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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

A. Shout out to the mods for saving me from becoming an angerball. I've had my fill of ignorant slurs for the year. B. OP, I'm of two minds on this one because he may be a great bf. Everyone's coming out experience is different so whether your family was supportive or they weren't but you had to do it anyway, try to understand that he is terrified of losing his family. Maybe it's justified, maybe it's not. Is it possible for you to go as a friend or a flatmate (if applicable)? Also, is it possible he is suggesting this because it's destined to fail and will force his sexuality to be revealed? Best of luck and FYL.

OP that really sucks. I wish people could stop being so cruel and judgmental to people love differently. But I wouldn't give up on the guy you're dating just yet. Coming out is really, really hard. And if you come out before you're ready, it can make your life hell. I made the mistake of coming out in a Christian school and it almost cost me my life. I would ask your guy when he would be okay about coming out. If he says he won't be ready for a long time, then I would consider finding a new guy. Hang in there OP. And give your guy lots of support. Good Luck. :)

TicTac, have you checked to see if you're eligible for Social Security Disability? Because with this comment, and a previous comment bitching about people typing paragraphs on FML, I'm beginning to think you're actually legally retarded.

154: At the same time, I don't think anyone wakes up and goes "Oh I think I'll be gay today. You know, just so I can be the subject of discrimination and abuse from uneducated asswipes."

this is just stupid. Are the parents so numb they won't be able to tell? and what's the point of meeting them if it's not the real you?
