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

I find it funny that op didn't realize her therapist and boyfriend had the same last name.

Why are you getting serious with a guy when you aren't even sure if you are straight. honestly, it sucks that his mom is your therapist, but I don't feel bad for you considering you shouldn't be meeting this guys parents in the first place and leading him to believe you really want to be with him when you aren't sure if you want to be with him or a women. Date around, experiment and see what feels right, but most importantly, tell the poor guy your dating before you decide you are gay afterall and you really hurt him.

I'm sorry if this offends you, but I really don't think it's that hard a decision. You are either one or the other or both. In my opinion, there's no confusion to be had at all, just decide.

Technically speaking, if you're not a valid patient and just someone who comes to her when she's not working, she could tell her son or anyone else for that matter. In this case, I hope you beat her to the chase if she decides to do just this.

I completely read that wrong. Damn dyslexia... I hope she's a law abiding therapist, because if not, that could turn sour really quickly.

well least she knows you, but seriously you should be able to talk to your boyfriend about it if you are serious with him.
