Not sure what to do about this, but suffice to say I'm pretty ****** off. Last year my gf of 8+ years walked out. No reason, no discussions, total advoidance of any questions etc. 18 months prior to the breakup, I was having a tough time in my chosen career. After several lengthy discussions, it was agreed that I'd go back to uni to study medicine; in order to better myself and attain a better quality of life for myself and by default, her. We went over the financial implications of the decision and she agreed that whilst studying, I wouldn't be able to contribute on the same level as I had before (Ie paying for everything), and that she would pay some of the bills. Just to emphasise, this was all discussed at length. It was essentially a mutual decision.
Jumping forward 18 months and she decides to grab all her stuff (and some of mine) and walk out. At this point I was deep into my degree and pretty messed up by the whole thing to be honest. I asked if she wanted to talk; nothing. I tried to be amicable; again, nothing. So, I went no contact. Then, a few weeks back she starts contacting me asking for money. In specific, the money that she used to pay the bills. Since then, I've been getting increasing amounts of messages from her asking for me to give her back the money she spent on bills. As a fulltime student, I'm earning nothing and working flatout to attain a degree. She knows this. Worst still, as I discovered earlier today, the reason she is asking for money now, is because she lost her job and presumably can't afford to take out the guy she was cheating on me with. So, she wants me to pay her so she can go and have fun, while I bust my ass at uni. Livid isn't the word. We had no formal agreement, so I doubt she has any legal recourse, but still..
