I Refused to Give My Ex-wife Money for Food for Her and Our Kids as I Discovered Her True Intentions

Amidst a plea for assistance from his ex-wife, a divorced father’s offer of sustenance took an unexpected turn. Little did he anticipate that a simple act of generosity would become entangled in accusations, revealing a clash of intentions that left him grappling with perceptions and principles. In November 2023, an anonymous male poster shared his story on the “AITA” subreddit. He revealed that he and his ex-wife had divorced when their kids, now 15 and 12, were young, and after seven years of separation with 50/50 custody, his ex had remarried, ending any spousal support,

Around the time OP shared his story online, his ex-wife faced another challenge when her most recent husband left her. Indifferent to the specifics of their breakup, OP found himself uninterested in the details. Despite the circumstances, he acknowledged that the departing husband didn’t strike him as a terrible person and left their house to his now-struggling ex-wife. However,

OP remained oblivious to the financial intricacies. The situation took an unexpected turn when she called him last week, desperately seeking assistance with food. She explained that she had exhausted her budget for herself and the kids. Agreeing to consider the request, OP asked for a moment to think before calling her back.The fallout escalated with some siding against him, criticizing him for not providing the help she sought. After a chat with his live-in girlfriend,

OP, armed with a freezer full of elk, venison, wild hog, and a pantry stocked with beef, pork, and chicken, decided to lend a hand. Things took an unexpected twist when he called his ex-wife and offered her a sizable haul of groceries. Instead of accepting the offer, she threw a curveball, requesting cash to order food. Holding his ground, OP firmly declined the request, asserting that he had two weeks’ worth of food ready for her, but cash for takeout was off the table. Accused of expecting gratitude for what she deemed “scraps,” OP found himself labeled by his ex-wife. Unfazed, he clarified his intent, emphasizing the abundance of frozen meat, canned veggies, and fresh garden produce, and he planned to offer unopened pasta and rice bags. OP stood firm and motivated by a desire for his kids to eat well, especially given their inclination for hunting and his older son’s culinary skills.
