Anger management

Today, I was mad at my boyfriend, so I yanked the power cord for his computer while he was gaming. Turns out, that fried part of his computer and now it won't turn on. He broke up with me, even after I apologized, and offered to replace the part. FML

The probability is you fried the power supply - Not the most expensive subsystem in the computer but still a pain and it could be expensive if you have someone else do the replacement or you aren’t technically competent. That’s not supposed to cause damage but sometimes it does… If you have something to say, just get in their face and open your mouth and say it instead of having a hissy fit and damaging things. That’s lesson number 1… Lesson #2 is compromise. Neither person in a relationship is really in 100% control. You always have to work things out and compromise instead of trying to force things to be the way you want. This is every bit as important as lesson #1 if not more so… Frankly my sympathy is with your ex.

Being involved with someone who destroys my property in fits off rage? I doubt the monetary loss is the reddest of the flags here.

People really need to learn not to **** with other people stuff. relationship or not, if it isn't yours don't **** with it. and you clearly don't know much about computers show you definitely should have left it be. yell, scream, storm out, kick them out etc, but stop ******* with people's shit. that has been my Ted talk.

Yeah, because damaging someone else's property is the best way to vent your frustration. You should replace the part regardless, but I wouldn't blame your boyfriend if he didn't take you back. Chances are, you'd do it again.
