I was in a relationship for about 3 years and we decided to buy a house so our 6 kids (3 his and 3 mine) would be comfortable. He did not have steady income so he could not apply for a home loan. i made pretty good money on my own so i applied and was approved for a loan. we picked the house together and agreed on the asking price. I brought forth almost all of the down payment from my own savings, a gift from my mom and taking a loan against my 401K. He agreed to contribute 1,000 to go towards the earnest money to get the whole process started. there were no talks of me having to repay the money and the sale of the house went through. we lived in the house together from Dec 2015 til we broke up June of 2017. The whole time we lived together i paid his car insurance premiums and he agreed to pay half the water bill but never did. when he left my house he stole things from me that did not belong to him and also damaged some walls and doors in my home. it was a bitter break up. we also had financing for a couch/living room set that was bought for the house that I had made 100% of all the payment on since the purchase. once he left the house he started harassing and threatening me saying i had to have the financing paid in full w/in 2-3 months or he would send some supposedly damaging evidence to my employer to get me fired (I later found out what he had was a staged photo of my DL he took my from purse and put it next to a pipe and took a pic). Trying to avoid drama and even the slightest possibly my employer would be brought into the high school type drama i reworked my budget to try and figure out the quickest way to pay the financing so I could be done. a month went by and i started receiving threatening emails again that i wasn't paying it fast enough and that i better pay it and also pay back the $1000 or else he would make sure that i am very uncomfortable when i go to work or the conferences for my industry because he would send them information so embarrassing that i wouldn't want to show up (still not sure what that was exactly). again I told him i was paying it off as fast as i possibly could and i couldn't just pull $3,000 for the financing out of the sky. again i kept paying the bills and now he has resorted to sending me anonymous packages in the mail from different online vendors not just to my home but now 2 times to my work. 1 was a package of "poop" (i think it was really mud) with a note that said "You have been pooped on" and 1 was an exploding glitter bomb filled with glitter shaped like penises. it was one thing when i received the first poop package at home but hen a few days later i got another a work and then the glitter bomb at work. against my better judgement i emailed him frustrated and told him to leave me alone and now he is threatening to sue me for the $1000.
Can he even sue me? there was no contract? he only demanded the money after we broke up. i guess i view the 1000 as part of his living expenses for the home since i paid all his insurance premium, all the water bill, all the energy bill and cable/internet bills the whole time him and his kids lived in my house full time..
