I’ve got my final school exams coming up soon, and on top of that, I’m stressing about my family finding out about my boyfriend. We’ve been dating for a few months, his whole family knows, and my mom + brother know, but not my dad yet. My mom thinks he’ll just say “focus on exams,” but I’m worried it’ll become a much bigger deal.
My brother keeps saying we need to “talk” (after my exams) since I’m bringing someone new into the family, which honestly feels unfair because he didn’t get that when he had a girlfriend. Maybe it’s just the hormones, but I started crying after he left my room from the stress. On top of that, my boyfriend’s still in school but already training for a trade, and my brother acts like that’s a red flag.
I like this guy (alot alot alot) and don’t want to end things just because my family might disapprove. Part of me feels like hiding it until after exams, but part of me just wants to get it over with. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of family pressure about relationships?
