A concerned woman spoke out and asked for advice after realizing her husband used her to get back at his ex.
Speaking out on Reddit, the woman in question revealed how her husband shares a 9-year-old son with his ex-wife. She also claimed the former lovers are on extremely bad terms and “hate each other’s guts” after a bitter divorce.
While the disputes between the man and his former partner are usually managed in an orderly fashion, things got out of hand after the woman’s partner decided to use her out of spite to get back at his ex.
As the woman explained, her husband found out that his ex and her new husband were planning a romantic getaway without including the boy in their trip.
“The current problem started when he found out that his ex wife planned to go on vacation without their son – my stepson,” the woman wrote.
“Why? because her new husband didn’t want the son to go – probably because it’s a romantic getaway.”
She went on to reveal that her husband initially protested this idea before agreeing that the boy could stay with them while his ex and her new husband are off.
While everything looked good for a while, the husband was secretly forging a spiteful plan to “get back” at his ex for going on a trip with her new husband without her son.
“All was good until I found out that my husband had booked tickets for a vacation to the same place his ex and her new husband were going, same hotel, same everything,” the man’s wife added.
“I was confused. I asked him about it and he said he did this to spite his ex and show her she can’t exclude his son from a vacation and prove who the better parent is.
“He told me he’s ‘arranged for everything’ and all I had to do was take time off work and take his son and go.”
To make matters even worse for his wife, the man told her she should go on the trip alone with his son.
“He ranted about how busy he was, saying otherwise he would’ve ‘taken care of this himself’ but was sending me instead,” the distressed woman claimed.
“I yelled saying I’ve got a lot on my plate. I work full time, I take care of my cancer-stricken mom, I clean, cook and take care of my stepson on top of that.
“He flipped his s*** on me then told his son that I just said no to a fun vacation for my stepson, funded by his dad. I told him to stop it because I have commitments and won’t risk losing my job over an unexpected vacation and for what?”
Following their argument, the bitter husband allegedly accused his wife of wasting the time and money he put into planning the vacation for her and his son.
The man also told the boy that it was his stepmother’s fault that the vacation got canceled before telling his wife that his son “will hate me for this forever.”
After asking the internet for much-needed advice, the woman was urged to pack her things and get as far away from her spiteful husband as possible.
“You are married to a man who hasn’t gotten over his ex wife, and is willing to hurt his son for some toxic payback. This will not end well. Run,” one person suggested.
“You are not his puppet and if you don’t want to be his flying monkey and provide harassment/stalking via proxy services for your spouse, good on you! No reasonable person is interested in that. This man is loony,” another said.
