So as some of you know I've been with my bf for 9 months on the 20th of Jan. In that time we've had some ups and downs. Times when both of us just wanted to throw in the towel and walk away. But thankfully we worked through such times as those and are still going perhaps deeper and stronger than before.

Anyways I guess I could start getting to the point...

We moved back in indiana a few days before Thanksgiving. My bf had previously been living in a house that his mother has owned for the past 11+ years or so. The only thing he had to pay were the utilities because the house was paid for and was basically setting there empty.

Well our plan was to move back to indiana, back into his place of previous residency which his mother owned. Well a few days before our move she basically told him that she would rather I not move back home with him. That I needed to get my life situated and move on with other things.

(I guess I should have mentioned my bf was not out at this time!)

Well with her saying that, needless to say both of us weren't in the best of moods considering we knew what was to come. With his bills and my bills needing to be paid and my not having my own house to come back to, the only thing we could do, was to once again go back to were we first started. Living in different cities, 4 hours apart.

About a week or so later, I went down for a visit. While being there one night helping my bf paint a room that his mother asked him to change, he called her pizza resturaunt and ordered a pizza to go. About 5 minutes later his phone rings, he picks it up and it's his mother on the other end. She starting telling my bf that his brothers were down there bitching and complaining about me, and wanting to know why we were spending so much time together. And that she really didn't care for him hanging around with me either. So he decided to go to the pizza place himself to pick up the order, whilist I stayed home and watched tv. Well another 10 minutes had went by and here comes my bf with the pizza. He walked in the door and basically said that all hell was breaking loose with his family. Well about 10 minutes had went by, and we were in the back of the house looking at the room just newly painted, when we heard a knock at the door. He made his way through the house and then I heard her voice. (His mother) I couldn't really make anything out because it all seemed to be total chaos. Well about a minute later my bf comes back to me and says; chad come out here mom wants to talk to you, I of course knowing what kinda of a hot head I can be at times, decided against it, he then went back into the living room and then I heard her say; never mind if he won't come out here then I'll go back there, and then BOOM! there stood his mother face to face with me. My bf was standing beside me and then out came the question; Are you two an item? (Silence, so thick you could have heard a hair hit the ground.) I had no reservations about telling his mother, I had no reason to hide it and would much rather her know, but out of love for my bf, I chose to let him be the one, when the time came, considering he wasn't out of the closet yet.

So. The question was asked yet again. And with my bf previously looking down at the ground, he raised his head and looked at his mother and with one breathe he spoke the words; YES! I guess we are an item, there now you know. I about shit myself, never did I think he would seriously tell her. But with him telling her, he instantly started to break down and was crying, so he turned and left the room and out of the house, leaving his mother and myself face to face in the back of the house.

Then she started to speak, telling me what she thought about me, about my bf, and about the whole situation etc. And for the first time in my entire life, I was completly calm. (No idea why, perhaps because he means so much to me) I then started to reply to her questions and statements, responding in a well mannered fashion. I basically opened a little of the gay world up to her, telling her what I and he and many others of us deal with while growing up. The thoughts that run through our heads about families and children and the american dream etc... About the stereotypes and the mislead information that ppl spat off about. And I believe in some way I helped her realize how very ignorant she was, and many others around the world are about us "gay" ppl. After the end of the discussion she walked over to me put her arms around me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, and told me that she would like for me to move down to live with my bf. OMG!? I was shocked and dumbfounded. So about 5 minutes later, his mother walks outside with me and around the corner of the house where my bf was sitting talking with his older brother about the situation that had just happened, she then spoke to my bf letting him know that it was ok, and that she still loved him and always will. And before it was all over with she turned around at all of us standing there and said; well get your things we're all going to the casino. I was about shitting myself. How in the hell could they be willing to go gamble and have fun over such news as this, not only was there son/brother gay, but here stood his bf as well.

Well it wasn't more than a week later when his mother called him up and told him that she didn't want me around, she didn't want to speak to me, nor see me. That I was a loser, and that she hated my fucking guts. My first repsonse to myself in my head was:

Get you get more fucking BIPOLAR than this?

Seirously! What I nor my bf knew was that one of his brothers and a friend of the families were feeding fuel to the fire and talking shit about us and what the town would think of their family etc. So now 1 month later I am about to take yet another step in our relationship and move back in with him. We are looking to get into a house within the next few weeks. It's roughly 15 minutes or so away from his family in another town. And even there we don't think it's far enough away. And his mother still thinks ill of me. Even with my having my own car, not living in her house, and working 50-70 hours a week, I'm still not good enough. Which goes to show, that 1. She'll never like me because I'm her son's bf, and she can't deal with his being gay. 2. She's a control freak and expects her children to do as she says even though their grown adults.

It's truly amazing and has be baffled at the fact that my bf is 37 and his mother still goes off the handle when they choose to think for themselves. I, myself sense a few issues, but I myself also have issues. Only difference is I acknowledge mine.

So as you can see, this has been one hell of a time as of late. I and the bf have only been seeing each other on the weekends, and haven't seen each other in the past two weeks due to bills needing paid. I can only hope that this eventually dies down.

His mother has bought a book about a mother dealing with her only son coming out gay as an adult. I hope that she finds some answers to her questions and god knows if she would talk with me I'd help her find any and all information...

Well thanks for the listen guys...

I thought the same thing. Who is scared of their mom at 37? My mother has been great since I came out 20 years ago(I'm 34) and never once did I ask her her opinion on MY life. Your bf needs to grow some balls. He ran out crying leaving you alone with his mom?! Oh boy! You may have worse problems than his mother.
 
Good luck to all of you. Are you two now living--or going to live--in your own place, no strings attached? I hope so, because it seems like your bf needs to cut the embilical chord, financially and emotionally.

There's also poison in the well, somewhere, with a brother(s) or whomever. If she's willing to be initially accepting, and then not, she has no spine. Either way, the whole bunch sounds like an emotional roller coaster in which it'd probably be best to put some distance. Your bf is a wild-card in this, you know. Ultimately, it's going to be up to him that decides how this all plays out, long term.

Good luck. I'm sorry this headache is happening.
 
I'm also with the others on bf getting some balls, the two of you going away to live on your own happily ever after...or you need to think of moving on and living happily ever after cos both your bf and his mom sound like they are co-dependent with serious issues.
 
I think the general prognosis is very positive.

Your boyfriend needs to seriously address his dependence issues. Living together in your own home away from his family is the best way to do this. He should stop doing any work for his mother such as working in her business, maintaining her property or accepting her charity.

The mother is very volatile reacting from her emotions first but she shows willingness to want to gain an intellectual understanding of the situation and preparedness to change her behaviour based on new information. I imagine 'family' is the motivating force in her life and her anguish at losing her son coupled with her matriarchal position will eventually force the rest of the family to behave more rationally. Also, if it's a large family, there are very likely other gay uncles, aunts and cousins here and there.
 
ReZ...this is not atypical. Family pressure is a big factor in overall acceptance. The mother is vascillating on her emotions because she is confused. Based on your account, she has demonstrated some level of understanding which was immediately smashed by pressure (and guilt) from the rest of the family....and now she's a train wreck! It is easy to say that you should distance yourself (more than 15 minutes away) from the whole bunch of them. However, what is more important now is your BF. He is a product of this family and, at 37, is a grown man, not a kid. I would suggest doing some real soul-searching and, while he HAS finally outed himself to the family, that is only part of it. He has accepted himself...they haven't. THEIR problem. With all due respects to your BF and you, if he doesn't get that, you have more than his family to think about.
 
Well first off, I want to thank all of you for atleast taking the time to reply to this thread. No matter what was said.

Now with his being 37 that makes no matter to me. Thats one of the things that attracted me to him. I like being mentally stimulated, to be able to have a discussion with someone thats been around the block a little. (yes granted he hasn't, but in the beginning I had no clue) But I truly love him now so that makes no difference.

Yes, his mother is very overbearing, and he's been a mamma's boy most of his life. He has only been living where he is now since we've moved back, and before that, he only lived there for roughly a year. For the past 11 years he lived hours away on the other side of the state, so he is one for having independance. I just don't know what got into him. His reason for moving back to where is is now, are personal and therefore I won't speak about them.

Our plans are to get into the house we are getting now, for roughly a year, and then we are looking to build a house on some land out in the country some place. That is yet to be decided. But have both put our resumes out there and are waiting to be picked up, who ever gets hit first with something good the other is going. So he is wanting to get further away, if I were to speak of everything I would be here for hours and you all would give up reading this...so its a basic overveiw.

I will agree he and his mother does have some issues. But who doesn't. Again, agreed, the choice is mine on wether I am willing to stay to see this through or not. And that I must live with what ever the outcome may be.

Am I being naive? Perhaps, but hell I'm young and I can only learn from my expereiences.

Thanks again guys. Your replies and advice are much appreciated.
 
best wishes to you both
hope the job comes through and you both are able to celebrate your lives
 
At least you tried...and succeeded, sort of. The rest is up to him. Does he have the constitutions to do right by you? If not, stop letting him eat up your precious life time.
 
Hey Rez,

Mate...it makes no difference his age..or yours. It makes no difference that he's been a momma's boy or that hes only coming out to her now. It makes absolutely no difference, as long as you guys are happy together.

As a community the one thing that we need to do more than anything is to be understanding and compassionate when it concerns the coming out process. Its a difficult and confusing time...and for it to have have happened the way it did for your bf would have been downright scary...as you can attest. He's a lucky guy to have you around for the support and comfort that he needs while his family sorts itself out.

And thats whats beautiful about your story Rez...and I hope you realise that. This is not a story about a bad time coming out. Its a story of love companionship and trust. This is a story about 2 people being committed enough and loving each other enough to withstand hatred and untruths, to make sacrifices and share each others load.

Good on you Rez. Things will ease with time...the truths will eventually come out and chances are his mum will revert back to her accepting you guys when she sees that you are a loving happy couple who keep each other safe and strong. It will take some time for sure...but in the meantime you guys have got each other... and thats awesome!
