I'd set some boundaries and gift a G-Shock.

Michael Kor makes a lot of watches that looks like Rolex and they are much cheaper than fixing one.

Wow. I think we need details. That's some extreme damage for average daily use.

Gold is too soft. Maybe stainless steel helps?

Why does she touch your watches?
Nobody is touching mine. And above anyone else my wife!! It’s like giving a crystal glass to a 1 year old kid!

she was looking for my Platona when she broke the sub. she said she threw it across the room. Was at a bar hanging out with my buddy and missed a few of her calls.. and that made her furious..

the first time i she broke my watch a few year back it was my fault.. i said some things i shouldn't say and the watch was in sight.

I can definitely understand how she broke the DJ. I mean we all are people, we all sometimes drop stuff. But the Sub's clasp? I don't really understand how did she manage to do that, unless it was intentional. EDIT: Just saw it was intentional, yeah IDK what to say about that. I go with other people's suggestion, get a G-Shock.

Sounds like you need a new girl friend, seriously!

Sounds about right.

If I want something broken or scratched up, I'll give it to my girlfriend.

Brand new maple floor stained dark walnut. First day my girlfriend drops a large dinner plate and it smashes and puts deep gouges in the brand new floor.

New Herman Miller coffee table. Within 2 months she has smashed the vacuum cleaner into the legs and put dings and nicks in the wood. One nice one on the edge recently appeared also.

New Carl Hansen and Sons chair and my girlfriend slams it into the edge of our computer table. It is an old metal office desk from the 50's. New chair vs metal desk and the desk won. Large gouges in a brand new $1300 chair.

WTF!?

I have cd's I bought back in the late 80's that don't even have finger print on them.

If I want something destroyed, I'll give it to my girlfriend.

I was going to buy her a real nice watch for her 45th b-day but she's getting a low end Longines so if it breaks, I won't get too upset.

Get a box or a safe she can't open. and get her, yourself, and couples counseling and anger classes not court ordered ones but like for parenting or couples. I took some anger classes and I am shocked how good they were, its insane to me we don't require them taught at public school, same with taxes, if taxes are required you should teach people how to do them.

Seriously I don't care if I had a 10 year affair, breaking things is not sustainable, you may need a new gf unless she changes, this can quickly escalate to a point where things are done. She could kill you, or put you in jail. The threshold for being jailed by a woman in the USA are very, very, very low because they want to protect them and its usually no-bail until you see a judge.

I would see if she can change and if not, its time to pull the plug. You can't be too tied up to one woman, you have to keep the barriers to exit in any relationship low, she can get your house, ruin your future, etc. I'd also lead by example and improve yourself.

I'm sorry to read that you are gowing through this. It sounds like you're reaching out for comfort or to see if things like this are the norm, but they are not okay, and it's not normal.

Does not sound like a healthy relationship at all.

Good luck, man

🥂

She would have been packing at this point. No way I am tolerating childish behavior.

Sounds like the hallmarks of a sour relationship to be frank. I should know with how my stepmother treated my father before he divorced her.
