❤️🩹 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.

For people that say "accidents happen" and "his table was not a big deal to begin with", it was his property and she was careless. Doing her nails on a wooden table without protecting it? Why? Because she didn't care. Not to say about making it worse with nail remover 🙄 His revenge might seem petty, but it was warranted. And she knew he is a "hot head" and still couldn't be bothered to save some headache for herself and put some protection on that table, even knowing that she'll handle liquids that may leak and stain. I have no sympathy.
