Mistake #1: Having a lawyer “friend.”
Mistake #2: Going to a Goddamned wedding.

Look up the laws in your state. If you’re smart, you won’t f~~~ with a lawyer and you’ll just hand over the $500 and hope you never see or hear from him again. F~~~ing A. Avoid lawyers at ALL costs. And NEVER go to another wedding ever again. It doesn’t matter that what he did was wrong. He’s a f~~~ing lawyer. EJECT!

Nah. Unless he’s an incompetent lawyer he’ll know better than to go to court over a measly $500, especially when courts only enforce laws, not etiquette. The rules of marriage etiquette also say a wife has to return the engagement ring if she breaks things off, but how many divorce courts have ever enforced that little rule?

It’s true this guy sounds like an asshole, but most lawyers are morons and are not very good. A dude that tries to pill this off can’t be doing too well at all.

Legally speaking he has nothing.

And in fact, if you just call up his state bar character & fitness committee, and say you have a question about a lawyer demanding money from you, they will probably discipline him because he should know better.

So few that I never heard of it and it ticks me off that my lawyer never brought that up. “Thousands and thousands of dollars.” Rainman

He didn’t bring it up because he knew you wouldn’t get it anyways. Courts enforce laws, not rules of etiquette. She keeps the ring because she’s a greedy, rude, uncouth c~~~. But there’s no actual law against women being greedy uncouth c~~~s.

You’re not losing friends, you’re losing idiots. You just tell him that you f~~~ed his girl and I bet he will stop emailing you. We all know most of these c~~~s will be f~~~ing some other guy if she hasn’t already done so.

I would send him the suit and a bill for the cost of sending it.

I would also send him a letter by certified mail telling him

“Hey asshole i will send you the money, $50. a week by money order till its all payed off.Glad thats all it cost me to be rid of you ,go f~~~ yourself and dont ever bother me again.I was doing you a f~~~ing favor as a friend going to your POS princess party meanwhile for me it was like a duck going to a desert you f~~~wit.You failed to respect that.Shows what kind of friend you are.”

I shed myself of all my fairweather and mooching friends a few years ago.Dialing my stress levels down a long ways in the process.

People that always want s~~~ every time you hear from them.The worst are those who want to rudely vomit their emotional problems all over you.Allmost all of them are bluepill f~~~heads who cannot see the female origin of their issues.Just because im single does not mean im an emotional tampon for their woman problems and problems with their women and the repressesd anger that goes with it.

I make it no secret that im single and i view marriage as a toxic environment for men.

frankly my dear i don't give a damn

I would have not even gone. The cost alone to get there and back is a joke, they will be divorced in a few years anyhow.

I don’t do weddings.

Problem with lawyers is they will try to sue you for anything I am sure some of you remember this story being posted by a member here about a month ago or so. Lawyer Threatens to Sue Restaurant Over $2.25 Cup of Soup. Most lawyers are scum willing to do anything for attention or to stick it to someone just because they can it is in their nature. Just be careful when dealing with them after a threat.

They like to threaten to sue, but there’s a huge difference between threatening to sue and actually suing. Most are just bullies trying to extort “legal fees” hoping you won’t call their bluff. So call their bluff. Tell them you will be filing a complaint with the state bar ethics commission if they don’t knock their s~~~ off. Inform them that you will also countersue for full legal fees, remuneration, plus punitive damages.

The risk of losing such a lawsuit, and the even greater risk of being disbarred for using the courts time for extortive purposes, is much more serious to them than the measly $500 for a crappy wedding suit that his bitch wife picked out for “her” wedding.

Yes you are right there is a difference I forgot to mention threat instead of actually suing. They love to do this because they can.

There was a little thing to where one of the other guys standing up, I had texted him asking if this was a suit, he never responded. I told main guy about this, he asks doormat guy and he LIES saying I never asked him.

Holy s~~~…I cant wait to wash my hands of these f~~~s. These were guys I was friends with for like 10 years.

[MadmanParticipant 772]

I agree, send the suit back to him and he can f~~~off. They will be divorced in two years anyway.

He’s probably broke after that wedding. Give him the suit, the money and cut off a communication wih them. Better safe than sorry.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

This was just an indirect way of his bride attempting to extract your resources for her wedding pleasure.

Nah. That’s exactly what he’s hoping for. Send back the suit. Keep the money. He’s just trying to recoup his losses for giving his future ex wife her “special day”, and using s~~~ty intimidation tactics to get it. F~~~ him. He may be obligated to her now, but you aren’t. F~~~ her.

[aeragoanParticipant 1186]

i think his fiance enlightened about this about having a suit..its better to cut all your communications…you just need 1 honest good friend in your life..you dont need these idiots who are supporting him

[LightBringerParticipant 440]

In my email to him initially I ended with ‘whats your mailing address I can return it to’ and he never responded to that other than ‘why was your email so hostile?’

Whats the thought on me just giving him 150$ after my/sis 400$ ‘gift’? When we argued on the phone he was saying I didnt need to get him a gift, and anything I gave him is NOT related to the issue at hand. I kind of want to do this just to slap him in the face a bit.

[LightBringerParticipant 440]

Oh, yeah I should add to, both are lawyers, they recently just bought a house for 800k, and she did NOT take his last name, meaning she is still rocking her maiden name…

[SamsquanchParticipant 4226]

His wife is telling him to ask you for $$. I’d rather make my own suit than go to another wedding.
