Okay, so that circle only grew by three people, but now I have five, and five is still a good number. My parents have known since june, and my dad is still in the 'I will belive it when I see it' mode. It started about two and a half months ago when I had a therapy session, and I told her. Last month she asked me "have you told your brother and sister in law yet?" We had talked about it, but I had not yet told them two months ago. Last month she kept asking me "why are you making excuses when you dont belive they will be put off by your sexuality and will embrace you just the same?" Well, I enlisted my mothers help. She didnt tell them, but she got the hint, and put my on the spot when my brother and sister in law were here a week and a half ago. Thankfully she put me in a position where it would be easier to tell the truth then shy away from it, and my brother and sister in law's reactions were what I expected... including the part where they said they didnt think the dog would be as accepting of me now, but it doesnt matter, Dexter spends all day chewing his ass anyways, so it didnt change his routine. So, now I have five people in on this part of my life.
Am I the only one who thought of something dirty when I read the thread title? Still, good on ya! Congrats!
Congratulations! Five is a very good number =) ps. I also kind of wondered about how this thread would manage to uphold PG rated values at first, so you're not the only one Holly =)
Oh thank god. I just thought I had a dirty mind. Well, I do anyway, but at least I'm not the only one.
