My ex-boyfriend has a valuable Rolex watch of mine that he won't return. He claims to have no idea about it and that he does not have it in his possession. I've reminded him several times over the past few months. This is complicated since we had an affair and he wants to hide all of this from his wife. I think maybe he gave it to her as a gift. Can I sue for emotional distress since he said he asked his wife for a divorce and asked me to marry him, only to disappear one day with my Rolex in hand? I made significant changes in my life to prepare for marriage to him. He has lied about many things to many people I have come to learn. He has taken things from others and never returned them, despite them asking for them repeatedly. This is stealing, correct? I can prove a pattern of long-time deception as well as stealing. Do I have a case for both theft and emotional distress?
