Her Husband Dumped Her, But Now He’s Paying Her $400 A Month Not To Divorce Him, And She’s Using The Extra Money To Fund A Vacation
This woman and her husband were married for 25 years before he told her that he wanted to separate.
She begged him to change his mind and reconsider, but he didn’t, and she was absolutely heartbroken. Soon after, she found a way to enact petty revenge on him.
He moved out of the house after they ended up filing for a legal separation. Since he is self-employed, she was the one that held the health insurance for the entire family through her work.
Soon after he moved out, she got a new job that offered her an amazing deal on insurance, covering all health and dental for the entire family with a $100 deductible.
Since they aren’t divorced, he is still qualified to be on this new insurance of hers. However, he wasn’t going to make it that easy for him!
“But I am petty…so I charge him $400 a month for something that costs me $0,” she explained.
She decided to charge him $400 per month to allow him to be on her insurance, even though it doesn’t cost her a penny.
He could go look for insurance on his own, but it would be a lot more expensive for the kind of coverage he is getting through hers.
“I make sure he knows it costs me nothing, nada, zip to have him on my insurance and that his $400/month payment is funding my upcoming trip to Spain,” she said.

She could choose to file for a divorce just by paying $60 and filling out some paperwork, but then he would not be able to be on her really good health insurance any longer.
This pretty much pressures him into paying her the money so that she will not divorce him and he can stay on the insurance.
“So he is basically paying me $400 a month not to file for divorce after not wanting to be married anymore. I love it,” she concluded.
Do you think that you go out of your way to take out some petty revenge on your ex-spouse as she did? What would you use the extra $400 a month for?
