Re: Car ownership dispute

He's Not That Into You.

Leave him before you give him any more of the best years of your life. Stop going back to him.

Since you didn't get receipts for the cash, you won't be able to prove you paid him. Since you didn't insist that he marry you, you will leave the relationship with nothing.

If he is violent or abusive or threatening to you, call the police; and/or contact an intimate partner abuse hotline and find out how to get a restraining order.

Find a support system.
