To think my boyfriend should pay for replacement clothing he ruined when drunk?

When we got back from a night out with friends at the weekend, we were a bit worse for wear/tipsy.

When I got back into my bedroom after brushing my teeth and taking my make up off, DP said he was ‘goofing around’ and tried to put a pair of my knickers on as a joke. He’s quite a bit bigger than me so he’d ripped them completely as they wouldn’t even go over his thighs 😑

It was funny at the time , I then realised I only bought them the week before and they cost £40. I hinted at him buying a new pair, and then outright asked the next day, but he said it was an accident and don’t I have loads of others I can wear. I’ve said that’s not the point.

AIBU for expecting him to pay to replace them?

😲 40 pounds for a pair of knickers.

YBU, and you were both tipsy, but forty quid for a pair of drawers? He can’t possibly have thought they would be that expensive, and at the time and in the moment, I bet you thought it was funny. Chalk it up to experience, and ask him to get you some for your next birthday/ Christmas.
