Your ex needs $300. Your current partner knows NOTHING about it. You send the money anyway… then say, “It’s MY money. I wasn’t asking permission!” 😳💸
Was that kindness—or disrespect?
🎙️ Join Broker J3 & Dr. B on J&B Live as we unpack a relationship debate that goes BOTH ways: helping an ex while building a life with someone new.
An ex’s emergency can raise some uncomfortable questions. Are you simply returning a favor? Are you still their go-to person? And why does your current partner have to find out AFTER the money is gone? 👀
🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:
💰 Separate money versus shared responsibilities
❤️ Compassion for an ex versus loyalty to your partner
🗣️ Asking permission versus showing consideration
👨👩👧 What changes when you share a child?
🏠 Helping an ex while bills at home go unpaid
📱 Deleted messages, secrecy, and damaged trust
🔄 Whether we judge men and women by the same rules
Then we introduce a fictional scenario: a $300 car repair, a grateful ex, and one deleted message that changes the conversation:
“You always take care of me. Some things never change.” 😬
💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION:
Would you be more upset about…
A️⃣ The money?
B️⃣ The fact that it went to an ex?
C️⃣ Finding out afterward?
D️⃣ The deleted message?
Tell us your choice—and WHY. Does sharing a child change your answer? Would you accept the same rule if the roles were reversed?
📌 FINISH THIS SENTENCE:
“Helping an ex crosses the line when __________.”
