Would you take your ex in, if the only other option was being homeless

If you have an ex that left you but they then fell on hard times and literally the only option was to sleep at yours or they sleep in their car (realistically this would be reasonably long term)

Would you let them sleep at yours until they are back on their feet

(The council were contacted and no realistic opinions were provided)

The ex was really nasty during the divorce, saying lies all over social media, argued with all of your family and has also been quite nasty since the divorce

Though if nothing is expected of them (such as helping to tidy up), will be quite and enjoys spending time with the kids

Not in a hundred years. Shame he didn’t show you the same empathy you’re extending to him. He sounds a horrible nasty prick who has made his bed (or car!) and can now lie in it 👋🏼

Absolutely not. He should have thought about that before he cheated.

No. Nice to you when it suits.

No way.

Not sure which way round the poll is but my answer is a massive, emphatic NO.

You said he was nasty, sorry but why does he deserve your kindness?? Not being horrible, but this is his karma. Don’t put yourself in a vulnerable situation, it’s not your business to do anything involving him anymore. Not your circus, not your monkeys
