Ever since college I’ve always attracted/been attracted and dated guys outside of my race (Asian American). Is anyone else here catching slack from parents for not having an Asian boyfriend?

My parents have never given me a hard time for not having an Asian American boyfriend.

Might have something to do with the fact that I’m a straight, married, white male though.

I and my boyfriend have been dating over a year now. Our relationship in general is pretty smooth and sweet. The only problem is he has not come out to his parents yet. It was not an issue before the pandemic thing since we were just living in the city, being in our own bubble. But Covid happened and he moved back to stay with his dad. Since he is not out, he can’t pick up the phone call whenever I call him, he can’t tell his parents he is dating someone in the city. Cont.

Hi! I taught State-funded PreK in Georgia for 4 years and I am now on my 2nd year of Kinder. I also taught at a private preschool for 4 years before becoming full time in college. Love birth to 5!

My office knows that I recently came out of the closet to my family- which is fine, but making me feel young. Feeling the need to overcompensate as a result.

Everyone likes me because I'm a doormat with no boundaries. I do anything and say anything to make people happy. I will think what you think I should think. Will you be my friend?
