I'm in the process of trying to disentangle myself from a very stressful relationship (with an 'emotionally unavailable man' - the Baggage Reclaim site has been my salvation these last couple of weeks!) with a bloke who I have finally come to realise is never going to commit to me.
The trouble is he owes me money (yes, I know...I have beaten myself up enough about this already, go easy on me!!) and I need to try and keep things amicable while I try to extract as much of it as possible from him. I'd like to just tell him to leave me alone and cut all contact but think this is just letting him get away with it - it's not loads, a few hundred pounds, but recently a couple of things at home have gone wrong and I need it. He should be getting it soon (it was a deposit for a flat which he has now moved out of but he hasn't paid the last month's rent yet so could get it but is being crap and useless) but knowing him will probably string it out and use it as an excuse to keep in touch with me.
I have been on holiday and came back to texts asking how I was and saying he missed me, so I replied and said he needed to sort out the money as I needed it and he just texted back asking about what I was up to, completely ignoring what I said about the money. I'm completely torn between wanting to just give up and get away, and thinking well actually he shouldn't get away with it. What to do??
