Best way - very confused that someone actualy thinks like this, one of his closest friend don't understand

Question

In 2001, my kinda boyfriend moved from northern ca, to southern ca. During that time he said he was having financial problems, lent him money however told him I would need it back as soon as he can - agreed. During that year and the next we were having our ups and downs, still no money ($3,000.00 was borrowed). We end up having a child together in 2003, in 2005 I moved in with him (me paying $300.00 + 1/2 utilities and groceries) moved out after 4 months. Due to problems we moved in together again temporary so I can get back on my feet, now back in northern ca. First 6 months I was paying $200.00 +1/2 utilities and groceries and still pay major of our son's things. August paying $400.00 now with the above still. During those years we have had ALOT of problems, according to him I have put him through alot. He feels for everything that he has gone through that he should not have to pay back, I explained to him money lent to him in 2001 and years later of going through crap don't mix

Answer 1

Yes people have some strange ways of thinking.

YES He owes you the money.
He is just trying to justify in his head why he shouldn't have to pay you back, hoping you will fall for the excuse.

I imagine you will never see that money again. Its a shame too, I am sure you need it for your child. I hope you file for child support.
