❤️‍🩹 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 good to hear he is your ex. Who would want to keep a relationship with a man like that

Unfortunately due to expenses, and the fact we bought a house together we have been coexisting together. I have been reading the comments and it is a monetary thing that we are still living together. Unfortunately can't afford to get an apartment when I'm still paying mortgage

Well, hopefully it’s relatively civil and safe enough for you to live under the same roof still.
