Have you ever connected with someone your ex-partner entered a relationship with after you broke up? It sounds odd, but it’s happened before.

One woman recently upset her ex when she contacted his current fiancée so she could deliver a gift his late mom left with her. 

She’s 30 and used to be engaged to Anthony, who’s 32. Their relationship ended four years ago, and they never had a wedding. It was a painful split, as they had known each other since high school.

“I moved across the country when I moved out of our shared home,” she said.

“We cut contact following our split and have remained no contact ever since. We have mutual friends still, so I occasionally receive updates about his life, and I am sure he receives the same.”

Five years ago, while they were still engaged, Anthony’s mother, Liz, passed away due to illness. Before she died, Liz left a gift for her to give to Anthony on his wedding day since she knew she wouldn’t be there. She stored the gift with some of her things and forgot about it during their breakup and her big move. 

But recently, she found out that Anthony is engaged to a woman named Beth.

“My first thought was that I am really happy for them and wish them all the best,” she recalled.

“I then was thinking about our canceled wedding and his mom. I really loved her like a second mom, and I was struck with the sinking feeling that I still had the letter and gift from her and that I had never returned it to the family.”

The only thing was Liz didn’t want her to share the gift with her husband or other children, so it had to be given to Anthony. 

She’s remarried and talked to her husband about the situation. Together, they came up with different ways she could get the gift to Anthony. If she called him up and asked him if he wanted it before his wedding, she felt she’d ruin the surprise Liz had planned.

After thinking over other plans that wouldn’t work, she decided it would be best to reach out to Beth, explain the situation, and get her to give Anthony the gift from his mom on their wedding day.

“I reached out to her via social media DM and wrote her an extensive letter detailing what I have stated above,” she explained.

“I told her she could do with this information what she wanted, but that I would be in my hometown next month and would love to get these items to her. Apparently, this was the wrong thing to do.”

Beth told Anthony she had reached out to her, and he was furious. He reached out to her and said she had no business contacting his fiancée. 

Now, she feels bad. All she wanted was to honor Liz’s wishes, and now she’s being made to feel like she went out of line. 

Did she do anything wrong by reaching out to Beth?
