This man helped me with something for my job and he saw info that he shouldn't have seen. The info was very limited and no one was hurt by it. I made a bad choice, but I had no ill intent of any kind. Months after he helped me, he contacted my employer and told them. I have been fired from my job, denied unemployment, don't have insurance. This person took everything he could from me because he "loved' me and I didn't love him. We were friends; he wanted more; I didn't. I never treated him badly or anything. He harassed me to the point I got a restraining order. I filed a grievance trying to get my job back-doesn't look good. My employer seems to be trying to screw me. What he told them was true, but his reasoning behind it was malicious. Do I have any legal recourse against him? I want him to understand the impact of what he did. My job was my passion. He hurt me, but he also hurt my clients. What are my chances if I appeal unemployment? Any other suggestions (yes I'm looking for work

He was never a friend to begin with, if he would take sensitive information and use it to destroy you. Somehow, some way, you must be able to redeem yourself. It looks like you did not return the "love" he sought from you, and wanted revenge. That is a classic case of selfishness and self preservation. To ride roughshod over other people is nowhere near being fair at all.
As far as the legal part, if what he said is true, it does not sound like your "friend" can be sued for libel or defamation of character. I wonder if you can hold him directly responsible for the loss of your job and sue him in civil court for lost wages and mental anguish. In the meantime, starting your own business, if you have the resources, may be a good way to go. Seek free legal counseling. Look up the offices for legal aid in the city you live in, and explain your situation. If I knew a little more about what happened, I may be able to give more detailed advice.

What would you expect to get with legal recourse against him? And can you afford to pursue it? If he did so much damage to you, he probably knows the impact because that was probably his intent. I'm sure he understands exactly what he did- hurting you was his goal.
Who knows what your unemployment appeal chances are- gather your evidence and give it a try. It's hard to say without knowing what info he got his hands (eyes) on and used against you. It's hard to know why a man would help you with your job if he wasn't an employee, so it might make you negligent.
Good luck.

A friend wouldn't do that and that is not love. He did not love you, he wanted control over you. cut all ties with that guy. get legal counseling on what your rights are in this matter. control is something you must take for yourself and live your life safely and to the fullest.
