Most people probably think of giving to charity as a good thing.

In today’s story, a man tells us about his ex-wfie who was extremely against giving to charity for some reason.

Post divorce, he uses giving to charity to make her mad.

Let’s see how the story unfolds…

Thank you for your donation

My ex wife had/probably still has, this irrational hatred for charity giving.

Like my employer had a program where you give a portion of your wage to any or all of a long list of charities.

Think like you pick $X per pay, then you select any number of recipients from a huge list. You get the tax deduction, they take care of administrative costs.

I did it and never thought about it again, it was something like $50 a month going to blind people, street kids, women’s shelters, a local museum, etc.

His wife was furious.

When she found out she was livid.

Like threatened me with a knife livid.

And we were far from broke, it was a great job, we owned a house, living the good life.

He’s getting revenge on his ex post divorce.

Years later we divorce, it’s gross. Like the worst divorce story anyone I know has ever heard in real life.

Anyway, I’m not at that employer anymore but still give to charities as I feel like.

When I do, I don’t really care about the tax receipt, so I put her email address in it.

His ex is constantly reminded of his charitable giving.

So every month or so she gets an email thanking her for her donation to … Wikipedia, or whatever else.

She particularly hates paying for Wikipedia, but I tend to choose ones I know for sure she’d hate the most. Sick kids.

She’s really a horrible person.

Best part, she can’t even claim the deductions because 1) they’re still in my name and 2) she lives in a different country now.

You can’t claim Canadian Charities on US tax returns.

Anyway, I think I’m funny.

I’m glad OP is giving to charity even if he is doing it is a form of revenge.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted…

This reader loves the revenge.

Here’s the perspective of someone who used to work for a charity…

Another reader would pick the charities wisely.

This reader points out OP is doing two things at once.

Another reader also donates to Wikipedia.

I can’t understand being so set against donating to any charity.
