I broke up with my ex-girlfriend of about two years back in October. She's immature in a lot of ways (just 25), but doesn't have a lot of money. She showed up at the park where I normally walk Monday afternoon and said she was hungry. I bought her lunch. I don't think it would ever really work, but I still love her and wouldn't want her to do without things she needs.
After some thought I have decided against this idea. She treated me horribly thru divorce and I would be nuts to do anything for her. Thanks for the advice.

Mine treated me pretty bad through our divorce but I still bought her a birthday present. Just because she took the low road in the divorce doesn't mean you have to. Show her you're better than that. And, if there are kids involved, it would show them you're not as bad as she was probably telling them you are.

If you are just feeling charitable and want to help someone in this fashion, there are tons of charities that need coats for kids. Look up a local one near you or even call a school local to you and tell them you want to donate a coat to a poor child and I am sure they can help.
Anybody ever send an ex a Christmas present? Ever since my divorce Christmas has not meant much to me. Someone recently told me to do something that made me feel good this Christmas to make it special. I thought long and hard and there is not much that I can come up with, other than as crazy as it sounds, Buying my ex-wife a nice winter coat and sending it to her anonymously.
She hasn't exactly been doing all that great since the divorce financially and the thing that made me think about it was the last time I saw her with a winter coat on it looked like total crap. I know she could use one and it isn't something she would ever buy herself. Would I be totally out of my mind for doing this? Thoughts?
I work with guys who have actually bought their exes cars so they have decent Transportation so I am thinking a coat is not that ridiculous.
Go easy on me. Just a thought.
What in the actual Heck?!? Why? She is your ex for a reason. ... I'm laughing here

Some people actually have OK interactions with exes. Especially when there were kids involved.
This is what I, personally, shake my head at, the idea that if a romantic relationship ends, the people must either hate each other or at best never want to see or hear from one another again. "They are your ex for a reason!" How do you know the reason, in all cases, enough to say something so general? Some people just kinda drift apart. A couple might even mutually decide that they'd be better off friends than romantically together.
I'm at least on OK friendly speaking terms with a number of people from my intimate past. I'm close friends with a few. And the bad one, the one that really did end nastily, we at least keep it civil because of the kids.

I agree that with some people, it CAN be an amicable and friendly situation. But it wasn't in OP's case. She treated him terribly, according to him. Plus...she left him for another man. This tends to not render couples as friends after a divorce.

I think that was sweet of you to buy her lunch. I would have done the same thing.

If she is hungry at the park she is not doing well at all and needs a lot of financial help. You best get to it.
