Your prior post was disturbing to read, honestly, but he DOES owe you the money and you DO need him to repay you. I think maybe the fact that his ... failure to repay (I keep wanting to call it theft even though it wasn't theft) ... tipped over the apple cart of your finances and life, is why you haven't been able to just "let it go" and move on. He damaged you - the damage still exists - he has made no attempt to explain his initial failure or to apologize or to fix things. Hard to see why you should "just move on" - he owes you an apology and restitution. Yes, put it in God's hands - but the Lord helps those who help themselves, and I think putting your saga out there is helping. So...good.
Progress. BUT, when someone fails to pay you and you need to use those funds to meet other obligations, your rep takes the hit. Any other payee just wants what you and that payee agreed to. They aren't swayed by excuses no matter how legit.
Our rep is all we got.
I'm a nice guy. I rake the leaves, cut the lawn, lend a helping hand and participate in preserving our high-trust society. All it would take is the right injustice in the right circumstance to set me off. If it is an actual threat to our Judeo-Christian existence, and there are many, many little threats happening weekly, I'd be a Daniel Penny in a sea of lies while the truth hadn't even been woken up yet.
The only thing REAL disrespect recognizes is HARD pushback, often associated with public shame and often times, pain. It's WHY the high-trust component of our society has held for so long. Up until recently, the fear of punishment was always greater than just doing good. We cannot lose this reasoning.
Oh, that is so so good to read. I only care about you of course...but...it's good for him that he's manning up. Win win. Miss Juliette, your words make me so happy. God bless you. I find one good thing tends to bring other good things along in the current so crossing my fingers that this will be so for you now.

I don’t want an apology. I don’t want to talk to him. I just want my money.
He has started paying me back.
