Finding closure after a divorce is not easy, especially when it comes to dealing with reminders from our past. But what happens when your ex-husband accidentally sends you a large sum of money? This is the unexpected situation our reader found herself in, and she made a decision that surprised both herself and her ex.
Late one night, our reader discovered that her ex-husband had mistakenly transferred a significant amount of money to her. To her surprise, she also found over a hundred missed calls and messages from him, desperately pleading for her to return the money. Initially, her instinct was to send it back immediately, but then she remembered something important.
You see, our reader had previously lent her ex-husband money in the past, and despite his promises, he had never repaid her. This debt had lingered, causing frustration and resentment. So when the accidental windfall arrived, she hesitated. Instead of returning the money, she decided to consider it repayment for the unpaid debt.
With a sense of satisfaction, she sent him a message saying, “Thanks, now you don’t owe me anything!” and promptly blocked him. Little did she know that this decision would have unexpected consequences.
Not too long after, she unexpectedly crossed paths with her ex-husband. To her surprise, he threatened to take legal action against her for keeping the money. This encounter served as a harsh reminder of the challenges that can arise when dealing with financial matters after a divorce.
In the end, our reader made a choice that resonated with her and provided some closure. While it may not be the path everyone would choose, it demonstrated her determination to find a silver lining in an otherwise difficult situation. Sometimes, unexpected gifts from our past can lead us towards a brighter future.
