#still not out to my dad

I’m making this brief return to tell you guys about something that happened.

So, I was obviously feeling a bit down from my breakup, and my mum noticed. I was doing relatively alright until she asked what was wrong and if I was okay. So I just broke down a bit and she comforted me.

This woman straight up said: “So you two broke up.”

Keep in mind, I’m not out to her and she wasn’t even supposed to know I was dating someone. After I collect myself, I say: “I don’t still need to come out, do I?”

She laughed so hard she was sitting on the floor with literal tears streaming down her face. And you know what she said next? She said: “I may act oblivious, but I’m not stupid. You should see the way your eyes light up whenever you talk about your ‘friend’.”

Me, half-joking: “I’m sorry, I just don’t like men in that way.”

My mum: *jokingly* “you’re not really gay, you just haven’t found the right man, yet.” *can’t take herself seriously and snorts*

So that’s how I came out to my mum.

Note: my mum was joking on the last part, she’s totally supportive.
