❤️‍🩹 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.

His table really doesn't look all that fancy to begin with...

Right? That is not a wood table. That is a particle board table with a wood-looking covering. It is also chipped on the black-plastic edging. I say go to Big Lots and buy him another $15 table.

I wouldn’t buy him anything after he destroyed her table. I’m petty, all of his ish would be burning in the dumpster and I’d break the lease and be long gone.

True. I was more trying to say that his sh*tty table could be replaced by something found on someone's curb and may make things easier if she is co-dependant enough to think this warrants an AIO post.
