HelloThere

So today at dinner the topic of marriage and having kids came up somehow and then I commented how I didn’t want kids. Mom responded with “that’ll change in a couple of years” and “you’re gonna fall in love with someone at some point”. I really did think for a bit that I would be off the hook on this by now, I’ve told them several times that I just want friends, kids and relationships just sound boring or unfulfilling to me. And once again she responds to that with “there’s nothing that’s more fulfilling than having a wife” and “having friends won’t fill that void” which is just WAY more than I thought would normally have been said. In 30 seconds mom managed to tear down all of my hope that they’d be super okay with this, now I’m worried that if I came out in two years then they’d just say the internet said I was, or that I was making it up. I really thought for a bit that they’d be okay with it.
