Friend and her ex

So friend tells me she has told her ex to pay for car repairs of her car as it’s for their kids benefit. I not said anything but surely they no longer live together he pays child maintenance as his own rent and car to pay they are financially independent so why she expects ex to pay her car repairs I don’t see why she should expect this

Why does it bother you?

Has she form for taking liberties? Are you starting to wonder if she is not a very nice person?

Or does this stem from jealousy on your part that she has a good relationship with an ex/'gets things in life for free?'

Don’t bother me couldn’t careless not my life I just found it odd that friend expects her ex to pay her car repairs. She only tells me today as her ex said not his problem and she was moaning about him I divorced and never expected my ex to pay my car rep nor he of me

She's a chancer. Not his car, not his responsibility.

OP, can you stick some punctuation in?

What is the point of this thread?

I absolutely despise people like this op!

My ex has paid for repairs on my car but that's because he doesn't drive and the car is very much for his son's benefit. Didn't ask him to, and wouldn't expect it but he's offered a couple times.

If it doesn’t bother you and you couldn’t care less, why post about it?

Your friend sounds like she’s taking the piss.
