dont tell them becuase u are too new at this and dont even know if u are. u may be today and not tomorrow i mean ur first sentence says im straight then it says until i met my current partner. which is it straight or not? then u say she is a lesbian looks like a guy dresses like a guy and act like a guy ... then why not find a guy? In looking at ur profile and reading threw ur answers u have been with her for a while or with some one else. when here on mylot keep your stories straight (no pun intended)

Looks like a guy, acts like a guy, dress like but she is not a guy. Why not go for a guy then? You ask whether to tell your parents or not. Don't tell them, and be prepared to lie and pretend for the rest of your life. Lesbians are good at deceiving though, so in time you will have no problem with that. Problem is, a few years down the line it will get out and by that time you will have lied so much to your friends and family while looking in their eyes that it will be hard to be trusted again. If you tell them don't expect them to be happy. Expect them to be hurt. Ask yourself this, what parents would be happy when their daughter turns lesbian?The best you can do is to get out. You are straight. In my experience these manly lesbian women are manipulative and sneaky, have short tempers, mood swings etc. Yes sure, she "looks after you " now and are very caring. But she has to manipulate because of own insecurities. The man act is just a facade. She pretends to be strong and in control but the mood swings are an indication of how insecure she is. If you have been with her long enough and you look objectively you will see the signs. DO you have to comfort her when she is down again? They are instable. It is emotionally and sometimes physically dangerous.They act like men but they hate men. They want you to hate men. Does she say often something down the line of "you know men only wants to put their****** in your****?"? Remember something about lesbians. They had to live a lie most of their lives. They had to pretend and deceive at school. Sometimes they were getting mocked and developed an aggressive attitude to survive. Sometimes they just didn't get enough attention from men and the easy way out was to turn lesbian. They pick soft targets. I have seen this. Some straight girls are just easier to manipulate. Let me guess, she constantly tells you how much she will look after you, how she will protect you. Think a few years down the line. Will you be happy that you decided to enter a lesbian relationship. You could end up scarred for life. What if you meet someone else? Will you manly partner ever let you go? She might turn aggressive, it is very common. Many straight girls have been sucked in this web. Eventually they get out, but their lives are not the same. Please, don't immediately go on the defense. Try and think clearly about what I've said. Think about your happiness in the long run. Get out now, as quick as you can.

You cannot help who you are. If you are really, truly, in love with this woman, and you want to be with her, then that is how things are. You cannot help who you fall in love with. In this day and age, there is nothing wrong with be gay or being a lesbian. You are who you are. Your parents are not going to be happy about it at first, but they will have to understand who you are. My mother was shocked when I told her that I was Agnostic, but then when I reminded her of who my father was, she knew that I would be Agnostic as well. Agnostic means that I believe in a higher power, I just do not believe in religion. It is not as bad as what you might have to go through, but remember, people can be stupid and ignorant, and if they do not understand you and who you are, then that is their problem not yours. You have to be who you are or you are going to lose yourself.

I have the same experience as you.and until now I have been a lesbian for 4 years.I must say lesbian is not all born to be, a straight can become a totally les. as to you parent,if you think they can accept,you could tell them .if not,I advice you do not.

well it depans when i came out to my mom that i was TG she didnt handle it very well then agian she a pastor but then agian i know very open minded pastors so in all its up to you if you want to tell them if you do tell them the best is in a letter write down everyhing you feel and how it happen and have your gf be there too when you hand the letter over let them read it then talk. Just keep in mind sometimes we have to cut family out of lifes cus they stop us from big happy and try to keep the hold they have on us, so i hope you are happy and wise you the best of luck in your rel. *hugS*

im still have the fear of telling them. right now we are going smoothly. i am welcome to her family that is why i always stay at their place. but my parents dont have any idea of that. i fear that when we say it to my family they might act violently and they will be the cause of us being apart. and i know my father will really act violently since i was the eldest and i am the only girl.
