Is it wrong to accept money from an ex to help out

I have a friend that will call her ex-boyfriend behind her current boyfriend's back to get extra money for her braids. She has done this several times. If her boyfriend tells her he doesnt have enough money to get her hair braided, which where I live runs about $200 she will go to her ex because he has always financially better off. She only keeps them in for about two months tops. I ask her why does she do this and she states why not. In my opinion this is wrong and disrespectful. Her boyfriend has no idea where she is getting the money.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Honesty, integrity and character play into this ??
If the ex is the father of your children and there is a legitmate need (auto ins.) that would differ from wanting a non-essential item and taking advantage of someone who is carrying a torch for you.
Taking advantage of another person emotional yearning for us is unkind.
The old "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a big factor.
Here is a key. If you hide the truth from the man in your life then you are manipulating and controlling others for your own wants. A want is a big difference than a need.
Also be aware if you see someone take advantage of another be careful you may be next. It shows male or female, a persons character or lack of character.
Peace, just my opinion.
