Woman Revokes Ex-Fiancé's Internet Discount After Learning He Still Used Her $10 Employee Perk

A woman had her ex-fiancé’s internet employee discount removed after an ISP troubleshooting call revealed he was still using her perk at their former home.
The representative offered to end the discount on that account and transfer it to her current address, and she immediately agreed.
She said the ex was not struggling financially—citing more than $160,000 in salary, roughly $4,500 a month in extra income, and over $100,000 from a property sale.
She framed the move as administrative closure after a difficult relationship, saying she has ongoing immunotherapy costs and would benefit more from the discount herself.
Is an ex using your discount a simple oversight, or a calculated act of post-separation financial abuse?
When an employee discount is misused, who is the real victim: the company or the individual whose benefit was exploited?
Should laws define financial exploitation by an ex-partner as a specific form of domestic violence?
