AITAH For demanding my husband to pay for a new a phone after he smashed my old one?

So my husband (m34) & I (f25) were fighting over something trivial last night. He is a hot- head and would break/smash stuff whenever he's angry. It's something he grew up with. Everytime he would just apologize and say he grew up watching his dad act like this. He said it's a bad habit he can't get rid of him. This "habit" would affect me financially and emotionally.

So, like I said last night we were arguing about the dishes and he got upset, grabbed my phone which was on the coffee table and smashed it onto the wall. I gasped when I saw it and ran to check if it was still working but it wasn't. The screen was SHATTERED completely. I lashed out at him and told him this was my phone. He quickly started apologizing saying he was so angry he couldn't see anything and reached for the first thing infrknt of it. He begged for forgiveness but I demanded that he pay for a new one and said I will not be speaking to him unless he agrees. He tried to talk to me trying to get me to forget about the whole thing and promised I won't see this behavior again but I refused. He's now saying stuff like "You act like you don't knkw how I get" or "You kept pushing me about the dishes" etc.

I'm seriously thinking about going to my mom's til my demands are met and hd still says I'm punishing him for something he cannot control.

AITA?
