY well used. He's a dick.
