Recently broke it off with my ex of officially 8 months?
We had went on vacation for a week together recently, there were concerning behaviors, and after some thoughts, I decided to end things.
I had given exact reasons why I no longer wanted to be in the relationship. He responded in a nice guy tone, and I repeated that this was my decision. And he since has lost it on me. Making everything about money.
In our relationship he was generous. Paying for dinner, buying gifts, and had sent me money. We did get engaged, and he let me pick my ring out. In the break up I did give the ring back. He had already told me he would sue for the ring, which again, no problem with giving the ring back.
But now he is trying to sue me for financial manipulation and abuse. As he said I just used him for money but in reality. All were gifts. All unprompted. I think there was one month I was having a hard time and he had sent me a larger amount of money to help, but never asked for it.
I always had the intention to try to build a relationship for the future, but once red flags were showing, I decided we were no longer a good fit.
Also as a note, we did not live together yet, and we did not have any joint accounts. We had planned that for more when my lease was up.
Can he successfully sue me for any of this?
