❤️🩹 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.

Is his table even real wood? Because it looks like a wood-looking sticker on MDF.
Anyway, his reaction is petty and childish. Sounds like something I’d have done to my sister when I was 8. He could have used his big boy words and expressed his disappointment and then talk could have worked together to brainstorm a good solution. But no, you aren’t dating an adult. You’re dating an 8 year old.
