Standar family "gatho"

My family, except my mom, ask me the same thing all the time...I'm almost 21, I've never had a girlfriend, and they still haven't figured out that I'm Gay...

 

Oh yeah, I've definitely been asked why I haven't dated anyone/if I had a boyfriend. It sucks because there's nothing I want more than a relationship with someone and having to be reminded of what I don't have.

I realize that's not what you meant with this post, but yeah.

 

I am glad that my immediate family (brother and mom) doesn't care about such thing, while I rarely have to meet with more distant family member who sometimes ask such things.

 

My family is more worried about my mood swings ._.

 

Hang in there guys, you're definitely not alone. I get this all the time from my mom. I finally came out to her, mostly so she would stop asking.

 

I was at my cousin's wedding last week (not really a cousin, her mum and my mum are like sisters so she's really just honorary family), and my mother (who knows I'm bi/pan) kept making mention of all the patriotic army men (friends of the groom) who were present, and how I should go for one of them. I've just gotten out of a 4 year relationship with a man I was engaged to, and aside from it being too soon, I'm leaning more towards women these days anyway.

When my mum said there were nice men there, I added "...I'm probably more interested in the women", and she started on like "If that's what you're into, you know I support you, whatever you want, blah blah..." like shut up I can tell you're awkward about it and it only makes it more awkward for me when you rant on like that... :dry:

Later on in the night, the bride's mother said it was my turn to get married soon. Like, I WAS ENGAGED UNTIL NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS AGO :bang:

Eheh... I know that's not 100% the same thing but it was annoying haha. I hate the expectation that I will get a BOYFRIEND, meet MEN, etc, but there's never mention of the "...or women" part, or even just "partner", or "person"....
