Title: Coming out to my ex
Post by: kristofferf on February 09, 2015, 01:01:14 AM
Today it is a month since my ex broke up with me. Did a lot of ->-bleeped-<-, deserved it. I kinda effed up.
Yesterday I told him about my... sexuality? (Wow, Im not used to saying THAT yet [emoji28] )
He does not believe me.
He thinks Im lying.
Just as I expected. Today I am kristoffer, today I am a boy. Every time I want to run away from something, I will wake up the next morning and know that today, today I am Kristoffer.
Kristoffer makes me feel stronger.
Does anyone else do this? [emoji26]

Probably not a very good boyfriend anyway if he didn't believe you. Just forget him and move on. He will see you again in the future when you are happy and believe you then.

Not understanding is one thing. Not believing it is another.  At least he's an ex.

Sounds like you have a good attitude!

Sounds like you are on the good road  ;)

(I'm not sure how it is possible not to believe you... What doesn't he believe exactly ?)

Not your sexuality, your gender identity.

It sounds like you're in a good place though. Personally, I wouldn't stay in touch with an ex. Especially if they want to belittle who you are. It's too complicated, and there is rarely a good reason for it in my opinion.

Exes can make things more complicated. I know you're younger but I would say if you can avoid him, do that. Why bother with someone who couldn't even care enough to listen?
