My ex-boyfriend left me his $700,000 estate when he died – and his pregnant wife is furious because she got nothing

A woman was left stunned after inheriting her late ex-boyfriend’s estate worth a whopping $700,000, while his pregnant wife received nothing.

The couple was together for 20 years, never married and remained child-free, but separated when she found out he was cheating on her with his current wife.

While dating her current boyfriend for a year, she got pregnant and her ex would sometimes text but never reply.

After the man committed suicide, the woman received a call from a lawyer explaining that he had left “everything” in her name, sparking an argument with his wife.

On Reddit, the woman sought advice on how to navigate the situation, asking if she was wrong for wanting to keep everything.

‘I found out he was cheating on me three years ago and I left him. Six months later I found out they were married,” the woman wrote.

‘I found out a year into dating that I was pregnant by my current boyfriend and even though we still weren’t ‘there’ in the relationship, we thought we could make it happen and sure enough, we are very happy and loving of our relationship. small family very much.’

She explained that her ex kept texting on important occasions like birthdays and holidays, but she never responded.

“When he found out about my daughter, he sent me a long and hurtful text saying I was cheating on him, and he never texted me again,” she continued.

‘A few months later my ex took his own life. His wife is apparently going into labor any minute. I was suprised.’

She was then contacted by a lawyer who explained that she had been bequeathed ‘everything’, apart from a few items left to his parents and cousin.

“I received a letter from him apologizing for what he did and saying he loved me and wished me and my family happiness and that he wanted to help,” the woman continued.

‘Now his wife and parents are very angry and demand that I leave everything to them. Don’t know.

“Would I be the asshole if I kept it because that’s what I actually want and what he wanted?” she said.

The Reddit thread quickly attracted the attention of more than 21,000 people, with many suggesting they hire a lawyer. Others give sound advice.

One said: ‘He gave it to you. He clearly intended to do so. When it comes to whether you deserve it, it’s hard to understand why you deserve it less than your wife and parents.

‘You clearly meant something to him, he shared your life for years. I don’t think you have anything to feel bad about.’

Another added: ‘I think he passed with regret and wanted to make amends. And I feel like he knew his unborn child wasn’t his and the discovery that you were moving on was a turning point.

“He left that money to you of his own accord, for a reason… He was with you for twenty years and chose to honor that time together.”

A third wrote: ‘This is one of those situations where it’s really best not to make decisions quickly. There is too much emotion. This is not the time to rush into a decision that you will have to live with for the rest of your life.

“Consult a lawyer and/or an accountant about ways you can secure the money where it is safe in the first place.”
