He Is Refusing To Give His Late Fiancé’s Family Any Of Her Life Insurance Money Because They Blamed Him For Her Death
When this man was thirty years old, he was madly in love with his fiancé, who was twenty-four.
After finishing college, his fiancé even moved across the country to be with him before they got engaged. Tragically, though, she was hit by a car and never survived. On top of that, her parents were not very receptive to him as her partner.
“She took a long time to die. Long enough for her parents to come and forbid me from going to the hospital to be with her,” he recalled.
Then, once she ultimately passed away, her parents transported her body back to Maine and forbade him from attending the funeral. In fact, they said he would be removed if he even attempted to show up.
So, he simply respected their wishes and decided to visit her gravesite at a later point– the location of which he could only find out from her former roommates.
Yet again, though, his visit was clouded by her family.
“I only got to see it [her grave] once because her mom was there with her little brother when I went, and she lost it on me,” he explained.
“Her mom said it was my fault she was in a city far away from her family and that it [the accident] would not have happened if I hadn’t dragged her to California. And her brother told me he hated me like only a seven-year-old can.”
In turn, he left his late fiancé’s grave and never looked back. Don’t get me wrong– it took him a long time to get over the heartbreak, and the situation still hurts him to this day.

Nonetheless, he went on to meet his current wife– who he got married to about a year ago– and start a new life.
Despite his greatest efforts, though, his late fiancé’s family has made another appearance in his life. And this time, they are searching for money.
This stems all the way back to when he was first engaged and working for a prominent technology company. However, around the time his fiancé passed away, he became extremely discontent at work and had trouble concentrating.
So, he took a leave of absence and endured some terrible mental health struggles. But, after a couple of months, he realized that his late fiancé would have hated seeing him like that.
In turn, he decided to start on a new path. Before she passed, his late fiancé had made him the beneficiary of her life insurance. This allowed him to resign from his job and use the newfound money to fund a start-up company.
And now, even though he is “not Oprah rich,” his late fiancé’s family wants a cut of the cash.
Apparently, her little brother was recently accepted into a prestigious Ivy League university– which is both very exciting but also extremely expensive.
So, her little brother and parents have both been reaching out in hopes of securing some of the insurance money to cover the tuition. In fact, they are even trying to guilt him into doing it by claiming they will need to take out a mortgage on their house just to afford it.
And, if you couldn’t have guessed it, her family is also saying he was wrong to even accept and keep the money in the first place.
But, their accusations, coupled with past events, have left him in an extremely difficult situation.
They abandoned him during one of the worst times of his life– when he had no other family– and now they want his help.
So basically, he is torn between punishing them for their past actions or being the bigger person.
“The money they want is negligible to me. I could give it to them without in any way compromising my lifestyle. I want to brag about how little it will affect me, but I feel petty. It’s just not much to me, but it is life-changing for them,” he said.
His current wife has decided to keep her opinion out of it and believes that the decision is completely up to him. So, he has been left wrestling with his current state of mind and his late fiancé’s wishes.
“I want to punish them for how they treated me. But I know my late fiancé would want me to help her family.”
What would you do if you were in his shoes? Is it more important to honor what his late fiancé would have wanted or finally get back at her family?
