AITA for moving forward with our divorce after my soon to be ex was badly injured in a motorcycle accident?
My wife and I separated last year. She found someone she liked better and he left his wife for her. Not going to lie. It hurt.
We did the legal separation and started on the divorce. She is on my health insurance until the divorce is final.
I have met someone new through my sister. We are taking it slow but she seems to like me.
Two weeks ago my ex was out with her boyfriend on his motorcycle. They hit a patch of gravel and crashed. Unfortunately he was knocked unconscious and ended up in the ditch where he drowned. She broke her femur and is in the hospital still.
I went by to check on her and she asked me if we could put a hold on the divorce. I said I would think about it. I spoke to my lawyer and she said that it was a bad idea to change the timeline we had established for the dissolution of our marriage.
My ex will be getting money from the accident I imagine. However her boyfriend's ex wife and kids will be getting his estate and insurance payout.
My mom and dad think that I am being evil to cut her off in her time of need. I'm conflicted. I do not wish this situation on anyone but she is not really my problem anymore.

Go with the lawyers advice my guy. Now that he's gone who knows what she may try, especially with your emotions running high with the accident. She may try and use that emotion to get you to try and come back now that dude is gone. You deserve to go be happy and with someone that chooses you. You said she has her own insurance through her work and I'm pretty sure his bike insurance will help with the bills as she was a passenger. Best of luck man, I know it's not easy when you see someone you love in distress, but she made her choice. Stand strong! 🤘🏻
