my partner (26m) initially struggled a little with the fact that I (26f) am bisexual, but once I explained to him that it doesn’t change my loyalty to him etc etc he’s been very supportive, even came with me to our local Pride event and bought a wristband and a little bow with the bi flag on and wore them proudly all day which was lovely!

the issue is that his parents are very proud of the fact that they are “old school” and have made some comments that I’ve been extremely uncomfortable with (I won’t repeat them here as no one here needs to read that shit, but think homophobic/transphobic). his mum made it clear that the comments weren’t aimed at me because I’m “basically straight” which is just…ugh, and didn’t make me feel any less uncomfortable.

my partner is now in a massive fight with his mum because he tried to talk to her about the fact that she made me uncomfortable and asked her to maybe not discuss this topic while I’m around, and she kicked off on a “I’m entitled to my opinion and it’s my house I’ll say what I want” kind of rant.

he’s been staying at my place for a few days to cool down but is heading back to his parents place tonight. does anyone have any advice at all on how to handle this? I hate that I’m causing a rift between my partner and his parents, but at the same time I literally don’t even feel like I can be in his house or speak to his parents at all as I’m clearly not the type of person they’ll accept as his partner. does this relationship even have a future? how would we ever be able to get married or anything if his parents hate me and I’m not comfortable being around them? I’m very stressed and upset about it all and my partner’s really struggling with the whole situation, any advice welcome ☹️
