    Do you think someone can have a good relationship while in the closet to their family?

    I don't think you can if you are living close to your family where you interact with them often. If you are very distant from them however it would work much better but it will never be a relationship like your other heterosexual friends have. That's from personnel experience.

    No most of the time, but if you love each other enough anything is possible.

    eventually you will find it easier to just come out. at that point your life will become more like floating on a cloud, then dodging downpour

    It depends on how close you are (emotionally and physically) to your family. If they live in the same area, there's the chance that someone you know may spill the beans or you might even be unable to have dates in places your parents and their friends would see you.

    If your relationship with your parents is one phone-call a week from a distant place, it shouldn't really be a problem, but hiding something like a relationship from perceptive and caring parents may be difficult, or just guilt-inducing.

    If you live at home and intend to make it long term. That's an almost definite no. That's just too difficult to get around and still be able to carry on a healthy relationship.
