writes: Ok, bit of a weird one, but this is the internet!!!Im a single guy, (now!) and have a daughter of 6 that lives with me, i was with a girl for approx two years, who i loved very much. Im working for myself in construction. The girl i was with also works for herself in retail. We were living together in her house. I came home from work one day and she told me that she "couldn't do this with the likes of me"...fcuking straight up!!! that was the end of it...Anyway long and short of it, she told me for approx 6 months she was waiting for a way out...fair enough, this happens...im no longer as hurt as i was when i happened...But in that period, i had put work off to firstly re-fit her shop, secondly renovate her home...this at the time i was doing as you do as part of the relationship, but now it just seems a little timely on completion of work that she wanted me gone...All of the usual hurt and shit i can live with, i've learned a valuable lesson in letting an outsider close to my daughter, this was probably the hardest part of everything...anyway, it transpires over the past few months, that she has been portraying me in an unfavourable light, i live and work in a small town... even though i always worked day and night at our relationship... 6 months on and my initial gut feeling that she was simply using me has not left...I feel like sending her the bills for time, and work given...she had re-imbursed me just about for monies spent on materialim just looking for opinions...do i just let it go and call it lesson learned, or do i make a point of it by billing her like a client, im under no illusion that she would have and has billed my family full whack in her business...am i just being petty?? or do i have a right to feel aggrieved and used with what i still regard as being used and lied to...Up to the day before it happened she was still telling me she loved me...Every day i was breaking my back in her house she told me she loved me...i actually feel conned and cheated...ok...i'd appreciate some input :)

I am sorry this has happened to you but the best thing to do would be to just let it go. I know its annoying and not fair but it is not worth your peace of mind. The likelihood would be that she wouldn't pay you anyway and i don't think you should put yourself through this. Cut your losses and put it behind you.
