There IS none, but this is what I did: I didn't see him for a year after the breakup, owing to the fact that we live 3 states apart. When I did finally did see him, I yawned through him telling me that he had become responsible. I told him I would like to see him prove it tangibly (i.e. no more "I'll send you money next week" promises) and none-too-eagerly I produced a pen and paper. I told him ever so sweetly that it would mean so much to me if he could live up to this responsibility in a tangible way, JUST for my own peace of mind. I wanted to remember him well, I said with tears brimming my innocent eyes. I wanted to put the bad times in the past forever. After all, we had had such a beautiful time together. I downcast my eyes, stirred with the deep emotion of the memory of our love. Charmed completely, he proceeded to write down that he would pay me the money he owed by a certain date, my birthday. Such a special time. I told him gently that I was so happy that he finally did seem to have changed and how happy that made me. He was helping me lay his memory to rest in a positive way. Deeply moved, I thanked him sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. If only he had looked a little more closely behind my sweet face and warm smile, he would have seen an evil gleam. I was well-prepared: I had called a lawyer prior to this meeting and asked if a signed note that said I was owed a debt was legally binding. Yes, it is. *snicker*. I don't know quite yet how I'm going to do it, but come my 22nd anniversary, I intend to take him to small claims court. I'll start off by warning him first, though. The threat alone may yet be enough to make him pay up. In any case, I am determined to get it back. And I will. Tainted young? Perhaps. But I can name 3 friends offhand who lent money to the man they loved. Why not? When you love someone, you want to do everything possible to help them. It hurts like hell, though, when he betrays this trust later. Men - sometimes I want to nuke the whole breed. Then comes along another pair of gorgeous blue eyes and I'm sunk again!! noemi -------- Men - you can't live with them and ... you can't live with them!
