Evening all, I'm a guy, late 50's and until a couple of months ago, in a relationship with a female in her mid 50's. We got on fine and had a lot of fun, until one day she seemed a bit off with me, I asked if there was a problem, I was told, "no". A couple of hours later, I asked again and got the same reply.
It was Sunday night when I dropped her off and she handed me an envelope and said, "can you read that when you get home"? I nodded, said goodnight and drove home.
I got in the house, made a drink and opened the envelope, it was an invoice for £420 to cover 6 sessions at a physiotherapist for a thigh strain. I was stunned and had to read it again. It was only 9pm, so I tried to call her, she didn't answer, I sent a text and email, but heard nothing back that night.
After several attempts the next day, she eventually answered her phone, before I'd even said hello, she piped up, "when are you going to pay me my money"? I said, "what's this all about"? she then claimed I'd hurt her thigh when we were having sex and that's what she'd paid at the clinic. She'd never mentioned this to me at all, nor had she shown any pain, discomfort, discernible limp or inability to stop any activity at the weekend. I told her I wasn't paying and she got right ratty, I told her I was hanging up and did so.
She's tried being nice and goody goody, but I ain't falling for it, now, she cannot call or text me, as I've blocked her.
A signed for letter arrived today, I opened it, and saw that she'd gone to a solicitor for advice and it was outlined in the letter that I was to pay £420 or face court proceedings. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm a member of UNITE the union, so I'm going to call tomorrow for advice. This is beyond ridiculous, how can she prove that I hurt her, she's never indicated any distress to me, so why try is on now?
This is just plain weird. Should I just ignore it?
