If she isn't your wife I would press charges. If she is, well, then you probably need a lawyer for other reasons. I told my wife there are few things which I would consider even hitting her for, and this is one of them. lol
Wonder what she did to his car? The one thing that will cause this is cheating on them,
if you didn't cheat with her best friend or sister or something LOL... then well she would be able to find all her stuff in the dumpster on fire down the street.
Beating up, vandalizing, or mocking my pins is grounds for getting the boot IMO. Guests and girlfriends alike.

I showed my wife and simply told her to TELL me she wants a divorce instead. Saves a lot of time and effort on both sides.
Thanks for the laugh since there was no context given for the picture. Reminds me of the fools on youtube who trash the Rolling Stone pin...sad, very sad.
Wow, a lot of replies all wanting to know what I did. I won't get into specifics, let's just say I was in the wrong- and fusion301, my car is just fine 
. We are working it out and she feels worse about the pins than I do. Don't get me wrong, I love my machines (or should I say "our" machines now) but at the time of the incident I was concerned more for her. Besides, I can always replace parts and glass, I can't replace my wife.
Look at the bright side. Now you have the perfect excuse to pick up some of that non-glare optical grade glass you've been lusting after:

I don't know what is possessing me to resurrect this 9 month old thread. Boredom? Sympathy? Praise? Either way, we're getting a divorce. One thing for certain is, I know I can now walk away from it knowing I tried everything I could in my power to make it work out. I guess some things are better left where they are- a memory...Now, just to assure you, my fellow pinheads, all my machines are currently residing with me. Now I can get more! Eventually.
Wow I feel your pain, bro. Although she didn't smash anything; she just took most of it. My one pin (at the time) was safe at a buddy's house.
Good luck on the new future. I've been there done that, and it's no fun. I feel for you. It does get better. Now you can start on that man cave you've always wanted.

Wow. What a post. I started reading and I was so sad. I saw all of those poor helpless machines and the thought of a fellow pinhead living with such a woman....then the story gets better....DIVORCE....It's time to celebrate. Life begins anew. Buy a pin you'll feel better.
Cool that you can say that you tried everything and now can walk away & move on.
Still rough seeing all the damage
Yet another reason I plan on never getting married. If a dude did this to a lady, he'd be in jail no doubt. I'll keep my freedom and my pinball machines.
Thank you all for your words of support. It has been rough, yes. Now begins a healthier, re-bachelorfied life. I have fixed all the machines long ago and everything is running 100%. They're currently in a room where she never wanted them- the living room! I have enough space to fit at least 3 more machines. Look out excessive spending, here I come!

That's so awesome! Mine are in the dining room. Rock on, brutha!
Best thing I ever did was get divorced...Now I get to have all the games I want and am slowly getting them. Keep on spending Nightmare.

I do not care what was done nothing deserves this.
You should press charges so the crazy biatch does not go through the rest of her life acting this way.
Upset no problem destroy personal belongings due to being upset illegal.
Same goes for any POS that cheats on there wife and the wife destroys there rig.
Cheater fine leave him call him names but do not destroy stuff that is just bat$hit crazy.
For the record all above statements are my opinions.
Kind of like everything I write in this little box. =-)
Best of luck with the repairs and if you have not distanced yourself from her then the next thing she destroys is your own fault. I personally see this as a huge character flaw and would never consider someone like this wedding material but to each there own.
I guess things as a bachelor did not work out the way he had planned. He is now down to only one of the pins.
