my mom doesn't believe me

Brianna

so. my mom found out that i'm talking to a girl, which spurred me on to try and explain to her that i'm bi. she told me that i'm confused and that i'm getting my feelings mixed up because, "it's easier to make emotional connections with girls because they know what you want to hear."

she keeps making little digs about it and says that as a teenager i can't possibly know what i want.

i really like this girl and i don't want to pass on an opportunity that could make me really happy. any advice on what to say to my mom?

EDIT: i'm dating her now and my mom has been trying to keep an open mind. thanks to everyone who responded 😁

EDIT 2: SHE CHEATED LMAOOOO FUCK THAT HOE

Tell her fuck off I’ll be gay if I want to. If you don’t respect me and my choices I don’t want you in my life

Honestly don’t say anything just go on with the girl. When she sees that you’re happy she’s going to take it all on and realize this is who you are. She could just be in shock at the moment and is trying to get used to the idea that you’re bi now. Plus (not to throw much shade at our male counterparts) guys are usually the ones who try to sweet talk you into things. A lot of things that you might not want to do. Maybe you’ve had better experiences with guys but that’s just how feel from my experience. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I would give her a chance to calm down, and then try to talk to her while staying *calm and easy*. Tell her that this is truly how you feel and that you’d like her support with this life journey. If she doesn’t want to support you that is her choice, but if you are bi, that is how you feel and you can’t just change that. Tbh, it took my mom about 3 months to come around to it. It could take shorter or longer, but give her some time to come around. I hope this helps. Good luck! 😊💕

My mum doesn’t really care about me being gay cause like yeah I always talk bout my relationships with her and she always listens but I’d say that it’s your life and not hers so if you think ur bi then your bi ur mum can’t decide that for you❤️you know what you want and who you like so give with your heart not hers and just ignore her opinion🏳️‍🌈 x

Very common initial response from a parent. Give her time to digest the news. You keep being you no matter what! It’s your life and nobody else’s. :)

Nothing much left to tell her, to me coming out to my mom was the hardest part ... but that’s the point of dating to see if you connect. If things don’t work out you’ll move on you have a lot of time! Explore !

My mom told me the same thing and even my lesbian aunt told her it was a phase. I’m 31 and married and my husband and I sleep with women together, because guess what? I’m still Bi!! Do you gf no one can tell you how to feel. If it is a phase then that’s okay and if it’s not then do what makes you happy and be with whoever you want.
