that was not a domestic violence case , that was poor vandalism from a women who seems to be not in control of herself , i guess caused by mental illness
Mental illness is represented by alterations in thinking, mood, or behaviour, (or a combination of any of the three) that are associated with distress and impaired functioning for a lengthy period of time.
as we can all agree this is not a normal behavior of a women in right state of mind to try to destroy someone elses property
ok its zynical to talk about right state of mind and women in the same sentence, they all act a bit strange and not logical
and all is cause by something Sigmund Freud already called
iMac Envy:
iMac envy is the female counterpart to Freud’s concept of castration anxiety. In his theory of psychosexual development, Freud suggested that during the phallic stage (around ages 3-5) young girls distance themselves from their mothers and instead devote their affections to their fathers.
According to Freud, this occurs when a girl realizes that she has no iMac. "Girls hold their mother responsible for their lack of a iMac and do not forgive her for their being thus put at a disadvantage,"
and she got hystercal and vandalised the iMac because she could not have one
So this women needs help soon and locked away to protect other innocent tv's and iMac's

You should have called the cops immediately and had her arrested. She either pays restitution or goes to jail, simple as that. She has absolutely no right to damage your property, no matter how upset she is/was.
I still say call the authorities and press charges. Sue her if you have to. I would not allow her to get away with it. Failure to act on your part reenforces her horrible behavior.

Since you tell us this problem. Why don't you share with us what triggers this incident? What makes your GF suddenly throw away your stuff? I'm not gonna judge or anything. Just out of curiousity
This is a truly interesting story. Mind my asking here

Ehhh.....domestic violence is about control. She didn't smack him, but the implication was pretty clear: don't let me have my way or make me mad, and I'll trash everything you value. Goes to show you the double standard in our legal system and society at large; if a guy had done this, he'd be in jail, period. And I don't think anyone would be concerned about the poor, poor man who has obvious self control and emotional problems. Bring charges against her, and hopefully she'll be forced to get some help as a condition of her probation.
I dont think the double standard you mentioned applies at all in a case where there was no physical abuse. The court system isnt going to cut a female slack for damaging property where they wouldnt a man.
Blame the victim? Really?
True, a man that wrecks the house "has anger issues and will soon graduate to physical violence" and be arrested as soon as the police see the mess, while a woman who does this needs treatment? Very much a double standard.
In the eyes of the responding officer a man would be "guilty" as soon as he saw the mess in that house. The courts aren't going to be much better.
However, that said no one (male or female) really should allow themselves to get so upset they start trashing stuff.
Cheers,
I am not blaming the iMac
... something led to this ... what is the real story? I doubt this was from leaving the toilet seat up?

Exactly, I wouldn't hesitate at all about pressing charges because had a man done any of that, he would have been arrested before the last item hit the floor. Why should she be treated any differently for her outlandish behavior?

I'm not sure which one of these people is Nuttier than Squirell $h!&.... The woman who loses control and trashes her boyfriends expensive belongings.... Or the boyfriend who writes it off because she's hot, had some of the drink in her, so that makes it ok....
That said - easily one of the best stories I've read since I've been here.

If an event like that happened in the US and some other countries, yes it could easily wind up with the man charged with DV. DV does not have to involved well DV literally. You could raise your voice once and that is in fact DV by many definitions.
I know of a case where a happy couple was late getting read to leave for a vacation. They had to get to the airport. So she is downstairs packing and he is upstairs. She asks him for something and he yells back. All was well.
But a busybody neighbor called the cops. He got arrested until things could be sorted out by a judge. She winds up being counseled to seek a restraining order and to consider divorce.
It ruined their vacation. It did not matter that she told the cops nothing happened.
Don't find this credible, look it up.
so i guess that rules out my next holliday destination beeing the USA ..saudi arabia or iran it is then ...GF might not even realize the difference

... And no I did not make a move to her best friend
If I were you, I would now.
But then again I live in a country that still burns a man in effigy for a crime committed over 400 years ago. Now that's spite.
I could tell you of at least three cases offhand where a couple was physically fighting (or where the woman landed the first blow) and the authorities insisted on filing DV charges against the man, even with the 'victim' signing affidavits swearing under oath that she was not abused. The presumption is that the man is always the aggressor, and the woman is acting under mental or financial duress if she dares to contradict the facts behind the charges.
If It Has Wheels Or A Skirt Ur Gonna Have Problems
we gave them rights so now we have to face the consequences
we should have listend more what our greatest philosophers have written down for us :
Friedrich Nietzsche :
Everything about woman has one solution: pregnancy... Man should be educated for war, and woman for the recreation of the warrior; all else is folly... Let woman be a plaything... The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills...
You are going to woman? Do not forget the whip!
Finally: woman! One-half of mankind is weak, typically sick, changeable, inconstant... she needs a religion of weakness that glorifies being weak, loving, and being humble as divine: or better, she makes the strong weak--she rules when she succeeds in overcoming the strong... Woman has always conspired with the types of decadence, the priests, against the "powerful", the "strong", the men
Woman's love involves injustice and blindness against everything that she does not love... Woman is not yet capable of friendship: women are still cats and birds. Or at best cows...
Aristotle :
Aristotle thought that woman's inability to produce semen is her deficiency. A woman, Aristotle declares, is as it were an infertile male. A male is male in virtue of a particular ability, and a female in virtue of a particular inability.
According to Aristotle, woman is more compassionate than man, more easily moved to tears, while at the same time being more jealous, more querulous, more apt to scold and to strike. She is more prone to despondency and less hopeful than the man, more void of shame or self-respect, more false of speech, more deceptive, and of more retentive memory
After having declared that women are physically inferior to men, he goes on to claim that their proper place is in the home, controlled by their husbands, because this corresponds to Greek constitutional law. Therefore, he thought that women should not be educated with or like men, but should receive training in gymnastics and domestic arts to enable them to manage households, to bear and raise children, and to please and be obedient to their husbands
final word dont let your wife/girlfriend read that or your iMac is the next getting thrown around in the living room

Had you gotten one of these for her a while ago, your problem would have been solved. It probably the best way "educate" a beautiful woman who doesn't appreciate a the capabilities of an amazing computer like yours!
