Man Tells Ex-Wife To Stop Showing Off In Front Of His Kids

The user remarried a year after divorcing his ex-wife, with whom he had two sons. After remarrying, he had three daughters. He also shares that his ex never remarried, but reveals that she started her own profitable business.

The ex-wife now makes a lot more money than OP, who is the sole provider for his daughters with his new wife. As a result, the ex can afford nice gifts and vacations for her sons, which OP cannot afford for his daughters. When the sons are over, they talk about all the trips they go on, including plans for an upcoming Disney cruise vacation. OP is upset because it makes his daughters jealous.

OP texted his ex to ask her to stop showing off and flaunting her wealth, but the ex responded that he and his new wife aren't on her mind when she spends her money. Now, he's asking if he's wrong for thinking that his ex-wife is spiteful.

It appears to a lot of commenters that OP is the one who is spiteful, as he pointed out how his ex-wife is still single and didn't end up having any more kids.

Many point out that OP divorced his ex 10 years ago, and also has a 10-year-old son. Meanwhile, his oldest daughter with his new wife is 9 years old. Because the ages are suspiciously close, users wonder if there's more to the story than OP has shared.

Commenters agree that it was fine for OP to ask his sons not to show off in front of his daughters, but it has little to do with his ex-wife. She's free to do what she pleases, and how she provides for her sons has nothing to do with his daughters.
