Ok, i know this is quite trivial compared to some things i have read but here goes...

Last night me and DP had an arguement (which actually started because he was trying to tell me that the long side of a triangle is equal in length to the two short sides) but we ended up having an arguement and me finding some cigarettes in his desk, which i snapped(not all of them though)because i am pregnant and he told me he'd stop smoking, he went completely mad and started snapping things in reach, rulers cd's etc. and then picked up a bottle of my ckin2u (only a very small sample bottle(if it had been my big bottle i wouldnt have any problems resolving this)) and through it out of the first story window, because he did this i picked up my phone and it followed my perfume, i just want to say that i didnt do it maliciously, i simply done it because i thought 'well if hes throwing my stuff out of the window then ill throw his stuff out of the window'i didn't think about the worth of the phone neither did i think it would smash into as many pieces as it did (i nievely thought it would be sitting on the pavement outside in the same amout of pieces that left the window?!?!?!)

Basically what i want to know is should i go and by him a new phone today? i think i should but after i tried to apologise for throwing his phone out of the window he tried to drag me out of the house telling me to get out and causing a scene in front of his family(we dont live together but are moving in together at the beginning of next month)also, even though i think i should buy him a new phone part of me doesnt want to because i know that if it had been the other way around he prob wouldnt replace mine, i probably wouldnt have even got an apology?

If i didnt buy him a new phone i would just be cutting of my nose to spite my face because i am the only person who he text on it to meet up etc and it would mean that we would need to pre-arrange to meet etc and if i had a problem i couldnt get hold of him!

Sorry for it being so long

What would you mumsnetters do in my position?

we are both 21 in august, and the phone landed in his garden on the pavement and it was pissing down with rain, so there was no chance of it hitting anybody!

i do really love him and i know he loves me, i think its just the pressure he feels because of the pregnancy because his mum has made it clear she thinks i should be a sahm so hes worried about finantially supporting us when baby comes

(btw baby was unplanned but will be very much loved)

anyway he has told me he has bought himself a phone off ebay, it cost him 30something pounds so ill give him the money for it (even though it wouldnt matter whos account it comes from it will still be an expense that wasnt needed)

i cant believe i done it (am ashamed)

I'll have to try that next time - I used to throw my own phone against the wall if I had a paddy with my dp, not his. I'm a little worried that a fairly petty argument over a triangle shape could have ended up with virtual fisticuffs though but you know your own relationship. May I suggest you keep all valuables out of sight next time you argue?
