As for my boyfriend not asking about my cyst, I'm sort of used to it, he doesn't tend to ask about things that you'd assume most people would. It sounds like he doesn't care, that's not it though, he just literally doesn't think. I try not to let it get to me but sometimes it does. Don't get me wrong, it sounds like I'm being really down on him, he does make up for it in other ways and to be honest when he then does something which shows he cares it does then mean a lot more as I know he has had to really think about it (does that make sense?) but he's a great guy so I can forgive him for just not thinking sometimes.
Had a few texts from his mum last night, she's thinking of having a new years party now (well we say she is, his brother and boyfriend were round and we're assuming its more them wanting it) which I was annoyed about at first because when they were going round with his boyfriend parents at Easter and then we were invited they turned round and said if we were going it would be too crowded so they wouldn't go. Now we're going at new years and they've decided they all want to go round for a party! I felt like saying to him to text her back and say ''oh its up to you, but if they go we're not going to go'' (basically the same as them) but that is really only being awkward for his mum, who isn't the one who did it in the first place. I do think when he speaks to her he should point out that he's surprised they don't think it'll be too crowded with us all there.
