Wow. I'm shocked that he has that much money. What a sleaze. And now he's offering you money on the condition you take him back? Unbelievable.

I would be asking my lawyer about this, since it appears he misled you about the size of his mother's estate. He must have known when you were still living together that he was going to be getting all that money. Inheritances take time. You may be legally entitled to some of that.

I know there have been news stories about spouses who tried to dupe each other out of lottery winnings and so on. I know that's different from an inheritance but I would be really interested to hear a legal opinion. It's my understanding that when someone passes, every beneficiary has to receive a copy of the will. So he would have known long ago that he was getting that money. Grrrrr. Whether you are legally entitled or not I think he should be paying you at least some amount, with no strings attached.

He has deceived you many times and I want to punch him!
