“A relationship without respect is a slow death” — Ethan Kim

In 2022, he paid his brother for a truck. He didn’t have a license because he owed so much back pay for child support for his daughter and was finishing up his DEEP class. He asked me if I could register it in my name so he could drive it for work. I asked him if he wanted to be put on the registration for it because it was his truck. He said no because if the cops ran the plates they would see him on it and know he didn’t have a license.

On July 28, 2022 he had me sign the bill of sale. On July 29, 2022 him and I both went into the town office and registered the vehicle. We both agreed that when he got his license back that I would “sell” back the truck to him and he would register it in his name.

On October 2, 2023 I filed a PFA against him. We had once again got into an argument about his sons behavior. We were arguing about an incident (again) at the rec program and I went to grab the paper back out of his hand and he pushed me. He then proceeded to scream and said “I hope you do have MS and you die” in front of all 4 of the children.

He tried to take the truck and I told the officer no. I told them it was in my name and that he didn’t have a license. I met the officer at the police station to exchange his items and the officer let me know that he was told that I stole the truck. That I went down to the town office one day while he was at work and registered it illegally. I started to cry. How could he lie like that to an officer about me? I told the officer and showed him the papers. I showed him the date and how he can go back inside and look at the cameras from that day and see he was standing right next to me.

After speaking with the officer and my attorney, I was told I could get a subpoena for the video if he wanted to move forward with the accusations.

He didn’t. He proceeded to tell his family and mine that I was crazy. That I slapped him. He told them he paid all of my bills and that’s why he had no money. He told them I stole his truck. Meanwhile he still owed half of the rent and refused to pay it.

So I sold the truck. I dropped the PFA. And I still went back to him.
