Reality check. A family plan isn’t a lifetime achievement award, it’s a discount owned by the person who pays the bill. If someone’s no longer family, no longer paying, and blocking the spouse from joining, keeping them on isn’t kindness, it’s a quiet subsidy. The oldest brother gets it: clean the hooks, align the plan to the actual family, and stop letting fear of a blowup run the budget. The fix stays simple and boring. Send a neutral heads‑up that access changed, suggest her own account or a plan she controls, and if the middle brother wants to float her temporarily, he can do it on his card, not the administrator’s. This is housekeeping, not hostility, and it keeps merged finances tidy.
‘He feels like she “deserves” to stay on the plan because they were together for a long time’: Newlyweds remove brother’s ex from a four-seat family Spotify plan after she freeloads for a year and a half after their divorce
A freshly married couple sits down to clean up bills and finds a hitch in the family Spotify math. The plan has four seats, the husband pays the annual bill, the brothers reimburse, and one extra spot went to the middle brother's wife back when they were together.
Fast forward a year and a half post‑divorce, she never paid back this year's renewal, and the new spouse can't be added because the ex is still sitting in the chair. So the admin does what admins do: removes the ex, adds the spouse, and tells the middle brother to pass the message along through the same lawyer‑approved channel everyone agreed to during the divorce. Cue the argument. The middle brother is mad because now he has to poke the bear, says she "deserves" the slot since she was around for years, and insists this was just to save a buck.
