[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 557212, member: 14557"] I'm not from NA, so i really don't have an answer on your question. But if you want to provide him gas, could you do that directly? Maybe even have a condition to that? Tell him, that if he does this or that for you, you will fill his tank every two weeks. make him earn the gas. If he is not willing, he doesn't need it that much. If he blamed you of 'moneying' him instead of loving him, you may want to own that and tell him, that it may be possible that you have showed your love to him in a way that felt to him like just trying deal with him with money. You are not making that mistake anymore. You love him, but you don't give him free money, because that has offended his sensibilities. Instead you are willing to offer him a possibility to earn the help. How about offering him some yard work (and a decent meal) and the promise to drive with him to gas station and fill the tank after he has done it? [/QUOTE]
