Anyone else have a DH/SO that BREAKS EVERYTHING?!?!

[rchl882]

I don't know if it's just my DH or what... but he breaks almost everything he touches! It makes me FURIOUS! I try to control my anger about it because he doesn't do it on purpose, but it seems like you have to be ridiculously careless to screw something up every two weeks! What really gets to me is we are not rich, and we really have to work very hard to have decent things, so we don't have the money to replace stuff all the time!! Anyone else have this problem??? What should I do!?!?! He won't listen to me and doesn't seem to think it's his problem. He feels bad when he breaks things, but he seems to think that this happens to everyone, and won't listen when i try to tell him it doesn't. So you get an idea of how bad it is, here's a list of the things (that I can remember) that he's broken in the last year & 1/2.... (Keep in mind NONE of these were done out of anger!!! Just normal daily life for him!!)

1. Every towel bar we have ever owned, with the exception of one (he yanks the towels off and tears the screws out of the wall... not out of anger, just getting his damn towel down to dry himself with!!!!)

2. Our laptop... he "tapped" the screen with a remote control to point something out to me... it broke the lamps inside the screen.

3. Our new widescreen monitor that we had to buy after he broke the laptop... we were moving and he was taking it apart. We had to install it to the base when we got it. I told him it wasn't supposed to come back apart, I begged him not to pull on it, he did anyways and broke off a piece of plastic on the base. It's on the inside, so thank God you can't see it and it still works.

4. He somehow cracked our toilet seat in half. He was peeing & I heard the seat drop really hard, but he wouldn't tell me exactly how it happened.

5. He turned the knob on our A/C in our car too hard, it went past where it was supposed to and something broke on the inside, so now the knob won't go back on properly, and won't work. You have to turn a part on the inside with needle nose pliers.

6. He knocked my video camera off the counter and part of the plastic frame buckles out now. He always pulls a bunch of stuff off of the counter without looking what is beside it or under it, and everything falls.

These are just the big things I can remember. It happens so frequently, when he moves things around or tries to fix things sometimes I get sick with worry, because I don't want to have to pay to replace more stuff!!!
