My ex's grandmother left me some money -- should I share it with him?

He treated me terribly and I'm still getting over it. And I'm not sure what she intended.

    Gender differences

    Someone suggested that males and females would react differently to the letter. It's interesting that nowhere in the letter does it say that the LW is a woman. I sort of assumed the ex-couple was two men, given that we heteros are a little less likely to use the "partner" title. Of course, it doesn't change the ethical quandary of the situation!

    I tend to think the ex's bad behavior should not be a factor in the LW's decision. The ethical solution should not hinge on the way the relationship ended.
