DBing Again -- Need Support Now

[Two Sided Coin]

I told H last night that when I move out, I wanted to pay for SD12's karate. Both he and her mother are strapped for cash and she'd have to give it up totally, because H said he'd pay for it before we broke up (I had offered, too, but then realized that I was cutting it close and couldn't do it), and now he's not going to have the funds if he's got to pay for rent, utilities and incidentals alone.

She's a brown belt now and has 2 years to go until her black belt. She and I were talking on an outing last night and I'd really like to do this for her. When I move, I won't have rent to contend with, so my situation would comfortably allow for it.

I texted H and he texted back asking me why I'd do that. His exact text was something like "Why would you do that? It costs X, Y and Z. Why would you even want to do that?", which I took as slightly argumentative.

I told him that it was my idea to get SD into karate in the first place(over 7 years ago) and I wanted to help out now. It's not her fault that both he and her mom are in the positions they're in monetarily. I know that SD and I haven't been close in the past and I regret that; there's a lot about the past I'd change but it's not too late now.

I guess in the end we settled on him not minding if I help.
