My ex and I broke up 2 weeks ago, and he won't talk to me. He owes me $200. Should I try to get it back from him, or should I forget about it?

What was the $200 for and what were the circumstances of the breakup?

We dated for 6 months and everything was great. I live in California, and he did too until he moved to Colorado for a summer job. He visited me a month ago and everything was great. I visited him 2 weeks ago, and the day I got home from the trip, he broke up with me because he wasn't "feeling it anymore". He refuses to talk to me. I feel like I'm the one who broke up with him, by the way he is treating me. Now I'm just mad because he text me the other night and told me that he misses me, and that he's sorry for being such a d*ck. (his words) Now he's still being mean, and I don't know why. A couple months ago, he asked me to buy a plane ticket for him and he would pay me back. Well he never did. Should I ask for it? If so, how should I ask? I'm so mad at him and I just want him out of my life. I've cried myself to sleep every night for two weeks, and I hate that he's doing this to me. I didn't do anything to deserve this. I want to know why he's ignoring me. I'm at the point, where I just want my money, and I never want to talk to him again. Any advice?

I would chalk it up as a learning experience and move on. Don't use the money as an excuse to keep in contact with him. The most important thing right now is to focus on no contact.

Maybe six months down the road, after you're over him, you can ask him to pay you back, but not now.

Can you block him from texting you? If so, you should (also calling, emailing, IM'ing, etc).
