So we were late to our own wedding. 
I think my mom secretly likes me being gay. she likes being a martyr at times. She told her pastor what a trial it is having a gay daughter who wants to get married, and a straight son who doesn't. ( brother is not legally married but has been with the same wonderful woman for 6 years and has 2 kids with her.)
I have been with my partner for 9 years but my folks seem to think it's a phase I'll grow out of. Everytime I talk to them on the phone they tell me "We just want you to be happy. "
Drives me nuts. |
Hey Red,
My parents couldn't give a rat's ass about my happiness. They said, "Being a Christian may not always make you happy. It isn't about your happiness, it is about obedience to the law." I am glad your parents at least participated in your ceremony. Mine would heartily protest and probably have Fred Phelps out in front with his signs.
9 years together! Wow! Congratulations! Keep showing them your love is real! I hope you never outgrow it.
