    I'm here because my boyfriend is a crossdresser who just came out to his parents and they rejected him, and are trying to keep us apart now. He asked and I lent him my clothes because he's not comfortable in his own skin and I desperately wanted to help him but his parents won't let me explain myself.

    I've being dating him for near on five months and throughout that time I have tried to give my old friends as much time as I can- but they hate him and one asked me to uninvite him from youth group 'so he can talk to me' which he never has done before at youth, one used to be my best friend before I went out with him, and promised me we would be friends 'no matter what' but then played the 'friends don't go out with friend's exes' card she went out with him for a month before, but I was his first girlfriend a year ago, and now she won't talk to me. The group they belong to is a really cruel group who torments people with spiders and teases a particular person horribly and today one of my oldest friends asked me to start spending more time with my old friends. When I told him that I wasn't because they weren't good friends and it had nothing to do with my BF we had an argument.

    They've never being good friends and I've always meant to bring the friendship down to a casual level, but they refused to me now I have, which I don't really care about, honestly. I've being spending lots of time on my own since my friend decided I was a waste of space for dating my bf and realised I'm a lot better off now than I was.

    I guess I'm just concerned about whether I did the right thing. Now his parents are trying to seperate us now he's come out to them about crossdressing and won't let me see him outside school and probably want us to break up but I love him and won't do that. I refuse to let him go.

    I'm also feeling a little low. I have no friends but my best friend who lives in another town and my bf. I'm glad my parents have supported me though. I don't know how I'd cope if they hadn't.

    Wow, well, first off, welcome (although, I'm a newbie too, hehe)

    Secondly, I think you should trust your judgement--and it's something we all have to do--get rid of friends who do not deserve our friendship.. I had to do it when I was younger for some of the same reasons, but it gets better and eventually you find people who accept you and the ones you love for who they are.

    Anyway, haha, didn't mean to turn into.. that little rant on your intro post, just wanted to say that I think you know what's best for you, and I think you're really brave for standing up for what you believe in.. it can be bloody hard to stand up against friends, I get that, I think we all get that, so good on you.. :slight_smile:

    Welcome to EC! (*hug*) That sounds rough, but it's good he has someone like you to support him, if only in spirit for the time being. ^-^ I'll bet you both have something to be thankful for this week!
