His Soon-To-Be Ex-Wife Got Into A Motorcycle Accident And Lost Her Boyfriend, So She Asked To Put Their Divorce On Hold, But He Doesn’t Think That She’s His Problem Anymore
This man was previously married, but just last year, he and his ex-wife decided to separate.
Apparently, his ex had found another guy who she “liked better.” And even though that other guy was already married, the guy actually left his wife to be with his ex.
“I’m not going to lie, it hurt,” he said.
So, he and his ex-wife proceeded to get a legal separation. Then, they began filing for divorce, and she is still on his health insurance until their divorce is finalized.
In the meantime, he has also started to try and move on. He actually met a new woman through his sister and has been seeing where his new relationship goes.
“We are taking it slow, but she seems to like me,” he explained.
Just two weeks ago, though, he was hit with some shocking news. While riding on her boyfriend’s motorcycle, his ex-wife actually got into an accident. The pair actually hit a gravel patch and crashed on the bike.
“Unfortunately, he [his ex’s boyfriend] was knocked unconscious and ended up in the ditch, where he drowned,” he revealed.
“She broke her femur and is in the hospital still.”

After hearing about the accident, he went to the hospital to check on his ex-wife, too. But, to his surprise, she wound up asking if they could put their divorce “on hold.”
At the time, he just said he would think about it. Then, he consulted his lawyer, who claimed it would be a bad idea to change the timeline they’d already established for the dissolution of their marriage.
Now, he knows that his ex-wife will likely get some money from the accident. However, she will not be getting her boyfriend’s estate and insurance payout. Rather, that will be going to his ex’s boyfriend’s ex-wife and children.
So, both his mom and dad have actually called him “evil” for even considering cutting his ex-wife off during her time of need.
“I’m conflicted,” he vented, “I do not wish this situation on anyone, but she is not really my problem anymore.”
Still, ever since getting pushback from his parents, he can’t help but wonder if moving forward with his divorce in the wake of his ex-wife’s motorcycle accident is really the wrong thing to do.
Do you think he’s “evil” for wanting to proceed with the divorce? Or can you understand his feelings on the situation? What would you do in his shoes?
