Let me start by saying I know he's the one. I have never had any interest in showing anyone else to my parents. Though, it's not just that I want to, I NEED to show him to them. My parents know I'm moving away for school in the fall, but they don't know I'll be living with my boyfriend. They're constantly asking how I'm going to support myself through school and I tell them not to worry about it, but they demand to know. My boyfriend has finished school and works full time (he's 5 years older than me) and he said he'll support me through school.
My parent aren't really religious, but they have been in denial about my sexuality ever since I came out when I was 16 (I'm 20 now). Ever since I became more masculine looking my dad has been constantly suggesting girls to me. I think they're just afraid of being embarrassed. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. Is it really that hard to show acceptance of your own family and disregard the criticisms of others?
So I'm not expecting them to react nicely, and I know there's not really a more simplistic alternative, but I just felt like seeing what you guys may think. I plan to introduce him to them mid July.
If things don't work out (though I'm sure they will) I will just end up having to go on student welfare and bartend nights. It would be rough but I can't go back home.
My boyfriend and I had been best friends for about 2 years, but we've only actually been together for 3 months. We have been talking for over 8 hours a day for those 2 years and the feelings have been there since the beginning really. We have helped each other through depression and had both been cursed with severe acne which caused severe anxiety problems (which we've both overcame now). He had the courage to confess his feelings for me and we've been lovey dovey ever since. When we aren't together we fall asleep while talking on skype.
