Wow...my head still hurts from reading that run-on sentence.

Anyway, you are not obligated to repay a gift. The burden will be on your ex to prove that she loaned you the money. It may simply come down to who the judge believes.

Do not reply to any of her demands for the money! She will eventually get tired of hounding you. It would not be worth it for her to pursue legal action. Nothing will come of this. learn a lesson from this. do not accept any money from girlfriends or any one else and you will be ok. When you start accepting money from girlfriends they think they own you. Either do without or work 2 jobs..

Amazing - Your advice is to ignore it because $2,000 is not enough for someone to sue over. You have no idea what evidence the ex has. And, if I felt I had a strong case, I would DEFINITELY sue over $2,000!
