Split with partner. Financial tolls?
So my partner and I have split up about 2 weeks ago. Around January, we had just moved into a new build her grandparents had built. We were yet to pay any rent on it, but we were working out an agreement for buying the property.
My parents bought us our couch as a gift. It cost about €2,500. After moving back in with my parents, they made it clear to me that they want that money back, as that was a gift for me for buying my first house.
I have asked my ex-partner if they're willing to pay for it but they're refusing to do so. Throwing it back in my face that I hadn't paid any rent (even though neither of us had paid any). I'm willing to take the hit on everything else that I had paid for but this is for my parents.
I really don't want to have to take legal action, I would much rather try to sort it out amicably, but if it comes to it, do I have any options?
I don't have a receipt for the sofa, but I did handle all the dealings with the shop, so it was my name on the order and it was me who paid for it.
