Today, I found out my mom thought I was a lesbian because I dated a girl in high school. I didn't date anyone in high school. Apparently, guys never asked me out because my best friend told everyone that I was her girlfriend. I had a two-year lesbian relationship that I never knew about. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. 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, I found out that my crush is a lesbian. Everyone knew about it. Everyone also knew that I liked her. No one told me. FML
Today, I found out everybody at work thinks I'm a lesbian because they thought my boyfriend was a girl. FML
Today, I found out that my entire school differentiates me from another girl in my grade with the same name by saying, "No, she's the lesbian one." I'm straight. FML
Today, a "friend" of mine told everyone that I had a crush on a girl I used to be really good friends with 2 years ago. I never liked her that way, and had said that only to hide the fact that I'm gay and don't feel safe with boys. Her current boyfriend is seriously annoyed with me. 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, I told my mom I was with my female friend last night, because I wasn't ready to tell her about my new boyfriend. I didn't realize he gave me a hickey and now my whole family thinks I'm a lesbian. They won't stop making fun of me. FML
Today, I found out that my friends were convinced that I was gay. I have known most of them for 3 plus years, they all thought my girlfriend was a special shopping partner. I found this out while announcing my engagement. FML
Today, I learned that the girl who severely bullied me in highschool for being a lesbian just came out as a lesbian. FML

Lesbihonest, you completely knew about it, didn't you?

Oh man, the same thing happened to me in high school. My best friend told everyone that I was his girlfriend, so I ended up with no dates or boyfriends. I didn't find out until a couple of months after school ended, when an attractive guy from my class said he had a crush on me for the longest time but didn't want to approach me because I was already taken. All those years of feeling like I was this ugly, repellant monster that no guy wanted suddenly made sense.

Was used in Pitch Perfect, but no.

I actually didn't know it was in Pitch Perfect. I hate that movie and didn't make it past 20 minutes.

**** blocked.. I'd dump her! :] and let everyone know your single and ready to mingle, with men only.

Wow. Your best friend is such a good liar that even your mother believed her.

Was/is your best friend a lesbian? Or was she just being a bitch and trying to keep people from being with you, so that she'd have a chance? There has to be more to this story. I don't see how you didn't find this out sooner.

I doubt op's friend would claim to be part of a lesbian relationship if her goal was to attract men. Likely, it was a joke that got out of hand.

I wish I'd thought of that one. Kids were so afraid of me in school that they wouldn't even try to date my little sister until I graduated and moved away. I had a couple friends with poor decision making skills that could have benefited from this prank.

How did your mother know this and you didn't?!

Because mothers know everything before we do

You might not be able to change the past, Op, but nothing's stopping you from making up lost time Now! Good luck with that! ;)

You two must not make a cute couple if no one ever said anything about it to you. Usually people are all "awe! You two look great together" with most relationships.

I guess it depends on how close the OP and her friend are. Some girls make jokes about being lesbians or how great they'd be as a couple. If other people made the same jokes, the OP might not have found it strange. That's how my best friend got away with pretending to be my boyfriend for so long. In hindsight, it was really obvious. But at the time, I just assumed people were making jokes about us being a couple because we were such good friends.

I find it rather implausibke that you did not know this, I mean you could ask others about such issues.

Maybe the two were rather recluse (or just OP) so she was oblivious to others thoughts/opinions/knowledge of her. Does seem pretty far fetched though.
