Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Divorce, as common as it is, is incredibly painful for all parties involved. They say that there's no bigger source of unhappiness than a divorce. It isn't just the splitting of romantic love, it's the asunder of two lives that are so intermingled, so encapsulated in each other, that to tear these tethered souls it takes years of logistic, legal, and emotional work to get over it. From separating finances, bank accounts, and material items, to the complications of friend ground, families, in-laws, and children, it's not an experience I'd wish on my worst enemy.
In this Reddit thread, it's about a messy divorce. In this story, the original poster (OP) is a woman who's been through a divorce, albeit decades ago. Her ex-husband has refused to pay his child support for all these years, as he's never held down a stable job or had the funds to provide for his daughter. After all these years, and his sudden ability to pay, and so he will.
