Her Date’s Dogs Destroyed Her Designer Bag And Wallet So Now She’s Asking The Internet If It’s Wrong To Ask Him To Make Good On Promising To Replace Them
A woman went over to her date’s place thinking they were going to have a nice time, but instead, his dogs destroyed her sentimental designer items.
Now, she’s asking the internet if it’s wrong of her to ask him to make good on his promise to replace the items his dogs ruined.
“I went over to the place of the person I am dating with a designer bag and wallet,” she started out by saying.
“I was apprehensive about even going over there because his dogs are unruly and shed a lot but they had never destroyed anything before.”
She and her date left that room where her things were and went into another room, and they were gone for around 20 minutes.
When they came back, his dogs had completely destroyed her waller; ripping it to literal shreds.
Her designer bag was also damaged by his dogs, though she described what they did as more on the minor side.
She understandably was upset about this, but not for the reason you might think. Her designer items were expensive, sure, but they were given to her as gifts.
Her dad bought the wallet and bag for her right before he passed away, so these items are irreplaceable, sentimental, and priceless to her.
Initially, she was not going to ask her date to have her belongings replaced, but he brought it up to her that he would like to pay to get her a new wallet and bag.

Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to get the exact bag and wallet that she had, since they are both no longer available from the retailer.
Her date said he was happy to give her the “full replacement value” and without tax, her bag originally cost $1,000 and her wallet cost $1,900.
She picked out a new bag and wallet from the same retailer, a backpack that is about $2,200, and a wallet that costs $400.
“He is upset and is saying he doesn’t feel comfortable buying “higher value” items and I should get a new $1000 bag and $1900 wallet,” she said.
She then said she doesn’t think the value of each piece is important as long as what they cost together is close to what her original items cost.
“It’s not like he gave me a budget for a gift and I am using him,” she concluded. “I am asking him to make good on the promise he made to replace what his dogs ruined.”
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“Your friend wanted to replace the Items with a total cost of $2,900 (without taxes) and you offer him a total of $2,600 to replace, and he gets mad at it?”
“He’s saving $300. What is he mad about?”
“Sounds to me like he offered to replace them until he knew what the cost actually was. When my BF met my sister and saw her collection of designer handbags he asked how much that was worth and guessed a number that was closer to 150/bag.”
“I laughed and told him each was at least 1500, some north of 3k. He was shocked. It’s just…not something men know.”
“I was also to ask, is he that bad at maths or is he playing dumb?”
“It’s pretty reasonable to expect that someone has trained their animals to not destroy things, especially in that short of a time window.”
“Demand money in the amount for the items and replace them with what you like. He doesn’t get to say how you spend your compensation.”
“The total value is what actually matters on the bank statement… It literally makes no practical difference as long as their combined value is not more than what he said he’d pay.”
“I don’t get why he’s complaining. Can he not do math? Or is he just regretting that he said he’d replace the items? I bet it’s the latter.”
