Help me with this please

There should be one called "I'm stupid and been had" You can only blame yourself noobody held a gun to your head you did all this and now want a law to go after them...sorry

I think you should move on and write off your losses. It's a very painful experience. I hope you'll learn not to be too gullible next time. Get out of there and find someone who is honest and don't get involved too soon. Know the person well first. Take care.

You hav attraction with her its not toooooo longer so i should advice u to b patience and m sure if she loves you she will clome back to u soon ....Dont worry everything gonna b alright..........

Hollywood, you've asked a legal question and no reply has addressed that and the only suggestion I have is to contact an attorney. Regarding the paint, dogs and furniture give away, I don't know how you place a value on that however, when I read below I do have a different opinion;

"I bought two really pretty diamond rings and asked her to marry me one day soon. She said of course and that she loved me"

In spite of what you've gotten from Elden and DB, I read this as her accepting a marriage proposal and if the asnwer is yes you have every right to expect the return of these rings. Depending on the value, I suggest looking into a small claims court action to recover the rings. There is a small filing fee and there are no attorneys involved, you simply present your case, she presents her defense and a jugge or trial magistrate decides for or against. Call the court house or sherrifs office and someone there will direct you to the proper offfice to initiate action.

Several years ago I paid a contractor for work he did not perform, and I took him to small claims and got every penny plus 14% interest. If you would like more information fromme on this send a note back and I'll be glad to assist. I would not let those rings go uncontested. 

Hi Hollywood,
You gave an emotional discription of one side of the coin.  I would love to hear what does she say (cause that is the key to understand the whole case).  All the answers ignored that basic point.  It is clear that she loved you too but at a certain point it changed.  Can you guess why ?  If she has a good convincing explanation you can do nothing (it's her right to change her mind and refuse to marry you [if she has a good reason for it]).  You painted the house, bought the puppies from your own good will (no one forced you to do it).  As per the rings: B4 going to court you should ask them (officially) back (she might return it to you without problems).......  Only if she refuses you might have a case (not 100% guaranteed).
Best regards.

Best regards,
