Hmm.... Not sure if i'm understanding you completely, but: No. Probably not. if you bought an iPod at the hundreds of dollars it costs, and your boyfriend gave you his word to have it back to you, then you should definitely be mad at him. Responsibility. Trustworthiness. Expenses... ...How could you not have seen him in a month? is there some kind of business he tends to in that time (or you? those classes/work?)? That sounds awful suspicious if not. Why wouldnt he have called you sooner about your "broken" iPod if he had at least a phone available? Its too convenient that when you asked he said it's broken. Perhaps he was a coward and couldnt fess up right away. I dunno. Sounds suspicious to me. Don't be mad at yourself.

oh wow huh. That does suck, but it still raises the question why your ipod was broken and how did it break while still in his possession. Did he have a fight with the guy and he broke it then? Dang. I commend your boy for sticking up for his mom though. If the breakin' of your ipod and his fighting/going to jail have nothing to do with each other, then i suppose he'd want to help you get it back. After all the mess is over, perhaps you can talk it over with him?

I'd be mad for several reasons; first, he didn't tell you; second, he's not showing enough concern about your lost class work. Why did you wait so long to ask him about it, since your classwork was on it? I would say you're not over reacting. I'd probably over react by dumping the BF!

Wow, no, I do not think you're overreacting at all. I would be so pissed off if I were you, I might have beat the person up, lol. Yeah, I'd think the least he should do is get you a replacement, and if he's at all a gentleman, he'd help you with your classwork since he screwed you over in the first place. Good luck with your predicament, hope all goes well!

That's a great idea! I person like that couldn't love you well maybe. If he did maybe he did say sorry or beg for mercy? But this response is so right. This is what a normal person would do :D

Hello persona_touch, tell me how are you feeling this time? You're not overreacting. Maybe if I am at your situation now I could have done more to him than just shouting or whatever. I guess he's not a caring guy after all and he couldn't be trusted after what he'd done with your Ipod.. With your classwork.. if he's a gentleman he could have helped you with it. He's not a right guy for you, you deserves more.

Yah that is crap, He should have told you right when it happened. Youre not overreacting but maybe you should talk to him. He was probley scared to tell you, thinking you might get mad at him.

No you are not overreacting. This is a matter of respect, and it isn't being shown. I also don't think that your boyfriend being in jail,no matter the reason is any excuse. I think you need to take a good look at this relationship, if it is this way over an IPOD, things are only going to get worse as you get deeper in this relationship. Take this advice from someone who has been in your place and learned many years ago.

I do not think that you are over reacting at all. He should of at least had the decency to tell you that he broke it. He should have told you as soon as it happened and not have waited until you asked for it back. Trying to hide the facts is never going to fix any one's problems only make them worse like in your case.

No you are not over reacting at all. He should have told you about and replaced it and been very very very appologetic at losing your class work. He should have been a man about it. How he handled the whole thing was really really childish.

Hi, persona_touch. No you are not overreacting at all. Your boyfriend should have taken better care of your Ipod. He should at least offer to buy you another one too. He should have taken better care of your Ipod. If he knew that your classwork was saved on it, he should have returned it back to you in a stable condition as he first got it from you.

No, if it had your class work on it he should have been more careful with it, he also should have told you that he broke it when it happened, now you've got to worry about the classwork you have on it.
