Today, my boyfriend asked me to meet his parents over Christmas. I was ecstatic. But there was one condition: I must go dressed as a girl since he hasn't worked up the nerve to come out to his parents yet. We've been dating for over a year. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had my girlfriend over for dinner with my family. My father had dressed up as a girl for a recent gig of his at a local pub. This got somehow brought up at the table. The rest of the dinner conversation consisted of him and my girlfriend discussing bras and lingerie. FML
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 invited my boyfriend to come to an event to meet some of my friends for the first time. I had been raving about him for weeks, and everyone was curious to meet this "amazing guy" I'd been dating. He showed up in a Darth Vader costume because he thought it would be funny to embarrass me. FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend of a year and a half to meet my parents. Turns out he dated my mom. This should be a fun dinner. 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
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
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, I decorated my boyfriend's house for Christmas as a surprise, just in time for him and his family to come home. Also just in time for him to tell me he's Jewish. FML
Today, I went with my fiancé to meet his parents. He was really sweet the whole way there, and once we got there he introduced me as "he girl I'm going to marry." His parents took one look at me and said, "Are you sure?" I laughed, because I thought they were joking. They weren't. FML
Today, my girlfriend went shopping at Victoria's Secret with me. While she was in the fitting room, her parents walked by and saw me. They don't approve of the store, so I panicked and told them I was considering becoming a woman. FML

That sucks. Tell him to man the hell up and come out. He has no right to ask you to dress up as a girl. FYL.

While, this does suck a lot, I can kind of see where he's coming from. My best friend is gay and isn't out to his mom (his mom and dad don't speak) because she wouldn't accept it. When one thing could mess up a possibly close relationship with their parents it's scary. But, you need to tell him if he wants this to last since it's obviously already serious, he needs to consider telling them. They're his parents, they SHOULD love him either way, but I understand how scary it is

I have to agree with a few commenters.. OP you've got two options. Either he mans up and you can happily go with him to the Christmas get together, or he doesn't man up and you don't go. I can't agree more with what someone said. He cant expect you to dress as someone youre not just so he can cover who he really is. Cheer up dear :)

Your boyfriend watches too much TV.

Well, how do you look in heels? Ok, so if you did this would you have to repeat it every year? Maybe you will say you had "the operation" in order to explain? Naa, best to put your foot down and tell him to man up about being gay. hehe

just go as a friend.. let them have a chance to know you as you before they find out your gay.. things may go smoother that way;)

this is by far the stupidest thing I've ever heard (and believe me, I've heard a lot).
