A woman posted on reddit that her ex-husband cheated on her and paid a fair amount for his act. Few days later his current partner berates her for taking their money and called her a thief. The divorce was civil. He apologized, and they split assets evenly: she got half his fortune, a silent partnership in his company, the apartment, and the lake house. She didn’t need the money—she has a successful career—but accepted it, including the extra properties he gave her as an apology.
Now, his girlfriend—the same one from the affair—messaged her on LinkedIn. She’s pregnant and upset. According to her, he refuses to marry or move in with her, and she blames the ex-wife, saying she “took everything” and ruined her baby’s chance at a family. She accused her of being a thief who exploited guilt.
Conflicted, she considered three responses: telling the girlfriend off, forwarding the message to her ex, or just ignoring and blocking her.
