Do you have to pay the money back if you have been overpaid?

I paid my boyfriend more than half of my trip but now my bank savings are short and don't have enough to get me through next 2 weeks after pay bills and get my paycheck. Do I ask him back for the money I overpaid of my half and how do I do it?

• Answer:

  First of all, did you make an agreement with your boyfreind that you were lending him this amount for the trip? If you did, then you need to ask him for the money. If he can't pay it in full, ask him to pay in installments. On the other hand, if you did not make such arrangments with him before the trip, you really have no basis on asking for money. It's your word against his. (That's if you plan on taking this further). I would suggest you speak with your boyfriend and advise him that your in financial need. If he does not mention paying you back for the trip, then it's clear he has no intention of doing so. Take this as a lesson learn.
