Dear Abby: My husband bailed out his bankrupt ex-wife and didnt tell me
DEAR ABBY: My husband is still in contact with his ex-wife.He gave her a huge divorce settlement because he felt guilty.She supported him financially through medical school, and he feels he needs to help her out every time she needs money. The last time, she didn’t ask for it, but he had heard from his sister that she had declared bankruptcy, so he gave her a huge amount of money.When he told me wanted to do it, I said no.
If it were for a medical reason, I would have agreed, but it’s not.A few days went by, and when I asked if he was still bouncing around the idea, he said he had gone to her house and given her a check. He knows this bothered me a lot.
He gave me three options: I could be happy that we could help her, he would give me the same amount of money or I could get a divorce.How do you like those apples?I love my husband, but he is “too good” to people.
He gives me anything I ask for (which I don’t), but this time I just don’t know.He did tell me he loved me but “had” to help her.

If what I need is on the east side of the store, I enter and exit via the closest door. Since the expansion and upgrade, they now allow shoppers to enter only through one door and exit through the other.They will soon install gates to prevent shoppers from using the “wrong” door.I have an injury and will be having surgery soon.
Walking through the entire store to pick up a couple of ite...
