Dear Eric: My partner and I just bought a house together and are settling in nicely. He and his ex were married for 10 years, and she was mentally and emotionally abusive toward him. It took a lot of strength for him to leave.
They do not have children, pets or any property together. It should have been a clean break; however, she still contacts him.
Recently, she sent him a card in the mail. In it was a housewarming gift, a $1,000 gift card.
