I feel like I'm constantly posting on here for advice at the moment.
So, ex and I separated a few months back and he moved out about 5 weeks ago. He gave me £600 last year to help clear my credit card when we were applying for a mortgage (he had no debts cos I paid for everything). He didn't put anything else into the house, my parents loaned us the deposit.
Fast forward to now and he is demanding this money back. He is very bitter about the split and apparently didn't want it to happen. Now I know I don't have to pay it back, it was never a loan but morally you might think its the decent thing.
However, during our relationship I used to pay for all the holidays and many other things besides. Hence why I have credit card debts and he has zero debt.
If you read my other posts, a complication to all this as he has had 2 bereavements recently so I've been having to tread on eggshells with him.
He pleads poverty all the time and is now saying he can no longer have the kids overnight until he can afford to buy bunk beds (he's currently in a 2-bed house with only 1 king size bed). So, he's trying to get this £600 back from me to 'buy a bed'.
I've just had to pay a few hundred pounds for a new TV (on my credit card AGAIN) because he took the TV as he did pay for it (fair enough).
I suppose I know what people will say but, maybe the guilt of the split and his bereavements is clouding my judgement. I don't feel I should give him a penny, considering I don't believe he gives me enough maintenance either. I was thinking of offering him half and that is all he is getting, and not to mention it again.
Should I really be getting myself further into debt to pay him back?
