Yes I know that and I appreciate it. But would you want to pay for something you didn’t do? Blaming me and telling me to pay for it is just wrong. 

Let me see her pic and cell #. I might be able to deal with your little problem for you

She didn't do it deliberately, she did it so you would have a nice birthday. Tough love getting her to pay for the repairs.

Perhaps I'm a bit of a pushover, but I'd probably just go and buy some filler and barely mention it.  Just part of being with a woman.

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

It’s not about the money it’s a matter of principle. I have no idea who you are and frankly I don’t care. I don’t need any life lessons from you but thanks “dad”. 

My question is why would she want to be with you in the first place, is she biggun?

[ChrisP24]

Practical approach:  Get some spot paint, white out, or a white marker to cover them for now up so you don't have to look at them, as it appears seeing them will bother you and cause tension for you between you and your GF.  Then get some matched paint or hire someone to paint (or any of the other solutions others have suggested) right before you're ready to move, as if you do it now there may well be other little things like this that happen, and it's easier just have a handyman fix all of it at once. 

 

Global approach:  Engage in honest introspection to discover why it's even conceivable for you to not only blame your GF and be so petty that you want her to pay for it, but then go out of your way to post it here on a public forum to get validation that it's her fault (which you're not getting much of because most men would just be happy that their GF took time to celebrate their birthday and not give a second thought to minor wear and tear of this sort)

 

These sorts of things happen.  If it bothers to this point then you'd probably be happier without a live-in GF.

You posted three times saying random stuff not trying to help or answer my question. You got a lot of free time it seems. Thanks for your input anyway.

Dude, It's bad enough the way you treat the girl but then to come on here seeking sympathy. Grow a set. Pathetic

I asked her why she didn’t buy helium balloons and she said they were more expensive haha. It’s alright though since now I know how to fix it.

 

thanks. 

Yes.  You are so LUCKY to have such a nice GF to remember your birthday.  I hope that you always keep in mind just how lucky you truly are.  Just laugh about it, and go on.

I’m sure you’re a wonderful white knight who bends over for any woman you can catch. I believe in being fair and equal. Thanks for your input though. 

 

Do you charge her for use of the air-con ?... y’know, just to be fair an equal ???

 

Seriously... charging for a mistake, its a bit of a d!<k move... actually, its a lot of a d!<k move...  classy guy !

Then why even bother with the story ?

 

“Hey guys, any idea how to fix this ?” - picture attached... 

 

 

OR a whinge about his girl making a mistake and showing what a man he is by charging her for the fix !!!...

 

A real man of course would google the the fix !!! 

[sherwood]

The thing is and I understand where the OP is coming from, is that some of these girls/women are Nuts 

What can you do? My wife is six months pregnant, she farts and I get the blame. Never mind.

I felt a bit of context would liven up you and everyone’s Friday night and it seems it did the trick by inciting a lovely response from you and some of the others. 
 

cheers.

 You would be surprised how many different shades of white there are.

In the U.S. I used a lot of "Antique White" over the years.  Very nice shade.  Went to a Big Box store and asked for it.  The mixer guy gave me a look and a little lip and pointed to a rack with a huge number of "white" paint samples.  I took a glance, grabbed a sample ticket just from eyeballing and handed it to the guy.  Sure enough, "antique white".  ????

 

I raised two boys.  I got good at making invisible sheet rock repairs and overpainting/blending where they punched holes or drew on walls with markers.  (Probably an outgrowth of altering the birth date on my ID so I could buy beer as a minor.)

I want to change rooms soon so that’s why I need to fix it now. I’m not worried about the future with any woman. Also I’m not asking anyone for relationship advice. Thanks anyway. 

just because you didn't ask for relationship advice, doesn't mean you will not get any, this is aseannow

Blaming you?  Did you pull the paint off or her?  In either case can not imagine coming onto a forum to moan about it or expecting someone to pay extra costs for trying to give you a happy birthday but guess I am of a different generation.  

His fault for having a birthday...remember this is a Thai woman......555

He now seems to claim it was just a troll - guess he feels exempt from forum rule 9.

Take a small paint chip and take it to a good paint shop,they have a computer that can scan

the color and give you the exact same color

I have yet to find a shop that has a computer to scan the colour,  all the ones I have been to  only have  printed colour swatches  where you have to pick the best match  and that can be tricky  due to  lighting conditions in the shop  also the paint machine has to be kept in good condition and cleaned properly other wise the colour can be  different to the calculated colour..in my experience the colour is wrong more times than its right

often very close but the human eye is very good at detecting shades of colour.

[seajae]

if the gyprock facing is lifting you need to use a stanlry knife/box cutter to cut around that area, make sure that all the edges of the damage are solid then patch it, sand  and apply 2 coats of matching paint, you can  lightly stipple the  painted area with the brush you use so it will match into the ceiling better as it will look like the paint applied by a roller.

Any bets on how she'll handle next year's birthday? ????

If she hasn’t ‘booggered-awf’ by then I expect we’ll see another post from the Op...

 

 

‘My GF did nothing for my birthday....????....  cry cry whinge whinge... I’m thinking of charging her for the birthday cake I ordered for myself !!!”  ????

[JimHuaHin]

I had exactly the same problem several years ago - she used masking tape!!!!

 

I decided to just wait for the balloons to fall off - which they all did, eventually - some left the tape behind, others came off with no damage to the ceiling.

 

Thinking is ....

[Sydebolle]

Any worker will scrape off the layer, re-coat the ceiling and paint it new for little money. 

Well meant, it went the other way round, no need to get excited over a few thousand Baht - me thinks!

It is about the money otherwise you wouldn't be moaning about it.

Talk about a cheap charlie.

They sell that texture spray in a can. At least they do in the US. Also called Acoustic Spray Texture. Or popcorn ceiling texture.

 

Just peel away or scrape off all the loose stuff gentally before you apply it. Only problem would be matching the color.

 

You know the girls are only using half of there brain most of the time.

Don't need to be so hard on her.

Thanks for your input. I’m sure you like getting stepped all over but I believe in being fair. I was not at fault so I shouldn’t be responsible for the damages as her names on the lease as well. 

I would assume you share all expenses then, so share this expense too.

[easydoor]

What kind of a man are you? In case I was your girlfriend I would leave a person as you are. You are one of the cheap farangs. For what it will cost: repaint the ceiling and just chut up.
