I don't care who they are, if anyone EVER id that to my models i would slug them

Believe me. if i didnt want to get put in jail or want more problems. easier said than done. i cant have problems with the law my job counts on it.

No amount of pie is worth this aggravation. Take her to small claims court for damages, then bang her best friend. Problem...acceptably reciprocated.

Then I would make her pay for the damages, if she refuses then take her to court. Whether you stay with her or not up to you and how you feel aboiut her and the relationship :/

ROFL!

I feel like this is a unstoppable force meets an immovableobject. You know what I mean? its like wtf we been here this long nothing like this ever happened before. i think we just need to seek something with this exp and go from there.

So has this happened to anyone else in the dakkaverse?

Well... at least go for the angry sex man, here its wonderful.Might save your relationship, lol.

Just throwing it out there, its really easy for the rest of us to tell you to quit this girl, etc. but we have no emotional investment in this. That decision is really not one we can make for you or even really advise you. I know from experience (this didn't happen to me, it happened recently to a friend, but I was there holding his hand through most of it) that a girl can treat you like absolute scum, sleep with other guys, etc. and everyone in the world will tell you you can do better, and you will even get romantic/sexual advances from other girls that are way way more attractive and have much better personalities, etc. and you will still refuse to end the relationship because you're 'in love' and have a deep emotional investment.

If you do feel like the relationship is worth salvaging, then I probably wouldn't seek damages for the minis, but the way I see it, if she is worth keeping then she'll offer to cover the loss on her own once she has calmed down.

It's easy to say to quit her because this relationship will almost assuradely end badly. At this point it should at least end quickly.

Seriously, ask every guy you know if they ever dated a girl that did stuff like that. Than ask them if they're still together.

Again, see my post (the one above yours) on why we can tell him that 'til kingdom come, but our advice can't/won't really factor into his ultimate decision. Emotions make you blind to logic.

Oh, i"m not disagreeing with you, just hoping he'll avoid making a mistake.

thanks for all the outlooks to look for. i see i have alot of thinking to do and hopefully this can all be solved in a civil mannor. weather it be for staying together or breaking up leaving on bad terms is something i couldnt deal with.

You can't think like that, because it gives her power.

It only takes one person to change a relationship to being on bad terms. Why do you care what terms it ends on? It's different if you have kids together, but why sacrafice anything just to be on speaking terms with her?

Because speaking terms leaves the possibility for booty calls

Yes, you should probably break up. What was the argument about?

As he said earlier, their car broke down.

that's pretty much it, but you're not going to make a break up into a positive one. They happen naturally.

See what I mean? But I agree with Polonius, never think on those terms, that devalue's your self worth and gives her emotional, mental, and to an extent physical control over you.

I can't believe this thread has gotten to 2 pages without someone asking for pics....








...of the minis in their current state...

Very good people telling him to take her to small claims. Honesty, has anyone every heard of someone taking a girlfriend to small claims and winning, over toy soldiers?

If she's nuts it'll cause even more aggro, better off cutting her loose.

On the other hand, maybe she does need help. If it's hugely out of character and she's ended up hurting herself... well there could be issues that a group of painters and armchair tacticians can't help you with.

Couples counselling if you think it's worth it, she may have serious things that she hasn't discussed, I don't know. Either than or let her go. Don't push the cost of the figures either way, I can't see how that will end well.

Polonius wrote:Break up.
File a claim for damages in small claims court.

This.

Make fun of little toy soldiers all you want-- but the woman still destroyed SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS worth of property.

What would you do if someone took a sledgehammer to your car and caused six hundred dollars worth of damage?

I would call this an "ex girlfriend rampage" if you get my drift. If your significant other is crazy enough to break your stuff, he or she is not worth your time.

Step one: Change all passwords

step two: Break up

Step three: Judge Mathis

Step four: rent an apartment

step five: Rig a 357 to front door

step five b: rig a 357 to back door

step six: electric bars on windows

step seven: spend any remaining money from lawsuit to rebuild army.

step eight: Disregard steps 5-6.

Step Nine: Disregard step 8 if she begins to stalk you.

step ten: if step eight is disregarded, learn to dodge bullets.

Please do not do this, it is quite dangerous to do so, it is also illegal in the USA.

Also Please do not advise anyone to do the above, as it is quite dangerous to do so, not to mention Illegal.

If, like you said, nothing like this happened before and she merely slammed her hands on the desk(without purposefully) flipping it, do couples counseling. If not, dump her, I had an ex(yes, she was hot) who did similar things when upset, this is what we call a red flag, look around for more or ask friends if they see any, I know most aren't seen until after the fact, DON'T BE LIKE ME!!!

You lost 600 dollars worth of freshly painted models? And you aint got money to fix a car? My advice, spend dough on car and girl, lose the hobby till your wallet is fatter.

My fiance threw my drop pod like a football against a wall. She almost put John Elway to shame.

Good advice, but doesn't change the fact that his girlfriend is quite possibly flying rodent gak insane.

I support breaking up and filing a claim for damages.

He never said when all he bought the 600 worth of stuff just that it was how much all the freshly painted stuff was. Also I believe it was stated that the car unexpectedly broke down. Sadly in today's economy not everyone has a savings set aside for emergencies.

Sorry.
Was meant to be a joke, since any rational person would notice doing that would leave them no exits or entrances to their house. I'll be more clear next time (or at last make the punchline Tau and Space Marines. That seems to work for alot of other people around here)

OP: for reals advice would just be sue and break up, Maybe a restraining order if you felt it necessary

600 dollars of damage is just that. Get out of the line of fire. Get a secure place to live and stow your stuff. Get a restraining order first against her and then sue her for damages and stress.
