Did he overreact of not?

[Anonymous]

I broke a glass for a second time in a year (as long as we're dating) and he told me that I'm clumbsy and that I should have a plastic cup because I break so many glasses while he never does. And that my quirks (being an arachnophobe and apparently being clumbsy as well) can be too much.

Buying a new glass was not the solution for anyone wandering as I said that I will buy his parents (who did not react at all) a new same one. As was cleaning up which I wanted to but he did it instead.

I told him that people break glasses, it's a part of life. And if that I should have a plastic cup that maybe his parents should also have that as they previously broke 2 of his favourite glasses. We talked and later he said that thats not what he meant.

I felt like he overreacted with such a small thing and wrongfully threated me as a child. Did he overreact in your opinion or should I really get myself a plastic cup for being too clumbsy.

I mean I have broken a lot of cups and glasses. My mother bought me metal cups for my bday. But I have broken anything this year. I broken 2 glass coffee presses , so I got a metal coffee press.

But it does suck, and especially if it's a favorite cup, or they do not make it anymore.

Yes but both are still made. And he didn't like any of those really, but he said that he liked the second one after it broke and before he said he didn't. These are not even his glasses and i said I will buy another tho parents didn't complicate at all

I mean of course we break cups, we're human right

[Paul09]

Yeah definitely over reacting. For me personally I hate wasting. So I break one too many. I get frustrated at myself ;p

Hey at least its kinda cheap and recyclable 😅

[Paul09]

Very true. That is a upside.

"He told me that I'm clumsy" That's just nasty. Dump this guy and meet someone kind.

Right, glasses break from time to time so you just buy new ones
