Relationships and coming out

*yawns* I’m sleepy. But then I’m sleepy pretty much every day I have to wake up early lol. Blogger is not letting me into some blogs, anyone else having this problem? It´s so annoying.

A post from Angel girl made me want to tell you guys more of my story. So I’ve lived in Chile most of my life, and after college I went to live to the US (cause I was born there). So while I was there, I met this girl that I had been talking to online for a really long time, and we had become really close friends, and for the first time I realized “wow, I might have more feelings for her than just friendship”. That was quite a realization, I couldn’t really believe it at first, that I was falling in love with a woman. After like 8 months of living in San Diego, I moved upstate NY to be with her. Things with her were never easy, but I’m stubborn, and I loved her, or thought I did I’m not sure anymore, so I had to give things a try. But it didn’t work out, I lived with her for 2 years, and we would fight so much, things were really bad. So I came back to Chile, and I didn’t want to be with a girl again, cause my experience wasn’t really the best, plus I didn’t want to have to face my family telling them I was gay. I dated a few guys, but things never worked out, I have to say that I really tried dating guys, but I was just not happy with them, I never felt like I was in love.

So while I was trying to date guys, I met my actual girlfriend online, and things with her felt so right, and natural, and even though I was with her for just a week, I was completely happy then.

Angel girl, I’m sure it must be very hard that your parents still don’t know. I was really scared about telling my mom, but one day she just asked me, and of course I couldn’t deny it anymore. I know she’s not happy with it, but she sorta accepts it I think. My dad it totally cool about it, and my sister rocks, they just want me to be happy. My brother doesn’t know cause I really don’t get along with him. I think I’ll tell some of my friends when I actually have my girlfriend with me, I don’t really want to tell them before that. I know that a lot of my friends won’t take it that great, but I guess that shouldn’t matter as much.

I’m a little scared about my girlfriend moving here, I have to admit that. I mean, we were only together for a week, and she’s moving to a different country, she knows only a little spanish, so I know things won’t be exactly easy. I’m just hoping for the best for both of us.

Thanks everybody for your comments, I love reading them! :)

So is your girlfriend taking any Spanish classes before she moves down there?

OK, I have a stupid question. I may have missed the answer somewhere, so sorry if that's the case. Why did you and your family move to Chili? Did you like living in the United States? If you were born here, then you are a citizen, why don't you come back and then she won't have to learn spanish!lol I feel for her, I took french, it was easier.

Entiendo. El inglés será fino.... Sólo echo de menos a los Españoles. Me gusta leer su Blog en español, me ayuda a entender la lengua. Abrazos..... I think I said that right? Right!

Oops sorry about that.

Thanks for that post and the info about you. It's funny because in ways we are all in the same boat with different experiences. I know that eventually my parents will get over themselves if they want a relationship with me, and historically speaking I have come out to them once already 10 years ago so it won't be like it's completely new to them, just a change in thought from what they believe to the truth.

I say do what you feel is best for you in your situation. And just look at her moving there as a trial, she's not bound there if you don't work out. You are taking a chance on each other hoping that it will work out. There is nothing wrong with that.
