I sympathize without inference of any kind. I heard about a (Surely "a" is acceptable?) wife who used to break things on purpose. For example, one should close the bathtub valves before closing the shower diversion valve in order to prevent pressure shock on the assembly parts. This was explained the very first time the loud bang was heard and again many times thereafter, to no avail. The first replacement required cutting an access in the kitchen wall and making a presentable access panel. As well, it required cutting into the basement ceiling, removing the wet insulation, drying out the works, installing new insulation, making an access panel, and painting. The second replacement was bothersome. The third was the straw that broke the husband's back. The ultimatum was issued: Fuck it up again and YOU call a plumber and YOU pay for it. Yup... you guessed it... next morning... BANG. Maybe this wife was just not a "morning person"?

Quiz: How many spoons does it take to destroy a garburator?

BTW, just wondering... if spouse A, accidentally of course, burns a cigarette long burn mark in the kitchen vinyl flooring which spouse A doesn't care for anymore even though it's fine in the mind of spouse B, should spouse A go fuckin apeshit when spouse B says, "No. I am NOT calling the insurance company. That is obviously fraud. Ya want new flooring, call a flooring contractor and YOU pay for it."

I'll stop short of the dishwasher, the oven, the screen door, the living room curtains, the... as the above oughta provide enough fodder for future conversation or contention or whatever.
