I don't think its confined to partners, its just how some people are. I once
sold a portable tv to my cleaner. It had been working for some years, but of
no use to me with failing sight. She had it three weeks when the power on
off button broke. I gut it repaired but I heard later that she had somehow
managed to break off the door that covers the preset controls and superglued
it back on, then she broke the aerial connector.
Its interesting since she went through three vacuum cleaners while she was
my cleaner, eternally patching them up with duct tape.

I also had a friend who continuously managed too break thermometers, the
liquid filled kind, and also bits of his car like the controls on the
steering column.
Some people are just naturally clumsy.

And then there is what they do to cars.

Just repair the old one.

I've just fixed the broken switch on my kettle with Araldite: the flimsy
stirrup shaped lever broke. I don't know how long it'll last.
