After Hearing His Cheating Ex-Wife Was In A Car Accident, He Said He Wouldn’t Visit Her And Didn’t Care About Her Anymore
Sometimes, an ex hurts you so badly that you feel you could never see them again, if you can help it, at least.
One man recently caused a scene when he told his former in-laws that he refused to see his injured ex-wife in the hospital because she cheated on him and broke his heart.
He was previously married to his ex-wife, Mary, for two years. They had been together for seven years in total.
Two years into their marriage, they wanted to start trying to have a baby, but he was destroyed when he caught Mary cheating on him.
Cheating on him was the utmost dealbreaker, so he immediately filed for divorce despite Mary’s protests. She wanted to try couples therapy and begged him for forgiveness. She even began breaking down and crying in divorce court.
Because they had a prenup, their divorce happened quickly, and once he had everything he had started with before their marriage, he started down the path of moving on.
“When the divorce was finalized, I changed my number and house to avoid unnecessary and useless drama,” he said.
“Three years have passed, and I’m still trying to recover because it really [hurt] me, and I really loved her. Unfortunately, cheating is one of the few things I [could] never forgive anyone [for], but thanks to my therapist, I’m slowly recovering and getting better.”
He hadn’t heard anything from or about Mary for a long time, until recently, when he ran into her parents at the supermarket. They told him Mary was in a very bad car accident and was in critical condition at the hospital.

“They said it would be nice if I [went] to visit her at the hospital despite what happened between us,” he recalled.
“Mary was always an important part of my life, and I told them I would never go to ‘visit’ her because Mary wasn’t my problem anymore, and I didn’t have to do anything for her. We started arguing, and I clearly told them that I [didn’t care] about Mary, her life, and what she was doing because she cheated on me [and broke] my trust. They always justified her cheating.”
He and Mary’s parents argued back and forth for a while in the store before he had to walk away. A few days later, he found out her parents called him to tell them what he said, and while most of his relatives agree with him, his mom feels he’s acting like a jerk for refusing to visit Mary or wish her well.
Was he wrong to say those things to Mary’s parents?
