[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Agree, wth? Call and ream him out and then refuse the check? OP, are you 12?

Grow up![/quote]

OP here  - this is not helpful.  Please see post above, and help me with what the grown-up thing to do is.  Yell at him and take the $160?  Really, I do not know.  And yes, likely because I am stuck as a 12 year old in this situation.  Which is why I am asking for help and other views. [/quote]

You need a professional OP.  And I say this kindly, but no one on here can give you the help you need.

Now what I would have done:

"Bill, as I appreciate the check for the $500 but I"m not sure if you remember that I had also bought $160 worth of tickets.  In the end, you thought we should have better seats so said I should just donate them to charity. If you could please get me that check for $160 at your earliest convenience, I would greatly appreciate it."

You yelling at him and calling him a cheapskate put him on the defensive.  Many ways to handle that better.  But let's just say I did what you did later on, when he offered I would have said "I apologize for getting so mad at you.  That is not a small amount for our family and I was annoyed that I felt like you were trying to get out of reimbursing me for it.  Yes, please mail the check when you can".

But seriously OP, you need professional help to deal with this. [/quote]
