Today, I told my girlfriend I wanted to tell her something important. Coincidentally, she did too. She wanted to tell me that she thinks she's actually gay. I wanted to tell her I love her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I invited over my best friend, whom I've loved for over a year, since she had to tell me "something important". I got excited and thought she was going to tell me she loved me too. She ended up coming out to me, and wanted to know if I would meet her girlfriend. FML
Today, I learned that the girl I love thinks I'm gay. To be honest, I'm having doubts too. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that she's a lesbian. And that she could only stay with me because I had a "girly face and voice". She also admitted to having a crush on my sister. FML
Today, for the first time, I told my girlfriend of two months that I love her. She broke down in laughter and mockingly asked, "What are you, some kind of queer?" I could've sworn she was mentally older than a 5-year-old when I asked her out. I guess not. FML
Today, I talked to a girl I like. I tried to make her jealous by telling her I had a "thing" going with another girl. She looked deeply into my eyes and said, "Wait, aren't you gay?" FML
Today, I found out the reason my crush has been talking so openly to me. Not because she likes me back, but because she thinks I'm gay. FML
Today, I was texting with my childhood crush late at night and we were exchanging secrets. I figured this was as good a time as any to tell her about my long-standing crush on her. Turns out she's a lesbian. FML
Today, I finally told my girlfriend I love her. She corrected my grammar. 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 get to see my best friend and love of my life of two years marry the man she loves. Back then, I lied and told her I was gay to avoid her finding out my feelings for her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Save face and tell her that it’s very important for her to vote in the midterm elections. It’s even more important now that she’s suddenly in the LGBTQ community.

I did this to someone. I was in a relationship because I was begged, and I went with it. I was very much a lesbian but I didn’t know how to really express that. He was creepy and kept trying to include himself. I didn’t like it, she didn’t like it, it was a mess. Just let her go, you’ll be happier.

You can still love her, although being in love probably won't work. Women tend to be more gender fluid than men. she is obviously trying to find where she fits and how she feels. You can still love her as a friend and support her.

I dont think I've ever met someone emotionally stable enough for what you suggesting, Myself included.

I'd go for alternative #1 if I was you! If you really love her, it would be worth the risk!😉

Gender fluid would refer to her gender identity. Not to her sexuality. That being said - while a supporting friend is good, a supporting friend who's (understandably) hurt and maybe still somehow hoping they'll get back together is probably unhealthy for both in this situation. I'm sorry OP, this must be painful, but at least she was honest with you instead of letting you stick around until she made up her mind.

You can change your gender to a female, and then she will love you back! Ok, all joking aside, I'm sorry about your situation. The best thing you can do is move on. It'll be difficult but worth it. That way you can find someone who is meant for you.

You could try a polyamorous throuple?

OP, I think the only practical advise is to wish her well and give both of you the space to find someone else who meets your needs and can reciprocate - In other words move on. Gay or straight, not everyone we are attracted to is going to feel the same toward us. There is a time to give up and move on, and this is that time.

Been there, done that. Just remember: It could ALWAYS be worse.

At least she didn’t cheat on you with a woman before coming out to you
