Mark Dain I'm thinking of coming out to my family although I'm not sure how. I've always waited for an opportunity when it's ideal to say but none has come up for some time. Should I just post something on Facebook? I don't know what to say. All I know is it's getting so draining saying "partner" and "they" and having to think before I say every sentence. It feels like I'm hiding and it's starting to really affect me.
😀 Tom Maybe just mention his name in a post, and if people react, just reply, "what the big deal?" or something along the lines like you're confused as to why they're all surprised. If your goal isn't to make a scene, then don't make a scene. If it's treated as a "matter of fact" like it's an everyday thing, then there will probably be more acceptance and not as much backlash. Don't get defensive, just act confused why they're making a big deal out of it if they react. I don't know, I'm not an expert, but good luck.

Mark Dain Thanks, I really appreciate it. I wish I had a name to mention but I'm single ... for now. Eventually I'll meet someone but I'm still crippled by a lot of anxiety over this.
