He Wouldn’t Give His Daughter Any Money To Buy His Ex-Wife A Birthday Gift Because She Cheated On Him, And He Doesn’t Love Her Anymore
This man and his ex-wife have been divorced for two years, ever since she sadly cheated on him. He was left devastated by the infidelity, and it took both therapy and time to finally get over it.
However, he and his ex had a daughter together – who is now 14 – so they are still involved in each other’s lives. His daughter also happens to be very close to her mom.
“We haven’t told her about why we divorced, and I haven’t badmouthed her mom because it would hurt her, and I don’t want to ruin their close bond,” he said.
Nonetheless, when it was recently his ex-wife’s birthday, he refused to give his daughter any money to buy her a present.
For some context, his daughter always gets $100 from him every month as her allowance, which she is allowed to use on whatever she wants.
He provides her with the funds on the first day of every month, and he advises her to spend it wisely.
Yet, when her mom’s birthday rolled around just yesterday, his daughter only had a measly $8 left.
“She really wanted to give a bigger gift to her mom and asked if I could give her the September allowance then so she could buy her mom a gift,” he recalled.
He would not do that, though, and had a conversation with his daughter. He pointed out how she knew her mom’s birthday was coming up and claimed she should’ve planned for it in advance.

This made the teen really upset, and she was only able to buy some flowers for her mom on her birthday.
The following day, his daughter also asked him why he wouldn’t just give her some extra cash after he spent “so much” on his own sister’s birthday gift.
Apparently, his sister’s birthday was only a week before his ex-wife’s, and he invited her over for a celebration. He ordered in food for his sister from a nice restaurant and gifted her a Chanel handbag.
“Overall, we had a blast, but my daughter was a bit miffed because I did that much for my sister and couldn’t even spare her some money for her mom’s birthday,” he detailed.
His daughter’s question pushed him to be completely honest with her. He admitted that he simply doesn’t love his ex-wife – her mother – anymore.
“And that was the only answer to it. I told her my sister would always be my family, but her mom is not my family anymore,” he revealed.
What he said made his daughter quite sad, but she didn’t have anything else to say on the topic.
Now, he’s unsure if refusing to give his daughter money for the birthday gift was reasonable or a jerky move.
Should he have let his daughter have an advance on her allowance or not? What would you have done?
