Basically Idk what to do. I’m now 21, and at 16 I admitted to liking girls. For a while it wasn’t talked about, but neither of my parents are against it.
However, I started uni when I was 19 and whenever I came home my mum would ask about relationships (only specifically mentioning males). However I only met up with girls I was interested in.
This carried on every 6months or so, asking if I was into girls or a lesbian. I’ve stayed super honest with it.
I’m at my breaking point now though, I’ve just turned 21 and a few months ago I mentioned I went on a date with a girl. My dad has just brought it up and asked if I was into girls, which again, I said I was.
The issue isn’t them questioning per say, but continually asking making me think somethings wrong.
I haven’t been in a seriously relationship which I could understand could cause their issues. However I’ve been attracted to girls for years, to the point am I almost exclusively into women.
And tonight again it was brought up, with them questioning the ‘concept’ of being gay and I’m feeling rubbish.
I know, especially my dad (but also by mum kinda) wouldn’t have an issue with it but I can’t ‘out’ myself for like the 6th time.
If anyone has any similar issues I would love how you dealt with it xx
Thanks

Think they’re finding it hard to accept the change so I guess just let them take their time and ignore it when it becomes too much
