Yes, she has got other things as well, she hurt her ankle a few years ago and it has been a horrible experience for her as she has had to be in a brace for 3 years and she has just been diagnosed with a rheumatic condition. It has led to weight gain and she feels very unhappy with herself. Dad doesn't get that.
With regards to my BF we only see each other once a month. I think it would be a 180 for me to actually speak up and say that what she said really hurt me. I will try to do that next time. We are going to see Take That (an awesome pop band!) on Sunday night so I may get the chance then if she says something.
The date was nice last night. He took me for a nice meal and we chatted for ages. In fact I suddenly looked at my watch and it was 22.45! I was going to miss my train. He was a lovely guy but I didn't feel the earth move or anything. He might be a good new friend. I feel like I could do with some male friends.
