How to get over someone without no contact

Is this even possible?

I want to break up with my boyfriend but he owes me a reasonable amount of money ($1700) and if I just break up and block him then I’ll probably never get that back.

So my question is, how do I break up and heal without cutting off all contact with me cus a bitch wants her money ha ha.

Or shall I just save myself the stress and block him after breaking up? This was a toxic relationship by the way and there was abuse in different forms so I know it’s a long road ahead for me to heal but I do feel positive about 2022 and I’m happy to say that I will be single.

Right now it’s not like I can just break up with him I’m away from my apartment and he has my keys so I was thinking to wait till I’m back and then maybe go to a public place and do it there.

It sucks because he’s really friendly with my neighbour and I feel my neighbour would even let him in our building the neighbour and me don’t really talk so I don’t wanna have to tell him we broke up don’t let him in but I might have to and the thought is making me cringe I hate people knowing my business.

This turned it in a rant real quick ladies lol! If your still reading could you pls advise me on to whether I should go no contact and let the money go or try hustle it out of him cus I deserve the money. Thankyou ! And god bless you! And your families!
