One girl found herself in a worrying situation when an ex who mistreated her realized he wanted her back, and he started stalking her to get what he wanted! When she realized he was sending her free money to win her back, the girl and her new boyfriend saw it as a business opportunity and gladly received the money while the girl pretended she was single.
Igniting a Flame
Jess found herself entangled in a long-distance romance with Ross, who worked as a hotel engineer.
Financial Security Was a Bonus
His job took him to various places, and although it provided financial security, that wasn’t the main reason she was drawn to him.
Controlling Behaviour Keeps Her From His Family and Friends
Jess never had the chance to visit Ross’s hometown, as he disturbingly insisted on keeping her away from his family.
Meeting his friends seemed impossible, as he claimed they only existed in the online world.
Long Distance Broke the Couple Down
Jess and Ross managed to meet only a few times each month during their roughly 8 or 9-month journey.
His communication started to decline, leaving Jess feeling neglected.
He Put in No Effort Before the Worst Happened
Despite her efforts to talk, Ross constantly blamed his work and refused to put in the effort.
Breaking Up Over the Phone
After just one argument, he abruptly broke up with her over the phone, disappearing from her life for a month.
Drunken Night Offers Glimmer of Hope
Ross randomly showed up one night, driven by alcohol, and Jess knew it was just a drunken booty call.
They decided to give their relationship another chance, but once again, it didn’t work out.
She ended things because she wasn’t attracted to him anymore.

His determination to remain in her life was becoming stalker-like.
She Took Money From Her Stalker!
In a surprising turn of events, Ross began giving Jess money, hoping to win her favor.
Sly Move or Financial Opportunity?
Noticing an opportunity, Jess played along, pretending to be single to reap financial benefits.
Her current boyfriend was unbothered by this arrangement, considering it free money, though some of his friends disapproved.
Exploiting Her Manipulative Ex
In an ironic twist, Jess found herself exploiting him this time around.
He was desperate for her attention, and she took advantage of this.

If he wanted to willingly send her free money, she saw no reason to refuse.
She’s now wondering from Reddit if she was making the right choice throughout her time receiving money, and they didn’t hold back!
She’s Stringing Him Along
One user felt very strongly about the situation, “You feel he strung you along during your few months of a relationship but now that’s what you’re doing to him. It’s wrong to use people. Be a better person and maintain some self-respect by not using a man for money.”
Other users were more forgiving saying they would do the same, “He wouldn’t leave you alone, if I’m constantly being pestered by an ex I’m going to end up taking advantage of it.”
