A divorced father with 50/50 custody of his kids was asked by his ex-wife for money to buy food after her husband left her. He offered her a large amount of groceries instead, including frozen meat and pantry staples. However, she rejected the offer and demanded cash for takeout instead. He refused, insisting his food was sufficient. His ex-wife accused him of trying to manipulate her into a housewife role, while others criticized him for not giving her the cash. Most people online supported him, agreeing he did not owe her money and had provided enough food. OP stood firm in his decision.
