Search Results: boyfriend is locked up

I have an iPhone 6s Plus that I bought outright about a year ago.

To cut the sorry, I asked my dad to pick up my handbag (which has a magnetic lock) and I thought I had flipped it and locked it. I hadn't. My dad is disabled and he just sort of grabbed it any angle. My phone slid out and the screen smashed on the ground.

My phone is insured through my bank. My boyfriend thinks I should embellish it and say my phone is completely broken and ask/expect a new one and renew the warranty. I'm in two minds because I run my business from my phone and my phone isn't fully backed up due to full storage, and the screen repair is £90 (excess is £100).

his argument is what is more damage is done? It's a £750 phone. My argument is is it worth doing everything from scratch again?

what are your thoughts?

My boyfriend seems to get into situations that make me wonder if he has an anger management problem (apart from having a very short temper when it comes to our own disagreements). Yesterday was just another one in a list of events that occurred in the past 6 months, namely:

- A couple was being very loud in the supermarket and kept bumping into him in the queue to check out, at what point he turned around, smashed their groceries out of their hands on the floor and walked out. He says the crowd was looking at him in an approving kind of way, because the couple was behaving badly.

- A skateboarder was going too fast through a pedestrian tunnel and nearly knocked over his mum, which prompted him to run after him and press him up against the wall until he apologised.

- There were 'dodgy looking kids' and some car windows smashed when he was driving with his mum through a street, which prompted him to grab the wheel lock and run out of the car to chase them and tell them they are not welcome in his area.

- He crossed a red light on his bike (waited once pedestrians had crossed), and a homeless guy started shouting abuse at him, which prompted him to cycle back, lean his bike against the wall and confront the guy (I was there for this one, it was scary).

- Two homeless foreigners said something in their language that we could not understand when we walked past them, he took it as an insult and started getting ready for a fight. Luckily one of them was reasonable enough to keep him away from his bigger mate (I was there for this one as well, scary again).

- A kid on a bike nearly drove into him, again he stops and confronts the kid in a scene, the kid pretends (or doesn't, who knows) to have a knife and he still baits him and mocks him until a crowd forms and the kid walks away.

Now my boyfriend says that this is just him standing up for himself and if he didn't do that people would think they can just behave however they want.

What do you guys think?
