Your friends and your office staff know him (your boyfriend) because he frequently visits you at work. Although you have not announced to everyone that he is your boyfriend, everyone and everybody who has seen you together many times has assumed that you and him have something going on. And, they have reason to think so because there were times when they've seen you speaking sweet nothings to each other and even arguing with one another. The boyfriend is a recent college graduate and still has to find a decent job. And, lately, he has been asking for money from you. There are days when he only asks for some small cash. But, there are also times when he insists on asking for a certain huge amount of cash. You, on the other hand, afraid that if you can't give him what he's asking for, he'll give you the cold shoulder treatment, gives in to his demands. You want to please him with the hope that he'll be nice and loving to you, so you do as he says. Then, you find out the truth...

Can you bring him to court and sue him for lieing to you and hurting your feelings? Can he be sued for mocking your love for him? Can he be sued for playing around with your feelings and your heart? Can he be sued for making a fool out of you? Can he be sued for draining you emotionally, and financially? Can he be sued for always asking for pocket money even if there were no documents nor paperwork during the transfer of cash from my hands to his hands (but, there were witnesses)? If you CAN sue him for all these, what are the basis?

Unless you have something in writing that states he owes you a specific amount of money,not much you can do.
Break up with him, move on with your life and don't waste the court's time (and taxpayer money) on useless lawsuits.
Take it as a valuable life lesson (albeit, an expensive one, I'm sure) and move on.

Oh, puh-leeze. You are afraid saying no will make him give you the cold shoulder treatment -- but suing him won't????
Dump the bum. Check with legal services what actions you take in your area, but even if you don't have a legal foot to stand on, go ahead and give him the bill for what he owes you(unless he seems psychotic and the type to give you a really hard time.)
If he pays, great. If not, consider it tuition in the hard School of Experience.
Extortion is if someone uses force. He didn't force you physically to get your money. Your own fear is what forced you to give him money. You could sue yourself, possibly, but the money would be put to better use getting some counseling.
Better luck with the next boyfriend. I think moving on is the best answer in this case.

If he is asking for money it could amount to extortion.
I do know that it is childish to consider suing because he lies to you. Look, you must have been stupid enough to give this clown money or he would not think he has a right to keep on asking you. This means you are encouraging the jerk. If you were serious and truly mean you wish him to stop asking, you'd go to the police and put an end to the kid games.
It screams immaturity when you cannot handle or solve your own problems. You were NOT placed on this earth to "please this guy" or any guy. It is time for you to grow up and assume some of the responsibility for your problems with this creep. Somewhere along the line, you gave him a giant green light.
He wants attention from you and you are giving it to him. This means he is able to manipulate you. Grow up and tell him GAME OVER, then follow through.

No, I am pretty sue you can not sue him for you being a pushover. The only thing on that list that I saw as a possible grounds for a case is the make a fool of you at work. You would really have to show that you made an effort to get him to not go to your work and also that your job was affected by his words; like you were fired, passed up for promotion, or demoted. You would have to show that the boyfriend was the major reason this happened at work.
The real thing to think about here is why you accept being treated so poorly. I think it is obvious you have some issues that need addressing.
Think of this quote "Burn me once,shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me."

yes but not for all the reason you stated. Mental abuse is one reason if you state in the right way in court. Small claims Court. The money part is another thing, the pocket money no, but if you have with drawls of the bank statements and get him to oddment he would pay you back when he can that it was not a gift you will win

You give $$$ to some guy like that ?
That is so retarded . . .
Yes , you can sue because this is the US and anyone can sue anyone (he can sue you for not giving him $$ )
BUT . . . suing & winning are NOT the same .
1) The attorney will cost you lots of $$$$$$$$.
2) The court does not award judgements to people because they were so stupid as to give $$$ to some player who asked for it.
Get a clue , stop being a chump , & stop thinking the courts will compensate you after you act like a dim bulb.

You can find a lawyer for any purpose. Like other stray ferals
they want to be watered and fed. Bring one into your life, luv.
But they can't bring you love. Accept whatever carcass they'll
drag over to gnaw on being thankful your life has grown so different around these curious if legal-minded beasts. Go now, play in the fields of law, enjoy.

make sure from now on that you tell him you are only loaning him the money. Make sure you write "Loan" somewhere on the check. Give him time to pay you back. If he doesn't take him to court. He's just using you. I think you are starting to realize that. There are other guys out there who would go out with you and not treat you like a personal bank. Never let someone try to get over on you. Someone that really cares about you wouldn't do that.

I am going to be totally blunt with you... HE is not making a fool of you. You are doing that to yourself, by continuing to go along with demands and rudeness.
You are hoping to trade money for affection... and you don't even have a signed agreement that can be shown, in a court.
No, you do not have grounds for a lawsuit.
