Advice needed

Ok so I moved out of my ex’s house back in August 2020. We dated for 6 years and moved into a house together in October 2018. We technically broke up in November 2019 but we had a house together and I continued to live in that house for nine months. We weren’t officially dating but we still acted like a couple, slept in the same bed every night, still had sex, and all the other couple-y things. I got a job that required me to move out of state to my grandparents house. I bought every single piece of furniture in my ex’s house (that was the agreement when we moved in together) and had most of my things still there when I moved out. I went from having a whole house to a single bedroom for all of my things. My ex and I ended on good terms and remained friends for a few months after I moved out. We both helped each other out. He let me keep my things at the house until I could find a place to put them and I paid the cable bill for a few extra months just to help him out financially. The only things I took with me were a futon and a table that had been in my family for generations. I told him that I would come back for the tv that I had purchased for the living room. He said I could take whatever I needed and leave my stuff for as long as I needed. In September he broke my tv by accident. I told him that I wasn’t mad but that I really wanted that tv and I wanted to be reimbursed for it. He said he would pay me for it when he had the money (this man makes good fucking money, he could’ve easily given me the money that tv was worth) but I didn’t want to start trouble so I told him that he could pay me when he had it. He proceeded to buy a brand new tv to replace my tv that he had broken for the living room. He then broke THAT fucking tv and proceeded to buy another brand new tv to replace that one. So in one month he broke and replaced two TVs. I still wasn’t mad. I was trying to be nice. But I brought it up to him and said if you can afford to buy two brand new TVs in one month then you should be able to pay me for my tv that you broke. He made up an excuse and once again I told him he could pay me at a later date but that I did want the money.

Here is where the next story begins. One of my best friends I’ve known since childhood had been dating this girl for four years. They hung out with my ex and I and my ex was always very close with my friend and his girlfriend. I have always hated her because she was a manipulative, stuck up bitch but that’s beside the point. They dated for four years and in September 2020 they broke up. IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking a week later) after they had broken up my ex and my friends ex started hanging out by themselves all the time. They were seen shopping together, going out to dinner and bars and she even started spending the night at his house. My friend confronted him about it and they gaslighted the fuck out of everyone saying that “nothing was going on” which we all new was bullshit. I was hurt by this because they started dating way too fast after they had just ended long term relationships with me and my friend. Feelings like that don’t develop overnight.

Anyway back to the previous story. November I saw him drinking at the bar with this dumb bitch and her friend (her friend dated another one of my friends from childhood and cheated on him so I didn’t fucking like her either). I was a little drunk and told him to come outside to have a drink with me and our friends. When he came outside I flipped out on him and told him what a piece of shit he was for messing around with her and that he lied to my face about so many things and pretended like nothing was going on when I knew the truth the whole fucking time. I called him out on his bullshit and told him how his actions were hurting me and our best friend and he literally had nothing to say to me except that we weren’t dating anymore and he didn’t owe me anything and he could do whatever he wanted.

So fast forward a few weeks and I’m trying to get the rest of my shit out of his house. Mind you we are in the middle of a pandemic. I live with my grandparents in another state so I don’t go back home often. We agreed I could come to the house and get the rest of my things thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving weekend rolls around and he won’t respond to my texts asking when I can stop by the house. He doesn’t text me until that FRIDAY and proceeds to tell me that I’m not welcomed at his house. He won’t let me come get my things and that he gathered everything and would be dropping it off to my sisters sometime that weekend. At this point I was pissed. I called my sister and luckily my ex agreed to let her go to the house to get all of my things. I told her to remind him that he owed me money for the November cable bill (I told him I would no longer pay for it back in October and he agreed he would pay for the bill until I cancelled it). I also told her that she needed to remind him about the tv money he STILL, after four months, owed me. He lied to my sister saying he didn’t owe me any money for a TV, which my sister knew wasn’t true. And then proceeded to tell me that he would pay for the cable bill but that he didn’t owe me anything else because I lived in HIS house for 9 months rent free. Rent free? I bought all the groceries, I paid for the cable bill, did all the cooking and cleaning in that house so it wasn’t rent free. Not to mention he literally told me I could stay at the house. He told me he wanted me to stay, that he enjoyed my company and then the pandemic hit and we were quarantined together. I told him I could leave and would leave whenever because like I said we were technically broken up. But he didn’t want me to.

I know that I shouldn’t have yelled at him at the bar but I was just so tired of being gaslighted and taken advantage of by him! I need advice. How do I get the furniture that I paid for out of his house when he changed the locks and literally won’t let me in his house. Oh yeah he also owns a lot of guns and I wouldn’t be surprised at this point if he threatened me with one if I showed up to try and take what I bought. I tried to be civil and I tried to stay friends with him and be nice and let him have the furniture and everything but I’m done being nice now. How can I get my things back?
