<human>: I broke up with my ex of nearly 3 years about 2 months ago. We had a great, comfortable relationship and were best friends, however I felt my love had turned platonic and I was also having trouble accepting that he was always out of work or had some new scheme going on, he couldn't stick to anything.

Our break up was for the most part amicable. At the time it was mutual, we both agreed we had problems and needed to go our separate ways, but in the days/weeks following, he back-pedalled and wanted to get back together. I was pretty much his only close friend and he was/is really struggling. After our last conversation he deleted me off facebook because he didn't want to see my posts which is fair enough, but his sister and family also deleted me which was weird.

Over the course of our relationship I lent my ex a lot of money - he paid most of it back as soon as he could, but he still owes me $500. Now that we have gone firmly no contact how do I go about getting back the money without upsetting him - I know for a fact he will not have the money right now as he's unemployed again.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: ex boyfriend who recently cut off all contact with me still owes me $500 that I want back eventually, but I know he does not have the money right now. How do I go about reminding him/getting the money back?
