Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Connecticut

Gave exboyfriend money what are chances of getting it back?

When my ex-boyfriend & I were together I tried to help him by paying off $5000.00 of his debt from my savings account. We were living together and he was heavily into debt and I since we were planning to get married I felt paying $5K of the debt was beneficial to both of us. Since we have now split up I am asking for $4000.00 of it back since eliminating his debt no longer helps me. There is a lot more money involved that I helped him out with but I am only asking for $4K back. He originally planned on paying me 100.00 per month but now thinks that he owes me nothing since I still have the engagement ring that was paid for on my credit card and paid off when we were a couple with both our salaries. I would like to know what grounds I have in getting this money back. Again there is more to it but most of it is his debt that I transfered in my name to help him get from high interest to lower interest rates ect. Those balances are now paid off with only this last $4K in question. Again, my salary helped pay his debt as well as his did which no longer benefits me so I feel asking for $4K vs the 22K debt he started out with is very fair. Please let me know. Thank you
