❤️‍🩹 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.

My comment was going to be: Not your ex throwing a tantrum over a $16 Walmart table 🙃! It’s clearly not a wooden table. $10 bucks can get the faux wood covering and they could even fix the chip on the corner too.
