So I have a new mate hes charming smart funny (drop dead goregeous) lives fairly close by (if iowa is close) and, like me he understands that we've both been hurt too many times before to just give up this relationship and hurt each other. Enter: my mom and dad. Breif profile: southern baptist traditionalist set in their ways and violently opposing anything different. Between my mom constantly gkving me lectures on the sins of homosexuality and my dad shouting at me saying what a disgusting perv I am. I get no respite other than when I stay up all night. Im honestly beginning to regret coming out to them in the first place...and holy shit am I glad they both stay well away from furaffinity. Anyway, it just drives me crazy that people will say one minute 'i still love you, your still my son' and the next, they all but disown you because you do or say something slightly off color in public. (of course ' off color' with my family is way out in left field for most people) hell my mom thinks I only came out of the closet because it was 'the cool thing' to do. I still dont have the heart to tell her though, that most of my friends growing up were also boyfriends...well regardless. Last time I listened to anyone other than me and my mate about a relationship. It ended up with two broken hearts besides my own. So ill be damned if I let any one other than nate tell me we wont work out!
