So if this is an infatuation and all fades away would it be a good idea for the family to know?


I find the whole thing a bit weird.

I would give it at least a few months and even then I might just share with supportive close family.
Even with all the acceptance in the world this will turn your world upside down with no going back. Be sure ths is what you want long term, and not just now, while it is new and exciting.

Why are you so eager to go from one "box" to another "box"? You were so, so straight...now you don't say you're bi but not exactly gay (only with him)...but you still want some definition.

It's only been TWO weeks! Can't you just slow down and experience it? It's like people so busy taking selfies that they can't even enjoy what they are actually doing - why do you have to tell anyone ANYTHING? With your last girlfriend did you tell your whole family after a couple weeks that you were a couple? What's the point?

Way too much drama.

Telling every one you are gay may have negative consequences eg; Be a shame if you tell your boss you are gay then he turns out to be homophobic and as a result you end up having to quit the job when he makes your work life a living hell because he doesnt like gays.

No,but then again I havent felt so strong about my ex gf.It is not a matter of ''excitement''.I am not a teenage boy who gets excited over nothing.I havent experienced anything like this in my life and I know that sooner or later I will have to go public since I do not intend to break up with him.It's obvious that we have strong feelings for each other.I doubt this will change anytime soon.

I am not gay.But everyone will perceive me as gay.Like I said I dont care about how they perceive me per se.The problem is how do I explain what is happening to me and be believable.I get that I will face the same stigma gay people face and yes it is making me somewhat anxious but my bf is supportive with this.

Stop the relationship and go back to women- you seem very confused right now. That is my advice.

You are in a relationship with a guy. You are physically intimate with the guy. Technically that makes you gay, in a gay relationship.
