Today, I found out my ex bought a digital camera, an iPod, and a large flat-screen TV, all purchased with the alimony I'm paying him. FML

People do marry people they want to stay with forever. But then real life happens, circumstances and people change, and it can become impossible to be together without being miserable. Check your judgemental, ignorant, uninformed attitude, dude. Let people handle their own affairs without being sneered at.

#2 and #13, the point of alimony is that you give money because they need it. If he's buying things that aren't necessities, then it looks like she's just losing that much money.

Agreed with #97. Women have been doing it for years through divorce and when a man does it, you post on FML? Lol. Accept it and move on.

Yes! Your ex-husband is my hero. Now maybe he'll start spending your cash on hookers that he brings outside your house, then he'll be a legend

How is this an FML? He can spend his alimony on whatever he wants. Now if he was doing this with the CHILD-SUPPORT money, that'd be a problem.

Why do you care? Shoudln't you be worried about what you're doing than what he is? Maybe he pays rent w/the alimony and the rest he bought with his own money. Maybe his new girlfriend bought him the new stuff. So what? YDI, you should've married someone who could get his own job so you wouldn't have to support him!

Sorry, but this kind of FMLs is too disturbing, at least for me.

I don't see why people are making such a big deal of this. Alimony isn't child support money, it's just retribution for the divorce. He can spend it however he wants to for however long he gets it.

OP said Alimony, that is not child support. Alimony can be awarded to an ex in a divorce even when there are no children. We don't even know that these two divorced people even have kids.
