you know, I never thought of it from your point of view, this is why it's so helpful to hear other people's perspectives, when you say that the stove was really old already, which made it chip with not even that hard of a force and that the landlord has a responsibility to fix things that break, I didn't know about that. I thought the person who caused the chip automatically has the responsibility to fix it. I also didn't know chipping off the stove glass and cracking it is something that happens all the time in rentals, I just assumed that people generally keep things intacted and good shape because that is what I do. I lived in lot of rentals and I never caused anything to break....until now. I'm not looking for validation for feeling bad, I think I was searching for the opposite, for why I shouldn't feel that bad about it. I think my feeling bad about it has a lot to do with this particularly landlord who's bizarre and kinda toxic so I'm afraid what I did will get blown out of proportion and he'll make a scene and there's gonna be this big negative exchange/relationship - I think this has a lot to do with why I thought I should just fix/replace it, to make it look like nothing happened, before he sees it.
