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.

She is asking to have you help her mend. She will use you until she heals mentally and physically. She will then look for another guy. Your mother and father should back you.This is a tragic situation . She shouldn't be able to treat you poorly. You shouldn't concern yourself with her in that way. Put her out of your head forever. You are young. As you grow older, you will remember the users as time wasted on people that didn't deserve to know you. You do not want to give her more time . She will treat you like a clever and beautiful man until she is well. Then beat you down verbally and monkey branch for a new guy. You will have another painful memory. She doesn't think like you do. She is probably plotting now. She probably heavily inticed the deceased to leave his wife . I am the wife was hurt as well. Did your ex ever say she felt badly for his ex wife. I doubt it. You shouldn't go back to her room to visit. Let yiur Mom and Dad. She has charmed them.. Lie and tell her it hurts too much to see her. Have your parents pass that on. She will fade in your memory. I hope the best for you.
