Well that bites, truly. I'd be annoyed and angry too.

He sounds like a loser.

NP. I think what probably stings is the moving on so fast. The settlement is just the icing. OPs feelings are valid. Her ezDH sounds like a winner. Be glad he’s out of your life. May 2020 be your best year!

OP - Don't know and don't care. But I was told that he used money from his divorce settlement. He may have tossed in a dime of his own.

So your ex never held a job or contributed a penny during your marriage?

+1. That's the part that doesn't make any sense. Say the ring was $10K, even if OP was the higher earner did he really not have $10K of his own earnings in the marital pot?

Yes that is what she is saying. He had no savings. How is that so hard to understand.

You guys are mixing issues. It was a throw away comment OP made about it being her money, multiple times she has acknowledged it isn’t REALLY her money. So let that whole silly sideline discussion die. No one is arguing this. Literally no one.

Some of you are way too pedantic and make people feel uncomfortable posting without stressing out about things being taking out of context.

What stings is that you had to pay him money!!!!!

She should not post things she does not want discussed. Leave it out next time, OP, if you really don't care about it.

No she didn’t, she just didn’t get to keep all of the marital assets, which she undoubtedly felt entitled to since he cheated.

Hmmm. The way I see this is- imagine being a mistress and your partner has to use his ex’s money for ring! One day she’ll wake up and say, “and he couldn’t even buy me a ring.”
She might always look at that ring and think of you!
It’s really sad.

You got the better end of the deal OP!

$5 says OP’s ex was the breadwinner in their household.

Doesn’t really matter. Look I’d be drinking wine and laughing at those two. Shot gun wedding, baby. Let me know how that works out.
