His Ex-Wife Left Him After He Lost His Leg In A Car Accident And Tried To Tell Him That His New Wife Might Do The Same, So He Accused Her of Being Self-Centered
This 45-year-old man was married to his ex-wife, Kelly, for 15 years. During their marriage, they had two kids together– who are now 16 and 10-years-old. Then, about seven years ago, they got divorced.
Apparently, he was in a tragic car crash, which ultimately caused him to lose his leg. And rather than stick by his side during this trying time, his wife decided to leave him.
“Fifteen years went down the drain because I was in a car crash,” he recalled.
“I was the main provider, and we had a toddler at home, and she said that she couldn’t ‘care for us both.’ I’m not here to bash her; that’s just the backstory.”
Ever since divorcing his ex-wife, though, his life has turned around. He is now married to his second wife, Shay, and they tied the knot two years ago.
They are also currently expecting their first kid together, and Shay has helped him raise his other two kids– since he gets custody of them bi-weekly.
According to him, Shay is wonderful, too, and has all of the qualities that his ex-wife did not. It seems like his ex-wife is not happy about his relationship, though.
“Kelly always makes comments about how the age difference is a ‘red flag’ and how I should watch out,” he revealed.
“I’ve always brushed them aside as I only have to see her during drop-offs and pickups.”

However, ever since his ex-wife found out that he and Shay are having a child, she has only doubled down on her ridicule of his wife.
In fact, she keeps reminding him that he is an amputee who will have to take care of a newborn– asking him if he’s sure that he’s up to the task.
His ex-wife even had the nerve to ask if his current wife is “gonna put up with it.”
But, just yesterday, his ex Kelly seriously stepped over the line. She told him that he needed to have a “backup plan,” just in case it didn’t work out.
This remark pushed him to completely snap, and he finally told Kelly that not everyone was a “self-centered [jerk] like her.”
His ex-wife became pretty furious after that, and she even brought their kids back to her house– even though it was supposed to be his custody week.
Afterward, he tried calling and texting Kelly numerous times since he wanted to see his children.
However, all she replied was a very long text about how she couldn’t believe he would say something like that to the mother of his kids.
Kelly also claimed that she was just trying to “warn him” about the potential outcome of starting a life with a “younger woman.”
Now, he still has not replied to his ex-wife’s message.
“But my wife and I want to see my kids, so she says I should just suck it up and apologize,” he vented.
That’s why he’s now wondering whether calling his wife self-centered really did make him a jerk and if he should just say he’s sorry.
How would you feel if your ex-wife badmouthed your new marriage and soon-to-be mother of your child? Was he in the wrong for calling his ex out? Would you apologize or not?
