are my rights? I am a 18 year old girl. When I was 16, I met a guy in the next state and we dated for a year and a half. At first he was really nice and good to me but overtime he started to show signs of emotional instability. First he would get defensive and then paranoid all the time I was cheated then emotionally forced me to get engaged and I came just two weeks from marrying him. He convinced me that my family was out to get us and we came really close to moving across the country. Finally when I seen the light and got a new guy and was about to walk out he snapped and went crazy on me. He came close to strangling me and then I left him behind.
Well NOT EVEN ONE WEEK after I left, he won $700,000 through a hot lotto ticket with his state. Soon after he invested a lot of it in some company and he now very rich and lives in a large house. But the thing is hes donating loads of money into charities and its gaining a lot of public attention in his area. Hes appeared on a few local TV shows and had dancing balls at his house and now hes talking about running for the city council. Everyone in his town loves him and then last week my old friend from there called and said some 18 year old girl moved in with her four year old daughter. I am scared too death now.
I know the girl thinks shes got a wonder full boyfriend because at the early days I thought I did too. I am scared he will slowly reel her in and have her emotionally forced into an engagement. I tried to warn her but he convinced her I was a selfish, hate filled b.itch. To make matters worse hes actually said on the radio interviews, that he thought his life was over before because I was a selfish girl who abandoned him,. And now hes writing a book on his life and I am certain its going to be filled with lies about me.

So what are my rights here?
I was told without proof I cant sue if he does say anything bad about me.
And how do I manage to get his new live in girlfriend to get out before her and her daughter fall victim to his insanity?
 
It is not up to you to tell her what to do. You can't be emotionally forced into engagement. You have no rights with out proof. You should just get over it.... Sorry.
 
i think you gotta chill

A. if he does not say your name or give your personal info you can't sue
B. who cares about the other girl and her daughter
C. GET OVER IT GET OVER IT GET OVER IT....LET HIM DO WHATEVER HE WANTS, HAVE YOU REALLY MOVED ON YET??? DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM IF HE IS SUCH A ASS LIFE WILL SORT HIM OUT ALONG WITH KARMA. STOP SPENDING SOOO MUCH TIME THINKING ABOUT WHAT HE IS SAYING ABOUT YOU AND HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND AND BIG HOUSE AND LOTTO WINNER ETC.... JUST LET HIM DO WHATEVER AND GET OVER IT!!!
sorry if i come off mean or anything like that, i really don't mean to be/sound mean, but it seems like he is moving on and you are still trying to be involved in his life what he says who he is with etc... move on...he did
 
Girl you need to let it go and move on!!! He was your boyfriend, not husband, you are no longer together and what he does with his life is really none of your business! He could actually sue you for defamation for badmouthing him to his new girlfriend.
Move on, find someone that loves you and forget about him.

Note: The only way you can sue him if he says something about you in his book and you can proof that it is a lie.

Well, if he commits libel or slander, there's potential for you to do something legally. But libel/slander cases are extremely hard to win because you have to prove actual damage caused by what he's said/written as well as prove for certain that he is lying. Pretty hard to do.
Aside from that, you have no rights. You're an ex-girlfriend and not an ex-wife for one thing.
And aside from trying to talk to/warn the new girl, there's nothing else you can do (and if you went overboard, you could wind up the one being sued).
You've just got to move on.
