So before I start this was a very minor event that happened and I will admit that the entire thing sounds EXTREMELY childish. 

So I am very ticklish (this is important to the story) like insanely ticklish. Anyways, I was playing video games on the couch  with 2 of my best friends. One of those two friends and his fiancé had just bought a new apartment together and were having a “housewarming party” Other people were at the house but not in the room. 

My two friends were purposefully trying to make me lose at the game we were playing, so they kept poking me in the stomach or sides while playing. The one who was doing it the most was the host of the event. At one point, I said to the host, “if you poke me in the stomach one more time I’m smacking the controller out of your hand.” Looking back on it now it was dumb because they were laughing and having a good time but I was genuinely getting really pissed at them because I hate being poked and shit.

So my friend pokes me one more time, and so leaned in for a wild swing and knocked the controller straight out of my friends hand. Issue was, I was not thinking about where the controller would land and it went directly into the TV and shattered the screen. The controller was fine, but the tv was destroyed. My friends fiancé then ran into the room and started yelling asking what happened. I got immediately ratted out. 

Now if nothing else so far has made me look like an asshole, this next part definitely will. So my friends fiancé began to demand that I buy them a new tv. At first I flat out refused because I was still pissed about them poking me, but eventually after reflecting I felt that it was my fault for breaking the TV and thus offered to pay for Half price of a tv, provided it was the same kind that they already had (about 300-400). His fiancé is still demanding I pay full price for the tv. The other people in our group of friends are staying out of it, but I honestly wish I just knew if I was justified in only wanting to pay half the price for the TV or if I should be obligated to pay full price.
