A few months ago, DP burnt several holes (with a coal from his shisha pipe) in my expensive rug in our front room, which I'd both saved up for and spent all of my birthday money on a few years back. Alongside ruining the rug, he'd also burnt a huge patch of our carpet - we rent, so the whole carpet will need replacing should we ever move, or else we risk losing our deposit. He's still not attempted to patch the carpet like he said he would, though he did replace the rug (with a different, cheaper one), which is fair enough.
Anyway, this morning I've woken up and come in to the front room after going to bed before DP, and I've noticed that yet again, he's burnt another huge hole in the new rug, more little holes surrounding the big one, a burn stain on our sofa and charcoal ash all over the arm of the sofa and our side table.
I rang him upon discovering it, obviously fuming, and was basically told I was overreacting and that it's 'just a rug'.
I take pride in our home and it looks nice thanks to me and only me. I put a large chunk of my 'luxury money' in to making each room look as good as I can on what little budget I have, so to me, it isn't 'just a rug'. It's another thing of mine that I really liked that he's burnt, yet again.
It'll need replacing as there's literally nothing that can be done to patch it up or disguise the giant, melted burn mark. I'm so annoyed that this has happened again, but DP is being so blasé and acting as though he should be totally left off Scott free because it was another 'accident'. While it may have been an accident, I can imagine he'd be feeling as angry as I do right now had I burnt holes in his stuff.... twice. I'd say around a collective amount of £250-£300 worth of stuff has now been ruined thanks to his carelessness with his shisha pipe, but apparently I'm in the wrong for being mad about this!?
Would this annoy you? Or should I just accept that my stuff keeps getting burnt and destroyed?
