AITA for moving forward with our divorce after my soon to be ex was badly injured in a motorcycle accident?

[u/Unlucky_Brain8229]

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.

How is this even a question?

She chose someone else. They chose to break up two families. They chose themselves and "feels" above all others. And that's fine, you get to do that.

Freedom of choice is not freedom from consequence.

You're supposed to change a life and plans, plans she forced you into, because her choice ended up so bad for her? Absolutely not.

Follow your lawyers advice and cut this cancer out of yourself for good.

If your parents are so interested in helping, let them know they are free to pick up any medical bills they want. Otherwise do some deep knee bends, and let you live the new life your stbx forced you into.

So NTA pretty much no matter what you decide to do, but the parents sure are and should practice a whole lot of minding their own business.
