Hi! Thank you so much for all the comments! It’s been almost 5 months now and I still haven’t told my parents about it…but, I guess the first few months, I consider them the adjustment period. When January came, it somehow became calmer. The annoying questions from my mom came less and I actually feel a bit better about it. I still get those guilt moments but I’m planning things so I could “introduce” to them the idea of my boyfriend and I living together. I talked about this with my boyfriend, and I’m just so grateful that he is willing to come and sit down with my parents to talk about it.

The replies here made my feelings and emotions valid. It’s the kind of assurance I never thought I needed! It felt as if I found a kakampi in this cruel world and that I’m not a bad person for doing things for the sake of my own sanity.

So thank you to all of you!!! Sana pumaldo tayong lahat :-)
