Her Boyfriend Still Sends Up To $1,000 To His Ex-Wife Each Month, Even Though His Ex Is Engaged And He Isn’t Required To
This woman’s boyfriend got divorced a few years ago because his ex-wife was reportedly emotionally abusive and an alcoholic.
However, his boyfriend still remained friendly with his ex, even after the separation. On top of that, they continued sleeping together from time to time until she met him, and they began dating.
The real kicker? Her boyfriend’s ex was actually engaged the entire time he was still hooking up with her.
“And my boyfriend also sends money to his ex monthly– of his own volition, not court-ordered– even though she is engaged,” she revealed.
According to her, it’s not like her boyfriend’s ex-wife needs the money, either. Apparently, the ex’s new fiancé actually makes a generous salary since he has the same career as her boyfriend. They are both software engineers.
Regardless, her boyfriend has told her that his ex’s fiancé actually knows about both the hookups and the money, yet isn’t upset about it for some reason.
“But I have a hard time believing this,” she said. Wouldn’t anyone?
She also tried to get to the bottom of why her boyfriend felt the need to continue financially supporting his ex-wife, and he gave her two reasons.
First of all, her boyfriend pointed out how his ex helped him land his current job while they were still married. Secondly, he claimed that his ex’s new fiancé doesn’t share any of his money with his ex.

“I don’t know how much he sends her,” she explained, “But I’m guessing it is between $500 and $1,000 a month.”
And honestly, it just doesn’t sit right with her. After all, she and her boyfriend are trying to save up for a house right now. However, it feels like they will never hit the goal of owning a home together if her boyfriend is constantly sending his ex so much money.
That’s why she really wants to ask him to stop sending the funds. But, she’s unsure if asking him to do that, and thinking it’s weird that he sends money to his engaged ex-wife in the first place, is justified or not.
Do you agree that her boyfriend continuing to send money to his now-engaged ex-wife is strange? Do you think there might be more going on there? How would you feel in her shoes? Would you be able to stay in this relationship?
