Ex-husband Leaves Woman Penniless, Years Later She Tips Him $1 – Story of the Day

A woman is left penniless by her conniving ex-husband, then years later, she sees him working as a parking valet at a restaurant.

Jenny Carlson was 45 and she had been married for twenty-seven years. Most of those years had been happy, raising her children. That was back when Jenny believed her husband loved her.

But Brad had changed. While Jenny had dedicated herself to their children and their home, Brad had dedicated himself to making money, a lot of money.

He always said, “Jenny, we’re partners, 50/50, and don’t you forget it! I couldn’t be such a success without you.” Jenny believed him, and she also believed he’d be honest with her, just as she was with him.

It’s hard to pinpoint when exactly Jenny realized her marriage was over. Maybe it was when Brad forgot her birthday twice in a row, and it no longer hurt.

Sitting alone in her bedroom, waiting for Brad, Jenny realized she wasn’t in love with him anymore. She loved him, she respected him, he was her best friend, but the romance was dead.

“Ok,” Jenny agreed. “Two weeks…”

“Please, babe,” Brad said with tears in his eyes. “Please don’t give up on us. Just give me a little time, okay?”

So Jenny did, and did she get a surprise! Two weeks later, Brad breezed in. “The deal went through!” he cried.

“Can we talk tonight,” Jenny asked. “About us.”

Brad sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs nonchalantly. “We can talk now!” he said. “So… do you want a divorce or not?”

“A divorce?” Jenny gasped. “I thought you… You told me not to give up on us!”

“Oh, you know!” Brad waved a hand. “The things we say under pressure…”

“I see,” Jenny said. “In that case, I will contact a lawyer and file the motion…”

“I already did,” Brad said smiling. “And I also filed for bankruptcy. You’re not getting a CENT of my hard-earned money.”

“But you always said we were equal partners,” Jenny gasped. “50/50, you said.”

“Forget it,” Brad said. “That’s just one of those things I said. It didn’t mean anything.”

“Like ‘I love you,'” said Jenny bitterly.

“Exactly!” Brad said.
