Based on what you wrote, I see no distiction between your personal relationship and the money. They are two separate issues. He says it was a loan and you say its a gift. I would recommend setting the personal and romantic feelings aside and try to talk it out with him and reach an agreement. Filing suit on this kind of a case for this amount of money is usualy a terrible headache and far more stress and time consuming than people want to deal with. Do not take any legal action or make any sound legal decisions without consulting with an attorney who can get more details than is in your question. These are horrible cases to deal with, usually don't justify the money for a lawyer, so a simple one on one conversation might help. I wish you well
