[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 756623, member: 24254"] Well, he had broken the lawn mower to begin with last summer and never had it repaired. So he finally took responsibility for his actions like an adult should, and replaced it. I would accept it and not worry about where it came from. But, it's no extra favor - adults replace or fix the items they break. So why would you feel foolish? Don't accept little things as huge expressions of love or appreciation. Put it in its proper place. He broke it and he replaced it. Not in due time, but he did it. It doesn't change the fact that you no longer want him living with you. 2 years is enough. You want your space back. It's understandable. 2 years is plenty of time to get your life sorted out. I think addicts have an amazing radar for things to come. I agree with the others that he is sensing a chance in you and is trying to protect his current situation by finally doing the right thing. [/QUOTE]
