to be mad at DP for breaking my number plate?

DP and I went to do some shopping in his car earlier today. When we came home he was parallel parking into his space, wasn't being careful and bumped into my car behind quite hard. He got out to come around and help me out (I had piles of stuff on my knee for him to take before I could get out) and he was laughing saying that he'd cracked my numberplate. I thought he was joking but when I got out I saw that it is really cracked and bent. I definitely need a new one, especially cause my MOT is in 2 weeks.

I was really shocked that DP was laughing about damaging my car and he hadn't even apologised, and told him so. This descended into a huge argument with me expressing disbelief that he hadn't said sorry and him calling me a fucking cunt (bit harsh I thought). He said it was an accident, I should get over it and that I'm overreacting. He did say sorry in the end but it was a real shouted "Sorry then!" So I don't think that counts.

So, am I overreacting? Number plates are only about £10 but I'm more mad about him laughing it off and then getting angry at me for it. If I'd reversed into his car I'd be really apologetic and buy him a new number plate.

But how are you going to put up with it in the meantime? I'd rather have a direct cause and effect - he calls you names, you pack your bags and go. If you stay this will just drag on and on.

He sounds a real treat, what with the namecalling and wanting you to put him on the deeds...

He just wasn't concentrating (he was actually slagging off my parking even though I was parked within my lines)

That really sounds like he wanted to teach you a lesson. Or was purposefully not minding your car.

I wouldn't put him on the mortgage and he pitched a fit about how it wasn't fair.
Screams cocklodger.
