His Ex-Wife Cheated While He Was Deployed, So Now He’s Refusing To Pay For Her Storage Unit
A while ago, this 34-year-old man was deployed. Two weeks before he returned home, he learned that his wife had been cheating on him.
Over the last 12 years of their marriage, his wife brought up the fact that she wanted to file for divorce about once a week.
They have talked about divorcing numerous times in the past but never took any steps to start the process.
When he got back from his deployment, he no longer had a job, home, or car, and he barely had any money.
He spent the last of his money to rent a car so that he could see his children for five days.
After that, he moved back in with his family, who lived a few states away from his ex-wife and children.
As he and his now ex-wife were going through the process of divorcing, she started dating someone new, and neither she nor her boyfriend were employed or had any money.
Their divorce was non-contested, and they agreed to 50/50 custody and no child support requirements.
He doesn’t have a job yet, but he is waiting on a couple of paychecks that he should be getting from his recent deployment.

Several months ago, his now ex-wife had asked him to pay for a storage unit she needed.
He only agreed to do so because he was concerned that she wouldn’t allow him to see their children.
“She has threatened me with court and by saying she wouldn’t play nice anymore if I don’t pay,” he said.
He doesn’t have anything in the storage unit, but due to non-payment, the storage unit will be auctioned off in the middle of December.
“We fell behind a few months (some of her “adventures” were more important than paying bills),” he explained.
She asked him to make the full payment they owed on the storage unit so that she could get some of her late father’s belongings, but he refused to do so.
Multiple times throughout their marriage, his wife was the source of many of his financial, mental, and emotional struggles.
“I support my children financially with anything they need as much as I’m able,” he shared.
He also sends his ex-wife money for necessities whenever possible.
