^I agree with the others too. Maybe he still has a little bit of a bad experience from the other person. Your relationship is different from his prior. But, it sounds like he really loves you and feel you deserve LV which is why he's offering. Give him the chance to show you how much he cares. Again, he is offering and not like you demand it. That is a gesture of his sincerity.
mich- as long as he is offering, it is lovely. i get the impression the ex expected/demanded LV, and that's not so lovely. there in lies the diff, probably. he prob wants to make you happy, i'd let him!
