I think in such cases both things go together.
The lack of independence causes the need to borrow, and the need for dependance causes the need to keep the item.

This is a thing that really aggravates me  I would never ask someone for something and not give it back.. Because it would be on my mind all the time.
But in my experience nobody as the decency to give something back. So I never lend anyone anything now. |

"It's not borrowing is it.
It starts off as borrowing, what is it after a long period of time...theirs I suppose."
Yes but at what point in time, does the person come to presume that the item is now theirs - 3 months, 6 months, 12 months etc |

"Ignorant if I ever borrow anything it goes back soon as I’ve done the job. Borrowing and not returning is Theft really
Borrowing is not theft as someone give it to you .. just saying "
More moral theft. .  |

My son does this, borrows and doesn't give it back. He's had my pressure washer for over a year now. He wants to borrow my leaf blower but I,'ve told him it's broken. X |

"Once heard the saying ' if you lend someone a tenner and never see them again....it was probably worth it'
I dont lend stuff i want back..."
Yep wise words, dont lend anything you can't afford to lose. |

I lent my cousin money a few times and he allways said he would give it back (but he never did) so one night I was in town and I needed cash for the taxi and I asked him for a tenner which he gave me.. The next morning he had the cheek to knock on my door and demand it back lol.
So I thought to myself, you have never given me any money back and I refused to give it back to him.. That was years ago and we still don't talk lol. |

She didn't 'give' it, she loaned it to them. If she gave it, it would have been a gift. |

I never "lend" books that I treasure because we all know that lending equals giving where books are concerned.
I lent a bracelet to a colleague to wear to a wedding and it was some months before she gave it back. I couldn't understand why.  |
