We've all heard about exes causing drama, but what happens when an ex tries to be nice? A woman found herself in hot water after sending her ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend a present she couldn't afford. The exes, who remained friends after their breakup, still chat and send each other photos. The woman, now happily married, had no ill intentions when she decided to use her employee discount to buy a sweater her ex's new girlfriend couldn't afford. But things took an unexpected turn when the new girlfriend accused her of trying to outshine her and make her look bad. 😳 Let's dive into this sticky situation...

A Well-Meaning Gesture Gone Wrong 😬

In an attempt to help her ex's new girlfriend, a woman generously used her employee discount to buy a sweater the girlfriend couldn't afford. But instead of being grateful, the new girlfriend lashed out, accusing her of trying to outshine her and suggesting she wasn't over her ex. The woman's husband and some friends supported her, while others felt she crossed a line. Despite the backlash, she maintains that her intentions were good and that she's friendly with most of her exes. So, was this a genuine act of kindness or a boundary-crossing move? Let's see what the internet has to say about this situation... 🤔💭
