should i communicate with my ex to get my money back?

They say that 'honesty is the best policy'. I think you should tell your current boyfriend about it first. If he agrees, then I guess you could contact your ex. As for your ex, I think it's been quite a while since you broke up, is that right? So why would telling him that you need your money back be a problem? One thing that makes me curious though is why it was only your money used as capital? Wouldn't that be your business, then? Or at least, you have a share in the profit as well. Then your ex shouldn't be so hesitant to answer when you call.

I hope you had a legal contract between you. If there was no paperwork where he signed a promissory note, then I am afraid you are up the creek without a paddle. I hope you did everything in a business like manner, and not just because he was your boyfriend. I would approach your ex boyfriend by email and see if he answers. If he acknowledges in any way that he owed the money or that he isn't going to return the money, you may be able to use that against him in a court of law. I wouldn't keep any secrets from your current boyfriend, because he should know what is going on. Good luck with that.. hope you can get your money back.

I do think that you should let your boyfriend know of the situation first. And see what he thinks about it. But I do think that it may not be a bad idea to get in touch with your ex about the money he borrowed. So long as your current boyfriend has no problem with it. After all it is money that he borrowed, and I do think that it should be returned.

It's a decision that's got two things...current boyfriend and an ex-boyfriend. Money is hard to come by. If you think your ex can pay you back without any problems, I would contact him if you aren't afraid of something. You have to communicate to get what you need in order to survive. Hope this helps..If the current boyfriend knows about your past relationship, their shouldn't be any problems

If it is my I'll be honest I think the better he knows it directly from you than he knows of others, why I say so because in my opinion it is better rather he get the story from someone else who is not necessarily a good story, Well of course you should look for situations good when you will say that. if your partner loves and believes in you I think he would say 'you better be careful still remember me here' ...^___^ honestly remember much better friend good luck
