    Long story short, my mother knows Im gay but is being indenial about it.

    She keeps constantly reminding me that one of my "obvious" gay cousin has a girlfriend and keeps pressuring me to do the same thing. She constantly keeps asking me when Im going to get married (to a girl) and when Im going to have kids. Today one of my relatives called (like 6am literally!) and said I have to get married and kept on bragging and annoying my mother and pressuring her to get me married and get a wife. I am absolutely sick of this. Right now Im about to make a deal with my self that the next time somebody asks the same or similar question, Im just going to come out there and then. I dont care what the consequences will be or how much it will hurt somebody.

    Please guys I need some help, Ive been very angry recently thanks to this and havent eaten properly either I feel sick...:tantrum:

    Unfortunately there isn't much you can do to change their denial. They will learn to accept it in time, however. I know it's not what you want to hear, but you'll have to just rise above it for now. Perhaps they'll stop when you get married to a man :lol:

    But if you really want your mom to stop, I'd recommend setting a serious tone and directly telling her that it bothers you when she tells you to find a girlfriend and that she needs to stop.

    Yeah! That is exactly what I want to say, but she is sick and its killing me to do such a thing. Im a really kind sensitive person. I am strong, but dont want to hurt her :frowning2:
    Other than that, I guess Ill have to threaten her with "next time this happens, ill tell them myself" unfortunately :frowning2:

    You can tell her without hurting her, just tell her you wish she would stop pressuring you to find a girlfriend. There's no offense to be taken in that. It's all about how you phrase it.

    True, but I just get so angry when she does that to me. Its like she disrespects me and hates me. Thats how I feel. This is my own mother, she doesnt deserve me lying to her about myself.
    She keeps telling me that she wants me to have kids so she can be a grandmother. I told we you have 4 girls who are all straight and will surely bring my countless kids, how am I going to affect your life?
