A man who was cheated on by his girlfriend has been left gobsmacked when she came to him with an ‘entitled’ demand – as she asked him to support her and her new boyfriend
Once you’ve ended a relationship, you shouldn’t expect your ex to do anything for you.
Normally, when two people decide their relationship isn’t working, they separate and don’t speak to each other again. There are instances where you might remain friends with your former partner, but for the most part, breakups are tough – especially if you dump your partner after finding out they did something unforgivable, such as cheating on you.
That’s exactly what happened to one man who recently found out his girlfriend of 11 years had been cheating on him with another man. He broke up with her, but instead of leaving him alone, his girlfriend – who is now in a relationship with the other bloke – came to him with an outlandish request to “continue paying her bills”.
The man explained on Reddit that he isn’t “rich” but was able to provide for his girlfriend by paying her bills, taking her on dates every weekend, and planning a few holidays each year. But now that the couple have split, she has claimed he should be the one to move out of his own home so that she can live there with her new boyfriend – but he should keep paying all the bills that go with the house.
He said: “She said because I had family in the area and she didn’t, I should move out but continue paying the bills to give her and the new guy a chance to get on their feet. She also insisted on keeping my dogs and told me I could only see my own dogs if I asked the new guy. But since they didn’t have any money, I needed to continue paying for food and vet bills. Instead, I kicked her out and kept my dogs.”
His ex-girlfriend then even attempted to “sue” the man for lost wages after she was forced to switch jobs because she’d had to move house. And when that didn’t work, she contacted members of his family to ask them to send her money instead.
He added: “She started messaging every family member of mine that she could find. Told them I cost her everything out of spite just because she moved on with someone else, and that the least they could do is send her money to help her get a place and pay rent.
“I don’t understand how she doesn’t understand that any financial support I gave her would end if she cheated on me. We weren’t married. We don’t have kids. I’ve supported her for years. I owe her nothing. I really don’t owe it to her to help her and her new relationship get on their feet and establish themselves. Which seems to come as a shock to her.”
Commenters on the man’s post were gobsmacked by the woman’s outlandish request, as many of them told the man to block all contact with her and refuse to give into any of her demands.
One person said: “Time to block her on everything. Talk to your family and have them block her on all social platforms as well. She wanted to move on with someone else, now it’s time to put on her big girl pants and pay for her own life.”
And another added: “She really thought that once your relationship with her ended, you would continue to fund her lifestyle. You felt massively disrespected and hurt by her. To me, it sounds like she was only with you for your money, not for who you are.”
