I'm really confused and need advice. About 9 months ago while I was dating with my ex-fiance, he helped my put a thousand dollars down on my new car in cash, with out me even asking him to. I told him I didn't know when I could pay him back and felt uncomfortable taking his money. He said not to even worry about it. He then gave me that speech "his money was my money and my money was his money" bull crap. Still I'm not the kind of person who likes to take money from others so I told him one day I'd try to pay him back. Again he told me not to even worry about it. We broke up about 4 months later. Now he wants his money and I can't pay him. I've tried to talk to him about it and he keeps telling me when I get it I get it, but then behind my back he's telling friends of ours that if I don't pay him soon he's going to do all kinds of things. I feel like he's going through our friends to threaten me. I know its moraly wrong not to pay him, but I can't right now. What can he do to me and what can I do to protect myself until I can get the money? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Rachel
