Should I make him pay?

So, the exH was over here the other day getting some stuff out of the basement. I didn't go down the basement until like 2 days later. It was then that I saw that he had taken a Rubbermaid box with stock from old Direct Sales business and left it on the floor. He left the lid off and my dogs ate/chewed up over $100 worth of product (that's cost, not retail). I am still selling the stuff until my stock runs out, so now I am out the money. He acted all offended when I told him that he should at least reimburse me for my out of pocket cost of the items. What do you think?

    Depends if you want the headache. I understand the frustration. Maybe this is something you can bring up in the divorce proceedings?

    Oy. I'm with Meghans on this one. Although I would be crazily annoyed with him, from what you've said about him on here before it sounds like it might not be worth the hassle you'll go through to try to get the money. Your X sounds like an A. :)

    I don't know that I've read anything on here about your ex.  But, I know I'd be pissed.  To me, that's a lot of money to be out because of a stupid mistake.  Would he not be willing to pay you for it?

    Of course he should pay but if he is really like the douchebag you have described I'm sure he won't be giving you money anytime soon.

    As much as you deserve that money I would let that one go.  You will have bigger battles to fight in the future.

    Eh, I'd mention it to him in hopes he'd offer to pay, but I guess it doesn't sound like that will happen.  I wouldn't fight it.  Honestly, the situation sucks but if a random person was at my house and left the lid off of something and my dog ate it i'd blame myself for not checking and the dog, not the person who accidentally forgot to put it back. For that reason i'd let it go, 100.00 is probably going to be a small battle as you go through this divorce.
