Love on the Line: A Battle for Acceptance ️‍

In a world where love should be celebrated, one man found himself fighting for recognition in his own home. His partner, who he believed was openly gay, had been concealing their relationship from his parents. Now, with the parents due for a visit, he’s asked to play pretend and act as a mere roommate. Faced with this betrayal, our hero stands firm, refusing to hide who he is or who he loves. He’s now at a friend’s place, waiting for the storm to pass. But the question remains: Can their love survive this test? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this emotional tug-of-war.

NTA and I’m honestly stunned at the E-S-H and Y-T-A posts. Yes, maybe his family isn’t the most tolerant. I feel for him there, if that’s the case. However, he started and continued a serious relationship with you based on a big lie, one that he only confessed to when he was caught. He then immediately began to act like you’re the problem, when he’s the one who has been lying to everyone. Your conditions are more than reasonable, and the posts suggesting you play along for just a day…it’s NOT just a day. They’re staying at least for a night, and even if they leave the next morning, presumably they will visit again. When does it stop?

He can continue to lie to them if he wants, but you in no way have to be a party to it.
