. . . to be really annoyed and how do I stop?

DH knocked over a large vase earlier that was both very expensive and a wedding present from a much-loved relative who has since passed away.

It was completely an accident and DH feels bad about it, but I can't let go of how upset and slightly angry with him I am for being so careless.

Maybe I'm annoyed because this is the latest in a long line of things he's accidentally broken or damaged recently, and I'm fed up of it.

Anyway, how do I shake this off? It's crystal so can't be repaired. It feels weird to just bin it but I don't know what else to do. I don't want to be annoyed at DH - it truly was an accident - so I want to do whatever will help me forget about it as quickly as possible! Any suggestions? Sad

Oh - I should say - I'm not particularly precious about things most of the time. We have two young children so I am generally sensible/conservative about the things we have out and accessible. Just a run of bad luck I guess.

this is what i used to call 'brute force and ignorance' with my ex. almost every cup glass and plate used to end up dropped and smashed just through not being careful. once time it was my car windscreen cos he let the wiper spring back and hit it. other expensive items broken cos they were propped up or put somewhere inappropriate 'for the time being'. I now suspect he has undiagnosed ADHD (no shade to any ADHD people here) as a factor, but also it just wasnt' important to him at all.

Since I moved out two years ago i've broken only one glass.
