We broke up, now he's sorry

Back tracking a few months ago, the A I was having with my BFs H ended. I told my H who handled the matter gracefully. My BF was never told. All 4 of us have remained friends. We attend each others parties, etc. I told my extended family that I would hold the christmas party at my house this year. My dining room however, needed to be worked on and be painted, new trim, sanding, etc. I had asked my H to do it about a million times but he never did so I was doing it myself. I get a call from my exMM telling me that his W liked the colors I had picked out for my house and could he borrow the brochure? While trying not to be angry that they were stealing my choices, I told him to come by and get it while I was at work. I work 12 hour shifts, when I came home MM was there. He had spent nearly all day there, sanding, painting, etc. while my H was home with the kids. I almost died. We are NOT involved at all. We have maintained a friendship of sorts that I could live with. Then I find out that he paid for every bit of paint ($54.99 a gallon cause he wanted me to have the brand I wanted) and trim. He was over here busting his can to have the room done in time for the party. ALL WHILE MY H JUST SAT THERE! I let him do it but aren't sure of his reasons. I had tried to argue with him to not do it but he just said he wanted to do it for me. His W was okay with him doing this. I am blown away. I think he did it cause he is sorry for being a jerk but he said he just wanted me to be happy. Any thoughts???
