Today, I finally got to meet my boyfriend's parents; it turns out that his mum is my therapist. I've just spent an entire morning telling her how confused I am about my sexuality. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally let my parents meet a boyfriend of mine for the first time ever. My dad mentioned how he was happy to finally meet him, because for the past 4 years he'd thought I was gay. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. My mother turned to me and said, "Wait you're actually gay? I thought you were just saying that to piss off your father." I came out to her when I was 16, and have confided in her about my past relationships. FML
Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my family for the first time. My mother's immediate reaction was, "We didn't know you were gay!" No mom, she really is a girl. FML
Today, I wanted my boyfriend to meet my parents. My mum introduced herself as, "I'm Petra. I'm completely normal." FML
Today, my mom asked if I was seeing anyone. I launched into a description of my girlfriend, only for her to interrupt, saying that she meant a therapist, and the fact that I'd just made up a relationship was further proof that I needed one. I really do have a girlfriend. FML
Today, I found out that my parents have thought I'm lesbian for at least a year. I now understand why my dad has been trying to get me to "hang out" with his co-worker's daughter. FML
Today, my mom called me into the living room to say that she had something important to tell me. She then explained how she and my dad had "talked things over" and wanted me to know that they accept me and love me no matter what. Apparently my mom thinks I'm lesbian. I'm not. FML
Today, my boyfriend invited me for dinner to meet his parents. Turns out his stepmother is my gynecologist. FML
Today, I decided to introduce my girlfriend to my parents by telling them that we were gonna have a very special guest for dinner. While my mom was preparing the meal she asked, "What does he like?" I'm straight. My parents thought different. FML

Why are you carrying on with the relationship, taking it to the next level of meeting the family, if you can easily go on for an hour questioning your sexuality? It sounds like you're leading the guy on until you figure yourself out. Maybe stop seeing him, but keep seeing his mom.

maybe if you guys are that serious you should be able to talk to your boyfriend about it too

Figure who you are first before taking things further with your boyfriend. Maybe talk to him about somethings? It's better than the awkward tension that will build between you two :/

Wow, now you'll get to see if that doctor-patient confidentiality is worth a shit. I believe she can't even acknowledge that she treats you at all. If she doesn't like you for her son, she'll bring you a flannel shirt and convince you to go full-out lesbian.

Ugh. Stereotypes. Come on, perdix.

#39, sorry, Doc, I wasn't thinking straight -- I just had some boobs forcibly jammed in my face against my will! ;) So, was I on track with the confidentiality bit?

hey she's your therapist, so she can't talk about yall conversation . legally speaking. but if its her son you never know... she could be like son she's in the closet.

We all have our own issues OP. I'm sure a therapist has heard a lot worse.

You'll probably have to change therapists now

She's a therapist, she should understand the line between professional and regular life.

On the plus side, she cannot reveal what you guys have been talking about as it would be unethical. However, it's not really cool that you're with a boy if you're that confused about sexuality, unless he knows about it and doesn't mind

I think you should talk to your boyfriend and tell him what's going on before his mom does. If he hears it from her, he might not trust you anymore.

I agree. If she's so confused about her sexuality that she needs to see a therapist to deal with it, she should figure that out before she gets in a serious relationship. Otherwise someone's probably going to end up getting hurt.

You couldn't connect the dots.. The fact their last names where the same didn't make you wonder? That would be a priceless, sounds like a Kodak moment..

Not all parents have the same last name as their children. My last name is jones. My moms is Johnson. Ever heard of divorce and remarriage?

Also, lots of people with the same last name are not related... Dr. Anjali Singh... Meet my boyfriend Rajandra Singh.
