H is still trying to do nice things for me, his LL, and in doing so, he's showing me what he knows and perhaps feeling like he's doing what he needs to feed his ego. Should I try to find things for him to do for me? My car needs work right now, so there's that that can be done. Need new light bulbs, windshield wipers, etc. And if he does do that, should I tell him how much I appreciate it, without gushing? I am so afraid of sounding like I'm being fake.
