After 3 mo. of lies I asked to go home so I could think. He threw me out of the home on a Sunday evening w/cat in dog in an unfamiliar town. He now claims that the ring was an engagement ring.The man is threating me & saying I stole it.What can I do to protect my self?This man verbally promised me & my parents that he would help me out financially if the relationship did not work out since he was the cause of me being unemployed for 3 mo. so that I could be with him.He has devestated me & continues to harrass me w/his lies & threatening me with legal action based on his lies.He was a Lawyer in NJ 20 years ago & is threatening me w/all kinds of leagal actions. I am frightened. Please Advise !!!!

Re: Ownership of ring
Keep ring, go home, block phone and e-mail from him, notify him you'll report the incident to your local state attorney if he persists (since the man probably has a history of such incidents), and pray. He has no legal basis for threats.
