The woman is refusing to pay her husband’s kids’ tuition, and she is being called selfish by him.
She explains that she has two of her own kids from her previous marriage. Meanwhile, her husband has four of his own children along with two other non-biological children from his wife’s first relationship that he helps raise. Her post begins by saying that her husband, before COVID, was making twice her salary. “His job made cuts, and unfortunately his was one of them,” she says, but now she is making more after a recent promotion. Her husband’s ex-wife, however, thinks they are competing saying, RELATED: Dad Wonders If He’s Wrong To Demand His Estranged Daughter Pay Him Back The Child Support He Paid For Her “We moved to a bigger house, so she moved to a bigger house within the same year. We got another vehicle, and she got another vehicle. I thought maybe I was tripping that, that’s not what she was doing, but that’s exactly what’s going on.” The woman also mentions that she has children of her own with a previous husband. He initially agreed to cover their kids’ private school tuition but that arrangement fell through. She now covers her kids’ tuition herself and somehow, word got back to her husband’s ex-wife. So now she is demanding her kids get their tuition covered by her too.

Her husband is already in debt for taking out college loans for his other two non-biological children and she has said that her husband has mismanaged his money all to please his ex-wife.
Is she the A-hole for refusing? No, she is not.
Many have supported the woman saying she is (NTA) “Not the A-hole” because this is not her concern and that he and his ex-wife need to figure it out for themselves. “This is not your concern. Your husband and his ex need to figure this out.” One user wrote which many agree. Another user spoke saying she was NTA and that the husband should have planned ahead. Some are asking why she is with this individual if he is in debt and expecting his wife to pay for tuition. The woman said, however, his pride got the better of him but she has straightened him out putting him on a budget.
