I'm currently dating my bestfriend and I don't know how to tell her that I'm gay. I realised that I've been going from one heterosexual relationship to another because I was afraid of coming to terms with it. My girlfriend knows everything about me and my past yet I've been keeping this from her and I feel horrible. I'm really stuck with what to do now, my girlfriend is also my flatmate and I know she will be crushed if I tell her and make living circumstances really awkward. To make things worst we live together with 3 other best friends and we do the same degree. Any advise is good advise! I feel so alone
First things first: You came to the right place if you feel alone. People will ALWAYS help you out here. I think that you should start by gauging her attitude towards homosexuality.(Starting out with the obvious advice). I would then move on to your other faltmates, if you plan to tell them. If they/she are okay with it, I would just be honest with her. Tell her how you feel and that for a long time you were trying to come to terms with who you are. I would also apologize for lying to her all this time, just in case she might be fumed. (Not saying that has a huge chance, but it could happen). ---------- Post added 14th Apr 2014 at 01:44 AM ---------- Sorry, sent it before I could say this: Just remember: you are who you are, and exceptiing that is the majority of the battle: The finish is in sight.) -Copyright Soneel Neumann 2014
