Ha, it's not likely they'll forget about us is it?! I was probably guilty of contacting him too little in the past, so a happy medium would be good for both of us I think. Hmm, interesting perspective about tests to fail for the texts, I might think about that a bit. And yes, I think it is progress for him to want to come, he's expressing far more interest in my life nowadays, and vice versa. That has to be a good thing. I've never tried to shut him out of my life before but perhaps I could have been more encouraging. I also need to make a fuss of him when he's there and sit with him when I'm not talking, because I'm a bit of a chatterbox and social butterfly I've left him to his own devices when he's come to anything social with my friends, but knowing how anxious he is that probably wasn't great for him. He does a lot of socialising with work but then he has his work persona on, so I need to be sensitive to him struggling in a new situation where he isn't the big cheese. Thanks Alison, will let you know how it goes
