It's not even funny. My brother is in the U.S. army and is therefore very busy nowadays... We were Skyping each other earlier today (which is rare, because, well, he's so busy). We were talking for about half an hour and I suddenly felt like it was time. I mean, he's my brother, the first friend I had in my entire life. I felt like he should know. And he'd be the first family member to know, so that's a big step towards coming out to the entire world. But... He suddenly went offline, and I'm guessing it was for some sort of emergency. As I said, he's very busy in the military and everything... UGH. I'm so disappointed. x-x :bang: :dry: But, the time will come. :3 And atleast that means I don't have to worry right now what he thinks of me, lol. Besides, his job is more important than my coming out... Ah, just a bit frustrated is all, lol.
Gahh I bet that was a very nerve-wracking moment for you and disappointing when you couldn't tell him. I'm sorry.</3 Hopefully the next time you'll have enough time to tell him. No need to rush, your timing is all you. ♥ Goodluck~!
Hey at least you are a good sister and you came out to your friends! Only some people, as in verrrrryyy few, actually know and none of them are my family but my brother's friends suspect me a lesbian :bang:
Thanks guys xx @Lucinda, it was, but oh well, you're right One day :3 @Sam, lol, just ignore them or kiss a guy to prove them wrong. ...one or the other
I'm so terribly, terribly, terribly sorry for what I'm about to say - people might think I'm a terrible person for saying this. And I'm certain there will be an equal number of people who will agree - If your brother is deployed, especially if he's a combat unit, wait until he comes home or is at least stateside before you come out to him. I'd never say such a thing if I hadn't seen such a large number of my friends crushed by family woe such as parents divorcing, their own wives divorcing, best friends dying, and so on. I don't know you, I have the utmost respect for you, as I'm in no different boat than you by visiting this site for words of encouragement. And again, my most sincere apologies for sounding even slightly contrary to the purpose of this site or it's philosophy. 100% of me wishes and hopes that your brother will be happy, supportive, and love you more after hearing what you have to say, but, being seeing what my dearest friend went through when he and his fiance had trouble and he was in Iraq - I wouldn't wish that stress on any man. If he's not deployed - best of luck!
Not the easiest thing to do especially when you are me and not the most attractive girl at all and carrying a little fat.
I understand. Now that I think about it -- maybe it wasn't quite a good idea. He IS currently deployed in Afghanistan right now. He comes home in March though, so I can tell him then. I'm not mad, you're right, lol. I'm just being derpy (as I'd like to call it). Maybe it was a good idea I never came out to him. ---------- Post added 24th Feb 2012 at 06:37 PM ---------- Walk up to a random guy and kiss him. Simple lol jk
Hope it goes well when he gets back home. When you're all done - tell him we said "Thank you for your service!"
Hi there! Still be proud of yourself for trying. With every try, you are getting a step closer. When your brother is coming home in March, why not invite him to a coffee shop or for lunch and talk to him then...
Aw, so close D: Well, at least this gives you the chance to talk about it with him in real life, and when you aren't so pressed for time. Good luck when the time comes~!
My first response was that how can a job be more important than your relationship with your brother until I read the post by cscpio. With further reflection I agree, I cannot fathom being overseas and having you share this detail of your life with me over skype/phone. I am sure that when he comes home in March, you will find the time and place to share this with him. Much more meaningful face to face and without his worry about his own personal security at the time. Go with grace..
I thought for so many times I would tell my brother (who is three years older than me) about me, but every time I was just too scared to do that
