    Font - Recently a friend of mine (Anthony edit:31) and his wife (Carly edit:29) went through a pretty nasty divorce. They had a child together about 1.5+ years ago and things just weren't working between them: there were some issues with attraction, he felt it was getting monotonous, he was interested in pursuing other relationships (and ending up finding a spark with a then coworker who's now his gf), and the whole thing was just a mess. She did end up getting child support

    Font - I didn't think we would be seeing much more of her since she's my friend's wife who we weren't particularly close with, and there's no real reason why we would need to have any more contact than him given that she was his wife. However, my girlfriend has been getting together and commiserating with her for some reason, and now their conflict, which I have deliberately kept away from, is now bleeding into my life too.

    Font - My GF keeps bringing up how unfair what my friend did was, how he's barely paying anything while they struggle, etc. etc. despite me saying that it's none of our business repeatedly. Shes constantly passive aggressive towards Anthony even though he hasn't done anything to her. She's even brought Carly over while me and Anthony were hanging out saying she's her friend and she's allowed to have guests. As you can

    Font - guess this has led to some heated arguments. She's glad to know he's having fun eating edibles and playing video games with children (yes, she even referred to me and our other friend as children to our face - we're both 22) while she's exhausted taking care of their child alone, etc..

    Font - Now keep in mind this is MY house. My parents gifted me this condo when I graduated, and I pay all the utility bills. I'm letting my GF stay here because her roommate didn't want to renew the lease. She's trying to frame this like I'm "not letting her see her friends", which is absurd. She's clearly 100% in the wrong here, right? AITA or is she for trying to bring this woman into our home?

    Font - thequejos 2 days ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [36] So, your friend dumped his wife when life got 'monotonous' after the birth of his child. He fought hard to make sure that she (and his child) got the minimum of what he had to pay them.

    Font - Your gf thought this stunk and isn't afraid to say so while you go hang out with your bro. YTA Find better friends and learn about how to stand up for what's right from your girlfriend. Gentle YTA to girlfriend because she shouldn't bring ex over while a-hole is actually there. That is not always a safe move.

    Font - Thatstealthygal . 2 days ago Partassipant [1] Can we remember this is not just about cheating. This is about OP's friend doing his utmost to avoid any financial responsibility for his own actual child after breaking up with its mother to be with his affair partner.

    Font - RavenLunatyk. 2 days ago The friend abandoned his wife and child for another woman and left them practically destitute. OPS GF is empathetic, reaching out and befriending her. OP doesn't like it because it puts a damper on his bro time. YTA. Your friend is a bigger AH and your GF WBTA if she doesn't see you for the putz you are. (I hope this doesn't get me in trouble with the moderator- I am not saying to be malicious).
