Girlfriend Asks Boyfriend To Show Up At Dinner Hosted By Her Parents With Only One Of His Moms, Guy’s Having None Of It And Breaks Up With Her
Couples often have different interests and outlooks on life, but what they usually have in common are their core values because it is extremely difficult to get along if, let’s say, one of the people believes in science and trusts medical professionals when they say vaccination is important and the other is completely against it.
The same goes for their stance on the LGBTQ+ community. The differences on this question actually made a couple break up as the guy had two moms and the girl didn’t want her parents to know that because she felt they would feel uncomfortable.
More info: Reddit | Reddit (update)
For this teenager, family is above everything else and he went as far as breaking up with his girlfriend to protect his two moms from getting hurt

The Original Poster (OP) also known as ThrowRAhelplost on Reddit is a 17-year-old who was raised by two moms. He has been going out with his girlfriend for 7 months and they actually became a couple during lockdown.
As they were dating for quite some time, the girl’s parents wanted for their families to meet up when it was safe to do that. It was not a problem for the OP or his moms, but the obstacle was that the girlfriend never mentioned to her parents that her boyfriend isn’t from a traditional family.
The OP is 17 years old and he has been dating his girlfriend for 7 months, so naturally, their families also wanted to meet

She described her parents as not “raging homophobes but they don’t like that.” The girlfriend knew her parents enough to guess that they would feel uncomfortable to find out about OP’s family.
Her solution to avoid the awkwardness was just to lie to her parents and convince the two boyfriend’s moms that just one of them should go to that dinner. But that didn’t sit well with the boyfriend as he loved his moms and was never embarrassed of their relationship.
The problem was that the girlfriend thought her parents wouldn’t take the fact the OP had two moms very well

The OP stood up for his moms and he also explained that it doesn’t make sense lying now because if their relationship evolved, the lie would surface and that would be even more awkward.
Many people in the comments admired that ThrowRAhelplost was on his moms’ side and wasn’t afraid to introduce them to other people, as often teenagers are embarrassed if their families are not like others.
She thought that it would be better to not mention that to her parents and ask only one mom to go to their first dinner

Bored Panda contacted Carl Pickhardt, a Harvard alumnus and University of Texas graduate where he got his PhD in Counseling Psychology. He specializes in adolescent psychology and is the author of such books like Who Stole My Child? and WHY GOOD KIDS ACT CRUEL: The Hidden Truth about the Pre-Teen Years. He also writes the weekly blog Surviving (Your Child’s) Adolescence for Psychology Today, so we thought he could give us his perspective on the Reddit story.
We were curious if there is a specific way to teach a child to not be embarrassed of parents who are not so typical and according to Carl Pickhardt, the cure for it is simple: “Love teaches acceptance around all kinds of differences. The narrator simply loves his parents.”
The OP didn’t even consider such a suggestion and after thinking about it and talking with the girl more, he decided the relationship wouldn’t work out
Image credits: ThrowRAhelplost
It is really obvious that the OP loves his moms as even when his friends tried to convince him to just give in, he held on to his principles. But even if he believed that what he was doing was right, he felt that he might have been mean to his girlfriend. In one of his replies to the comments, he wrote “Was never gonna go through with it cause I know that’s extremely f****d up to ask them to do that. But it just felt like everyone was so against it.”
He also realized that the girlfriend was also not comfortable with him having parents of the same sex

The story has an update and turns out, the OP decided that the relationship will not take the couple anywhere. Carl Pickhardt says that he can’t see two people together when one of them is homophobic and the other has parents of the same sex. He puts it like this: “That’s like asking: ‘Can someone really like you, and you like them, when they are sexually prejudiced against your parents?’ ‘They’ are part of ‘You.’”

The OP loves his moms and never was embarrassed about them, so he didn’t want to be with a person who didn’t feel the same way
Image credits: ThrowRAhelplost
Before breaking up, the OP had an eye-opening conversation with his girlfriend when he realized that not only are her parents uncomfortable with homosexual relationships, but she is as well.
He also caught on that she didn’t understand how hurtful it would be for him and his moms if he asked only one of them to come to dinner and hide facts, which is basically lying.

Maybe the relationship could have been saved if the girlfriend would have agreed to just have a dinner without any sneaking around, but Carl Pickhardt said that the issue wasn’t the relationship between the parents of the two families, it was “dating a person who may harbor homophobic beliefs” as we found out was the case from reading the update.
The psychologist also added, “Hiding from reality is lying and only encourages homophobia to continue by catering to it. You have, and your parents have, nothing to ‘hide.’“

It seems that other redditors thought breaking up and siding with family was the right decision too. They thought the OP was really mature for his age and wasn’t acting like a jerk at all.
What do you think of this story? What would you have done in OP’s shoes? Do you think that two people who have different values can be happily together? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments!
People in the comments admired OP’s maturity and ability to have a calm and clear mind in such a tricky situation

First thing that struck me is not that the girl's parents actually said it was a problem for them. The girl did. And I think that's because she's the one that has the problem (whether her parents do or not). So yeah, I'm glad he broke up with her.
That what I seen too like she didn't even tell them or anything. Didn't even bring it up. Like that's mean

As one of two moms of two wonderful children, I'm so proud of you for sticking by your principles and your moms. We can't help who we fall in love with, but we can always make the right decisions with a lot of soul searching, sometimes. I'm so sorry you had to break up, but someone will come along who loves you and your family.
Same thing I said and I'm in a traditional relationship with my husband and we support happiness and healthy relationship with those who make you happy no matter what sex they are. If a man dated my daughter and was raised by two mom's I wouldn't be upset... I would know he is understandable and emotionally connected.

The fact that he felt that his moms would/might think it was their fault shows the depth of this young man's empathy and quality of his character. Everyone would be lucky to have parents as "normal" as his.
Tell your moms. They need this. They need to hear how much you love them and what a fine young man you are!!!
I agree, they might have that twinge of parental guilt we all get sometimes from our kids having to sacrifice for us, but it will likely/SHOULD quickly be overcome with pride and appreciation at how well bonded and trusting your family is. Parents LIKE knowing what struggles their kids go through and how they handle it. You made the right choice OP.

I don't know if OP will read this, but I want to say that people like them are the reason real change happens. Laws can change to protect people (or not), but real change happens in our communities, where people simply expect and demonstrate what equity actually means. I am so sorry it lead to a broken heart. I wish I could say it would be your last. But it seems your mom's raised a thoughtful young person, and your compassion is incredible. All the best OP
The girlfriend is really too young to have fully formed her own opinions based on life experience. She is only parroting what she has been taught by her parents. She claims her parents aren't raging homophobes; however, homophobia (like racism) is like being pregnant. Your either are or you aren't. Her parents are the AHs.
17 is not too young. My guess is she didn't even ask them but used "my parents won't like it" as an excuse because SHE didn't like it

No one should have to hide themselves nor their family. Teen is not too young to learn that she does not control the world and neither do her parents. Pretending something that obvious exists actually doesn't exist is no way to got through life.
Here is a secret. Her parents may not be "raging homophobes" but they belong to the even more dangerous "casual homophobe" category, and so does she.
Sooo... she values her own comfort/family comfort over yours? That's a bad sign already. NTA! You dodged a bullet kiddo. Good for you for being proud of who you are and who your parents are! You have nothing to hide. You have two loving parents. Just like her. Why should you ever hide that just because someone else is uncomfortable. Let them be. That's their problem. If you were my son I'd be very proud of you.
These Mom's have raised him better than the GF parents raised her. He stands up for what's right and for his Moms.
This! The two moms did a better job raising their children than the supposedly “normal” parents did. Something non-self aware homophobes are incapable of seeing—-or just uncomfortable admitting (too f*****g bad)—-in themselves.

This is one case where the room actually DOES stand up and clap. Well done to him.
If you think you’re not a raging homophobe, but you “just don’t like” two gay people together, you’re wrong about not being a raging homophobe. If you dislike the word homophobe, you can use “bigot” instead.
I think people assume "raging homophobe" or "raging racist" only applies to those who are physically violent or physically aggressive. While they may not be physically threatening, as another commenter mentioned they are "casually homophobic" which makes them more dangerous long term because they'll spread that mentality/influence subtly rather than through extremist or illegal acts.

I'm kinda pissed about his "friends". He blocked them so he wouldn't have to deal with their s**t and I'm sorry, but that is NOT a friend. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having two moms. A loving family is a loving family. No matter who makes up that family. And his friends should be there for him and not tell him he's being an a*****e for not doing as that girl asked!
I have two mom's as well and could never invite one and not the other especially when it comes to something as important as meeting a partners parents for the first time
Exactly, how would you choose? And no good person would expect you to choose.

Even if only one mom had gone over to the girlfriend's parents' house, their first question would be "Coffee or tea?", the second would be, "What do you do for a living?", and the third would be, "And what does your husband do for a living?" Emphasis on the "husband." And in answering, the mom would reveal that she has a wife, not a husband. No way it could have been kept secret any longer. So really the question wasn't "should I hurt my moms' feelings by only asking one of them to meet my girlfriend's parents"--that's naive. It's bigger than that. I think it would have been nice for both sets of parents to meet, and I think the girlfriend's parents would probably (that is, hopefully) only be uncomfortable for the first minute and then would realize that the pair of moms are just people, too.
You've got a nice spine there, young man. Keep it up. I'm proud of you as well.

News Flash. If her parents don't like that he has 2 mom's...that means they're homophobic. You can't say "I don't like black people, but I'm not racist." Well..yeah you are when you judge how you like a person or a group you've never met. I had a friend that I adored for years until I saw her post on social media "There is only one God and two genders." I was like...yea...blocked now.
I believe there are a lot of people who are proud of you for standing up for your moms, and your family values. I know I am. However, I do feel that you should confide in your moms. Tell them the truth about your breakup. Initially they will feel bad, but they will also have overwhelming love and support to give you. You are feeling sad, and down over the break up. Rightfully so, But the love, support, and communication you'll receive from your parents will mean the world to you, and help you get through this. Please don't deny them the opportunity to show you how much they love you. I think it's important for you to all get through this together. You're a smart and mature young man. Let your parents help you. Lean on them. That's what family is for.
Rightly so, that you broke up with her. Her parents are in the wrong here, and she, while not admitting, at least doesn't support you or oppose the wrong principles of her parents. It simply is none of their business with whom Mom 1 will share a bed and with whom Mom 2 does. They are in the wrong. Whatever is normal, also, isn't more or less likely to be right than what is not considered normal ... the entire concept of the majority's choices being somewhat right because the majority acts that way is totally wrong and unbasable on solid, valid, factual grounds. While she has no obligation to spark a conflict with her parents, they don't get to judge people's choices, and then - this is not a choice. They are who they are. Accepting them as human beings and leaving their privateries to them, just like they do in return I'm pretty sure, is not asked too much ... or not much whatsoever in the first place. They judgery is the only problem here - they "don't like that" is the problem!
I am a conservative Christian and even I wouldn't have acted like this girl did.
I'm a conservative christian too. Once on a holiday in Greece in a hotel we had some special evening with food for all the hotel guests. There was a gay couple, already seated there. All those ppl went to sit elsewhere, with other hetero couples and they sat there alone, so we joined em.
Load More Replies... I've got to say she was immature about the way she handle it. He did a great job he tried to move around it and tried to figure it he stood back and assessed the situation. It should have not mattered. What your parents are if you both like each other it should totally not matter.
People need to be more aware of others and the life choices they make for themselves. Just because you have two moms doesn’t make you abnormal and just because she has a mom and dad doesn’t make her normal. You are loved by your parents and they love each other and I love that you stood up for your moms but also that you stood up for your family. If anybody in this situation needs help it is her and her family for not accepting what love truly is!! Find someone who appreciates you and your family!!! Trust me they are out there! And tell your moms they will understand and be proud as a mother I am very proud of you!!
Good on you for standing up for your parents! And as for your friends whom also agreed with your ex girlfriend, you should lose them too.
Smart lad to pick up on the distinct whiff of homophobia and call her out on it.
Where's the end of the queue to be this fellas Dad, what a amazing young man to stand up for his mums like that!
It was never a problem for her parents. It was a problem for her. Disgusting homophobe.
I disagree on the "never a problem for them", simply because we don't know. If she's saying they don't like that, there's a chance she's heard it from them directly. However because she didn't actually ask and we don't know her parents, there's no proof either way.
Load More Replies... So it's not okay for HER parents to be uncomfortable but it's totally okay this HIS parents are? Pfffft.
Building a relationship based on deceit is wrong. You did the only SENSIBLE thing by breaking up with a person who has an issue with your family!!
Ugh. LGBT people shouldn’t have to hide who they are to make others comfortable. Can’t believe people need that explained to them.
Everyone in this situation was not given the opportunity to demonstrate their views. As soon as each one of the dating couple became aware of the non traditional relationship among parents it should have been disclosed to all involved. The parents each should have had the chance to to respond. Guessing, assuming and hiding truth is a sign that neither young person has the maturity to get serious with anyone! At least find out!! No one got any clarity out of this. If either is actually looking for a serious relationship there must be a realization that all families have oddities and imperfect beliefs! Honesty is the only way to proceed if happiness is ever going to happen! Pretense never works long term!! Never!
Besides all the obvious here... the 'Meet the parents' dinner thing usually more reserved for serious adult couples in an actual long term relationship with a better chance at a future.
Uh. Sorry but what? You don't think it's appropriate for a couple that has been together for 7 months to have joint family meals?
Load More Replies... I agree with the comments except one struck me a bit sideways: "surround yourself with people who share your values" makes some sense when it's a marriage partner, but that advice can also produce an echo chamber. It's okay not to share all of the same values. It's good to consider opposing viewpoints. It's also okay to continue an overall healthy friendship with people who disagree. It's also important to also stand by your own values; don't change just because someone told you to. Either way, as I said, it's good he broke up with her, if she couldn't respect his family.
I think there is a difference between "yellow is a nice color" vs "gay people are awful". Some values aren't up for debate.

Let’s go even FURTHER back in time with regards to relationships. From many different tribes, religious denominations (catholic/Protestant, Shia/Sunni, Jew/Muslim - and every conceivable combination of Buddhism/Hindu/Sikh/ Zoroastrian …), Asian, Caucasian, Native, Latin, African…tribal lines & political camps - we are as divided as United on this rock circling the sun. You made a mature call, but consider …helping others to look at life differently - Outside of their comfort zone - begins with a compelling conversation. Not everyone is mature enough to take that step, you may have to assist them - and how rewarding is that when you smooth off the rough edges of someone’s hard shell :-) cheers!
Man, they did great! I only know two lesbian couples, but they're some of the best people I know and they don't deserve to be hurt. (One is my favorite cousin and her girlfriend, the other is one of my dad's friends and her wife.)
I'm sad that the boy had to go through this, but his moms certainly did a fine job raising him. He has his priorities straight and would not allow his moms to be hurt just to appease a homophobic bimbo and her family. She doesn't deserve him and he will find someone who does.
Learning & love(self) combo!! "Normal" he will Always respect himself for this 10 toes down decision. Think what bothers me even more, how many people wanted him too go along with a lie. This is great example of America's better than thou mentality. By George, well lie if we have to, just as long as "normal" feels comfortable ~ !!!
Years ago I decided for special events that I was hosting my divorced parents and their mates would all be invited. I was nervous but they ended up really liking each other. The girlfriend is underestimating her parents who may have really enjoyed meeting both Moms The girlfriend is the problem.. If she truly loved you she would realize that they raised you to be the awesome man that you are.!!!
You did the right thing .You can never have a relationship with anyone when there's lies to ANY relationship with lies never works out You did what was right I'm proud of you!
This young man was raised by two loving individuals...and he chose both his mom's happiness over his own...he is truly a good and loving individual....the whole wold doesn't think and feel the same way these close minded people do....he will find a girlfriend who is accepting and loving...meanwhile let the hurt heal and move forward....he deserves better than that!
Bravo👏! What a fine, + loyal young man, who did the "ABSOLUTE" right thing! His parents are surely doing an excellent job raising him + when the time comes, when he meets the right girl who shares his same values, he will make an excellent husband, and definitely a fantastic father. For this young man is already an exceptional role model! I agree with many here, he should definitely tell his loving parents everything that happened,+ exactly what he said. It will show them how much he loves them both, + let them know YES indeed so far they did and are still doing a fantastic job raising him bc every parent in life harbor silent thoughts they may not be doing a good job at parenting, and also may feel their kids might not be really listening to their guidance. Also it will help relieve some of their stress, parents feel whenever their kids walk out the front door, + hanging out with friends.This will let them now what a great head he has on his shoulders to not get easily influenced.
"... they're not raging homophobes, but they don't like that." No, they're raging homophobes. "...so it's not uncomfortable for her parents." What about his parents? Why should her parents "comfort" take precedence over his parents' comfort? She can firetruck ALL the way off.
Interesting how a heterosexual couple raised their daughter here compared to the son with 2 moms. Well done moms! What a great son! I hope the other family truly learns from this. <3
"they're not raging homophobes", But also the lEsBIanS makE thEm feEL iCkY
Hasn't anybody seen the movie le cage??? Good for him, they raised beautiful son
Seriously already, its 2022.Don't we have real things to worry about?TELL HER OK, BUT SHE TOO, CAN ONLY BRING 1 PARENT!😉 The fact that ANYONE HAS 2 PARENTS,still together,in love, in same house blows my mind!🤯 perhaps SHES intimidated? I HAVE 2 GORGEOUS TEEN GIRLS- I CAN'T COOK, BUT I'D HAPPILY TAKE YOU & ur moms to dinner.. and,we'll happily leave my husband home.🤮 He's dropped out of adulting and is more like my delinquent teen age son.. MY parents are on year 54, PLUS, they met years prior in middle school..I'm an only child, 22 yrs married-mom of 2 girls.My 'husband' is NO ROLE MODEL anymore.. SO, IS THAT A BETTER SCENERIO? OR,if what if he had divorced parents? CMON! WHAT GUY is going to treat women better than one with NOT ONE- BUT 2 MOMS!! ♡
SHES not too YOUNG. My girls are 16&18.we talk about stuff I NEVER DISCUSSED as a teen, never had too! They are growing up with these scenarios, I did not... but here's a quick story.. We were at Disney during Pride week, we had no idea til we were there.They were 11& 7. Lil one STRAIGHT OUT ASKED me why the girl in front of us in line called 2 ppl Dad..My explanation was this- ** " you know how all 4 of us in our family don't like tomatoes? We have never liked tomatoes,no matter how they're cooked..even if we dipped them in chocolate, we wouldn't like them ! Because we were born with a preference! I like chocolate, ur dad likes vanilla.God can't have EVERYONE ALWAYS LOVING ALL the same things, because then there wouldn't be any left 2 share!Just like there are many KINDS of apples,& I like yellow ones,u like red ones!Thats THE preference we were born with. She said," oh..ok! Fathers Day must be a busy day for her" . Period.

From the GF perspective... Currently engaged to a man that was raised by 2 moms. When he initially told me about his moms...my response was "so what"? His parents started off in a "traditional" marriage (mom and dad), parents divorced and mom found love (again, after bad divorce), with a female. My fiance is well adjusted, caring, nurturing, loving and understanding of the the things women deal with. As for those saying that a "traditional relationship" is the only way to raise a child, are so far off base. I have dated/married guys from "traditional" families and my fiance continues to blow my mind every day with his love. While he was growing up, his grandfathers stepped in...they were his surrogate father, as dad was less than admirable (abusive, drunk, etc) and they did an excellent job of teaching him everything a gentleman should be and what a gentleman isn't. My fiance and I are both older, and grew up when homosexuality was taboo, and he did exactly what this young man did..
What I like about this is at such a young age you are not compromising on deal breakers. It's so easy to do when you are wrapped up in the emotions that come with a new relationship. This means you have a much stronger chance of having healthier relationships in your future and finding partners that will enhance your life more. But, I dont know if I would keep it a secret from your parents. However, you know them best. Good job. It's really important to identify your deal breakers. You really did try to explain and work it out. Good job.
What struck me is that the girlfriend knows his moms. She was anticipating her parents' disapproval, but she also was ashamed of them...even though she knew them.
10 stars to that young man for loving and sticking up for his parents don't matter who they are or what sex come on we are not in the dungeon days anymore love is love and all are excepted in this world she needs to get over herself if she couldn't except someone she said she loves situation then she has alot to learn about love i suggest she stays single until she does what is she going to do next make a mate get rid of a pet good job dude you are one of a kind and your moms should be very proud of you and they should know the truth so they can see what a great son they have good luck finding your true love
You did the right thing! You are a well rounded, mature, and honest young man! Your moms' raised you right! You stood up for your parents, their and your beliefs, and I really think, it was your ex girlfriend who had the problem with two moms, not her parents. If you ever run into them and they ask why you broke up with their daughter, tell them the truth. Maybe it's a chance for them to do some education with her.
F**k her parents and her. Honor your mother's. If she really cared about y'all relationship she would tell her parents and if they care about her happiness then they should except it. If I had a son I would want them to be like you.. the fact you're a man with two mom I'm sure you're perfect when it comes to women's feelings and emotional support. They are stupid for their way of thinking. I hope you have a great life.
I'm disgusted, but also think I would've said something dumb like she did. Stuff like that really came out if my mouth as a kid, and it's probably less common now only because I can't be around people very often now. I would also have a ton of dumb questions. However, I'm old. I thought kids her age would know a bit better. Conservative family, I guess.
The sad thing is, she probably doesn't even truly know anyone who is gay or transgender etc.. she can't have empathy for people she's too afraid of to get to know.. if she had.. she would never had said any of those awful things...
Good for u for having a backbone and believing in your family. If u had given in on just this one thing, it would turn into a series of "just one more thing" that would never end
That girl doesn't deserve someone as a mature & loving as you.. for her sake I sincerely hope she'll evolve further than her parents have so far in their lives bc honestly it's only ever going to cause them issues, anyone else involved will simply realize what kind of people they are & chose to cut them off as you did. You're wise beyond your years & extremely compassionate as well as not selfish (for a teenager of any age, hell person of any age that's a seldom quality seriously!!) I fully understand why you'd be wary of telling your moms the situation in fear of them feeling guilty but if you were my son & explained things I'd be FAR TOO PROUD to even get upset seriously.. you'll find someone who actually shares your views & when you do you'll be so happy there's no secrecy or shame.
For a 17yr old to not be thinking with his d**k, good on him, and f**k her stupid closed-minded parents.
It sucks that his core group of friends don't seem to have empathy about the situation. If you are at the point of introducing your parents to your SO's parents, you can't hide one of your parents like that. I mean what was she thinking would happen when her parents said, "Glad you could come, sorry your husband wasn't able."
I really feel feel for op. After we moved back to my hometown, my mom went back to the other town to finish something and found out that the guy my brother was helping around his place was racist. Every since he's been around the guy, my brother has been spouting off racist things. He also is a homophobe. Niether of my parents are racist and niether are homophobic. So it makes me wonder if ex-girlfiend got it from her parents or an outside influence. (The school I went to, some of the kids were using being gay as an insult and put down.
Your moms raised you right, unlike your ex's so-called "normal" family.
What an awesome kid. And refusing to compromise on your family's values, refusing to hide your loved ones or make them hide who they are, refusing to be embarrassed of your loved ones... are all things you should APPRECIATE in a partner because it means they'll do the same for you! He'll find a great partner who loves this about him :) I'd say I hope he never questions that he did the right thing and is a great person but I think he knows this.
This was an episode of Steven Universe. Should just have the two moms merge into one giant mom so both of them can come but still only be one person.
"they don't like that" Sweetie, your parents are, in fact, homophobes. "It's different, because that's a normal couple". And so are you
How are they not raging homophobes if the mere presence of a same-sex couple would make them soo uncomforable and they have already instilled into their daughter that it's "not normal"?
Maybe not raging. But definitely homophobic. As you say, she must have picked up those ideas at home
Load More Replies... As a woman that grew up with 2 moms myself you should be proud of yourself and how you handled the situation, your gf was wrong to ask you to make a choice between one of your parents. We are in 2022 and love is love and if your gf and her parents are uncomfortable being around 2 individuals that love each other and their son then she definitely was not the right one for you. No room for small minded people in yours or your moms lives.
My husband of 24 years had two moms and a dad. It went like this for me, "Guess what, we got engaged, and by the way, boyfriends's parents are in a group marriage." Parents were like, "Great, when are you getting married?" You know what never mattered at all in our life together? The fact that his parents were in a group marriage. In fact, his bio parents died years ago and we luckily still have one mom left.
Its not normal just because you idiot liberals say it is, it is not, fricken weirdos

I'm sticking with the girl on this one, it's not normal to be raised by two mom's, a normal family has a mom and a dad. It's unfortunate that the boy doesn't realize this and probably never will.
It's a shame that ignorant and hateful people like you exist.

She has a right to break it off whether it was her or her parents that were not comfortable. To each their own. I personally would not want to be in a relationship with 2 gay mom's. That's me and that's what I am standing up for. It's a free country!

Your moms were an excellent acid test of the value of your gf. Don’t stay with her, but forgive her. Her attitudes were instilled by her “normal” parents.
Ah, young...everything. You'll get over it. No one is the a*****e here but the girlfriend has the potential to be. Not that this is an real way a possibility but imagine down the line, you two are engaged... you already know she's going to behave this way. It's a bit "my opinion is more important than yours" mixed with "I protect my own in my controlling way". You are not her own. If you were, would you like that method of protection?
I don't know why I click on these. Everytime I do it reads more and more like some 19 yr old incel wrote it on some sub reddit.
It's not the norm. And I find it wrong that gay ppl are allowed to adopt. I think that should be disclosed when meeting bc it is so controversial. It confuses the natural understanding of family in a child's brain. But this is how the world is evolving into the Devil's playground. God help us.
Yeah I'm sure it's better to leave kids to rot in the system just because you hate gay people. People like you are why Christianity is dying. You bring shame to god.

First thing that struck me is not that the girl's parents actually said it was a problem for them. The girl did. And I think that's because she's the one that has the problem (whether her parents do or not). So yeah, I'm glad he broke up with her.
That what I seen too like she didn't even tell them or anything. Didn't even bring it up. Like that's mean

Load More Replies... As one of two moms of two wonderful children, I'm so proud of you for sticking by your principles and your moms. We can't help who we fall in love with, but we can always make the right decisions with a lot of soul searching, sometimes. I'm so sorry you had to break up, but someone will come along who loves you and your family.
Same thing I said and I'm in a traditional relationship with my husband and we support happiness and healthy relationship with those who make you happy no matter what sex they are. If a man dated my daughter and was raised by two mom's I wouldn't be upset... I would know he is understandable and emotionally connected.
Load More Replies... The fact that he felt that his moms would/might think it was their fault shows the depth of this young man's empathy and quality of his character. Everyone would be lucky to have parents as "normal" as his.
Tell your moms. They need this. They need to hear how much you love them and what a fine young man you are!!!
I agree, they might have that twinge of parental guilt we all get sometimes from our kids having to sacrifice for us, but it will likely/SHOULD quickly be overcome with pride and appreciation at how well bonded and trusting your family is. Parents LIKE knowing what struggles their kids go through and how they handle it. You made the right choice OP.
Load More Replies... I don't know if OP will read this, but I want to say that people like them are the reason real change happens. Laws can change to protect people (or not), but real change happens in our communities, where people simply expect and demonstrate what equity actually means. I am so sorry it lead to a broken heart. I wish I could say it would be your last. But it seems your mom's raised a thoughtful young person, and your compassion is incredible. All the best OP
The girlfriend is really too young to have fully formed her own opinions based on life experience. She is only parroting what she has been taught by her parents. She claims her parents aren't raging homophobes; however, homophobia (like racism) is like being pregnant. Your either are or you aren't. Her parents are the AHs.
17 is not too young. My guess is she didn't even ask them but used "my parents won't like it" as an excuse because SHE didn't like it
Load More Replies... No one should have to hide themselves nor their family. Teen is not too young to learn that she does not control the world and neither do her parents. Pretending something that obvious exists actually doesn't exist is no way to got through life.
Here is a secret. Her parents may not be "raging homophobes" but they belong to the even more dangerous "casual homophobe" category, and so does she.
Sooo... she values her own comfort/family comfort over yours? That's a bad sign already. NTA! You dodged a bullet kiddo. Good for you for being proud of who you are and who your parents are! You have nothing to hide. You have two loving parents. Just like her. Why should you ever hide that just because someone else is uncomfortable. Let them be. That's their problem. If you were my son I'd be very proud of you.
These Mom's have raised him better than the GF parents raised her. He stands up for what's right and for his Moms.
This! The two moms did a better job raising their children than the supposedly “normal” parents did. Something non-self aware homophobes are incapable of seeing—-or just uncomfortable admitting (too f*****g bad)—-in themselves.
Load More Replies... This is one case where the room actually DOES stand up and clap. Well done to him.
If you think you’re not a raging homophobe, but you “just don’t like” two gay people together, you’re wrong about not being a raging homophobe. If you dislike the word homophobe, you can use “bigot” instead.
I think people assume "raging homophobe" or "raging racist" only applies to those who are physically violent or physically aggressive. While they may not be physically threatening, as another commenter mentioned they are "casually homophobic" which makes them more dangerous long term because they'll spread that mentality/influence subtly rather than through extremist or illegal acts.
Load More Replies... I'm kinda pissed about his "friends". He blocked them so he wouldn't have to deal with their s**t and I'm sorry, but that is NOT a friend. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having two moms. A loving family is a loving family. No matter who makes up that family. And his friends should be there for him and not tell him he's being an a*****e for not doing as that girl asked!
I have two mom's as well and could never invite one and not the other especially when it comes to something as important as meeting a partners parents for the first time
Exactly, how would you choose? And no good person would expect you to choose.
Load More Replies... Even if only one mom had gone over to the girlfriend's parents' house, their first question would be "Coffee or tea?", the second would be, "What do you do for a living?", and the third would be, "And what does your husband do for a living?" Emphasis on the "husband." And in answering, the mom would reveal that she has a wife, not a husband. No way it could have been kept secret any longer. So really the question wasn't "should I hurt my moms' feelings by only asking one of them to meet my girlfriend's parents"--that's naive. It's bigger than that. I think it would have been nice for both sets of parents to meet, and I think the girlfriend's parents would probably (that is, hopefully) only be uncomfortable for the first minute and then would realize that the pair of moms are just people, too.
You've got a nice spine there, young man. Keep it up. I'm proud of you as well.
Stuck-up little pissant asshat cuntpie shitiot bitchfungus+. Prejudiced "people" and other kinds of assholes are the actual freaks and embarrassments.

Load More Replies... News Flash. If her parents don't like that he has 2 mom's...that means they're homophobic. You can't say "I don't like black people, but I'm not racist." Well..yeah you are when you judge how you like a person or a group you've never met. I had a friend that I adored for years until I saw her post on social media "There is only one God and two genders." I was like...yea...blocked now.
I believe there are a lot of people who are proud of you for standing up for your moms, and your family values. I know I am. However, I do feel that you should confide in your moms. Tell them the truth about your breakup. Initially they will feel bad, but they will also have overwhelming love and support to give you. You are feeling sad, and down over the break up. Rightfully so, But the love, support, and communication you'll receive from your parents will mean the world to you, and help you get through this. Please don't deny them the opportunity to show you how much they love you. I think it's important for you to all get through this together. You're a smart and mature young man. Let your parents help you. Lean on them. That's what family is for.
Rightly so, that you broke up with her. Her parents are in the wrong here, and she, while not admitting, at least doesn't support you or oppose the wrong principles of her parents. It simply is none of their business with whom Mom 1 will share a bed and with whom Mom 2 does. They are in the wrong. Whatever is normal, also, isn't more or less likely to be right than what is not considered normal ... the entire concept of the majority's choices being somewhat right because the majority acts that way is totally wrong and unbasable on solid, valid, factual grounds. While she has no obligation to spark a conflict with her parents, they don't get to judge people's choices, and then - this is not a choice. They are who they are. Accepting them as human beings and leaving their privateries to them, just like they do in return I'm pretty sure, is not asked too much ... or not much whatsoever in the first place. They judgery is the only problem here - they "don't like that" is the problem!
I am a conservative Christian and even I wouldn't have acted like this girl did.
I'm a conservative christian too. Once on a holiday in Greece in a hotel we had some special evening with food for all the hotel guests. There was a gay couple, already seated there. All those ppl went to sit elsewhere, with other hetero couples and they sat there alone, so we joined em.
Load More Replies... I've got to say she was immature about the way she handle it. He did a great job he tried to move around it and tried to figure it he stood back and assessed the situation. It should have not mattered. What your parents are if you both like each other it should totally not matter.
People need to be more aware of others and the life choices they make for themselves. Just because you have two moms doesn’t make you abnormal and just because she has a mom and dad doesn’t make her normal. You are loved by your parents and they love each other and I love that you stood up for your moms but also that you stood up for your family. If anybody in this situation needs help it is her and her family for not accepting what love truly is!! Find someone who appreciates you and your family!!! Trust me they are out there! And tell your moms they will understand and be proud as a mother I am very proud of you!!
Good on you for standing up for your parents! And as for your friends whom also agreed with your ex girlfriend, you should lose them too.
Smart lad to pick up on the distinct whiff of homophobia and call her out on it.
Where's the end of the queue to be this fellas Dad, what a amazing young man to stand up for his mums like that!
It was never a problem for her parents. It was a problem for her. Disgusting homophobe.
I disagree on the "never a problem for them", simply because we don't know. If she's saying they don't like that, there's a chance she's heard it from them directly. However because she didn't actually ask and we don't know her parents, there's no proof either way.
Load More Replies... So it's not okay for HER parents to be uncomfortable but it's totally okay this HIS parents are? Pfffft.
Building a relationship based on deceit is wrong. You did the only SENSIBLE thing by breaking up with a person who has an issue with your family!!
Ugh. LGBT people shouldn’t have to hide who they are to make others comfortable. Can’t believe people need that explained to them.
Everyone in this situation was not given the opportunity to demonstrate their views. As soon as each one of the dating couple became aware of the non traditional relationship among parents it should have been disclosed to all involved. The parents each should have had the chance to to respond. Guessing, assuming and hiding truth is a sign that neither young person has the maturity to get serious with anyone! At least find out!! No one got any clarity out of this. If either is actually looking for a serious relationship there must be a realization that all families have oddities and imperfect beliefs! Honesty is the only way to proceed if happiness is ever going to happen! Pretense never works long term!! Never!
Besides all the obvious here... the 'Meet the parents' dinner thing usually more reserved for serious adult couples in an actual long term relationship with a better chance at a future.
Uh. Sorry but what? You don't think it's appropriate for a couple that has been together for 7 months to have joint family meals?
Load More Replies... I agree with the comments except one struck me a bit sideways: "surround yourself with people who share your values" makes some sense when it's a marriage partner, but that advice can also produce an echo chamber. It's okay not to share all of the same values. It's good to consider opposing viewpoints. It's also okay to continue an overall healthy friendship with people who disagree. It's also important to also stand by your own values; don't change just because someone told you to. Either way, as I said, it's good he broke up with her, if she couldn't respect his family.
I think there is a difference between "yellow is a nice color" vs "gay people are awful". Some values aren't up for debate.

Man, they did great! I only know two lesbian couples, but they're some of the best people I know and they don't deserve to be hurt. (One is my favorite cousin and her girlfriend, the other is one of my dad's friends and her wife.)
I'm sad that the boy had to go through this, but his moms certainly did a fine job raising him. He has his priorities straight and would not allow his moms to be hurt just to appease a homophobic bimbo and her family. She doesn't deserve him and he will find someone who does.
Learning & love(self) combo!! "Normal" he will Always respect himself for this 10 toes down decision. Think what bothers me even more, how many people wanted him too go along with a lie. This is great example of America's better than thou mentality. By George, well lie if we have to, just as long as "normal" feels comfortable ~ !!!
Years ago I decided for special events that I was hosting my divorced parents and their mates would all be invited. I was nervous but they ended up really liking each other. The girlfriend is underestimating her parents who may have really enjoyed meeting both Moms The girlfriend is the problem.. If she truly loved you she would realize that they raised you to be the awesome man that you are.!!!
You did the right thing .You can never have a relationship with anyone when there's lies to ANY relationship with lies never works out You did what was right I'm proud of you!
This young man was raised by two loving individuals...and he chose both his mom's happiness over his own...he is truly a good and loving individual....the whole wold doesn't think and feel the same way these close minded people do....he will find a girlfriend who is accepting and loving...meanwhile let the hurt heal and move forward....he deserves better than that!
Bravo👏! What a fine, + loyal young man, who did the "ABSOLUTE" right thing! His parents are surely doing an excellent job raising him + when the time comes, when he meets the right girl who shares his same values, he will make an excellent husband, and definitely a fantastic father. For this young man is already an exceptional role model! I agree with many here, he should definitely tell his loving parents everything that happened,+ exactly what he said. It will show them how much he loves them both, + let them know YES indeed so far they did and are still doing a fantastic job raising him bc every parent in life harbor silent thoughts they may not be doing a good job at parenting, and also may feel their kids might not be really listening to their guidance. Also it will help relieve some of their stress, parents feel whenever their kids walk out the front door, + hanging out with friends.This will let them now what a great head he has on his shoulders to not get easily influenced.
"... they're not raging homophobes, but they don't like that." No, they're raging homophobes. "...so it's not uncomfortable for her parents." What about his parents? Why should her parents "comfort" take precedence over his parents' comfort? She can firetruck ALL the way off.
Interesting how a heterosexual couple raised their daughter here compared to the son with 2 moms. Well done moms! What a great son! I hope the other family truly learns from this. <3

Hasn't anybody seen the movie le cage??? Good for him, they raised beautiful son
Seriously already, its 2022.Don't we have real things to worry about?TELL HER OK, BUT SHE TOO, CAN ONLY BRING 1 PARENT!😉 The fact that ANYONE HAS 2 PARENTS,still together,in love, in same house blows my mind!🤯 perhaps SHES intimidated? I HAVE 2 GORGEOUS TEEN GIRLS- I CAN'T COOK, BUT I'D HAPPILY TAKE YOU & ur moms to dinner.. and,we'll happily leave my husband home.🤮 He's dropped out of adulting and is more like my delinquent teen age son.. MY parents are on year 54, PLUS, they met years prior in middle school..I'm an only child, 22 yrs married-mom of 2 girls.My 'husband' is NO ROLE MODEL anymore.. SO, IS THAT A BETTER SCENERIO? OR,if what if he had divorced parents? CMON! WHAT GUY is going to treat women better than one with NOT ONE- BUT 2 MOMS!! ♡
SHES not too YOUNG. My girls are 16&18.we talk about stuff I NEVER DISCUSSED as a teen, never had too! They are growing up with these scenarios, I did not... but here's a quick story.. We were at Disney during Pride week, we had no idea til we were there.They were 11& 7. Lil one STRAIGHT OUT ASKED me why the girl in front of us in line called 2 ppl Dad..My explanation was this- ** " you know how all 4 of us in our family don't like tomatoes? We have never liked tomatoes,no matter how they're cooked..even if we dipped them in chocolate, we wouldn't like them ! Because we were born with a preference! I like chocolate, ur dad likes vanilla.God can't have EVERYONE ALWAYS LOVING ALL the same things, because then there wouldn't be any left 2 share!Just like there are many KINDS of apples,& I like yellow ones,u like red ones!Thats THE preference we were born with. She said," oh..ok! Fathers Day must be a busy day for her" . Period.
Load More Replies... From the GF perspective... Currently engaged to a man that was raised by 2 moms. When he initially told me about his moms...my response was "so what"? His parents started off in a "traditional" marriage (mom and dad), parents divorced and mom found love (again, after bad divorce), with a female. My fiance is well adjusted, caring, nurturing, loving and understanding of the the things women deal with. As for those saying that a "traditional relationship" is the only way to raise a child, are so far off base. I have dated/married guys from "traditional" families and my fiance continues to blow my mind every day with his love. While he was growing up, his grandfathers stepped in...they were his surrogate father, as dad was less than admirable (abusive, drunk, etc) and they did an excellent job of teaching him everything a gentleman should be and what a gentleman isn't. My fiance and I are both older, and grew up when homosexuality was taboo, and he did exactly what this young man did..
What I like about this is at such a young age you are not compromising on deal breakers. It's so easy to do when you are wrapped up in the emotions that come with a new relationship. This means you have a much stronger chance of having healthier relationships in your future and finding partners that will enhance your life more. But, I dont know if I would keep it a secret from your parents. However, you know them best. Good job. It's really important to identify your deal breakers. You really did try to explain and work it out. Good job.
What struck me is that the girlfriend knows his moms. She was anticipating her parents' disapproval, but she also was ashamed of them...even though she knew them.
10 stars to that young man for loving and sticking up for his parents don't matter who they are or what sex come on we are not in the dungeon days anymore love is love and all are excepted in this world she needs to get over herself if she couldn't except someone she said she loves situation then she has alot to learn about love i suggest she stays single until she does what is she going to do next make a mate get rid of a pet good job dude you are one of a kind and your moms should be very proud of you and they should know the truth so they can see what a great son they have good luck finding your true love
You did the right thing! You are a well rounded, mature, and honest young man! Your moms' raised you right! You stood up for your parents, their and your beliefs, and I really think, it was your ex girlfriend who had the problem with two moms, not her parents. If you ever run into them and they ask why you broke up with their daughter, tell them the truth. Maybe it's a chance for them to do some education with her.
F**k her parents and her. Honor your mother's. If she really cared about y'all relationship she would tell her parents and if they care about her happiness then they should except it. If I had a son I would want them to be like you.. the fact you're a man with two mom I'm sure you're perfect when it comes to women's feelings and emotional support. They are stupid for their way of thinking. I hope you have a great life.
I'm disgusted, but also think I would've said something dumb like she did. Stuff like that really came out if my mouth as a kid, and it's probably less common now only because I can't be around people very often now. I would also have a ton of dumb questions. However, I'm old. I thought kids her age would know a bit better. Conservative family, I guess.
The sad thing is, she probably doesn't even truly know anyone who is gay or transgender etc.. she can't have empathy for people she's too afraid of to get to know.. if she had.. she would never had said any of those awful things...
Good for u for having a backbone and believing in your family. If u had given in on just this one thing, it would turn into a series of "just one more thing" that would never end
That girl doesn't deserve someone as a mature & loving as you.. for her sake I sincerely hope she'll evolve further than her parents have so far in their lives bc honestly it's only ever going to cause them issues, anyone else involved will simply realize what kind of people they are & chose to cut them off as you did. You're wise beyond your years & extremely compassionate as well as not selfish (for a teenager of any age, hell person of any age that's a seldom quality seriously!!) I fully understand why you'd be wary of telling your moms the situation in fear of them feeling guilty but if you were my son & explained things I'd be FAR TOO PROUD to even get upset seriously.. you'll find someone who actually shares your views & when you do you'll be so happy there's no secrecy or shame.
For a 17yr old to not be thinking with his d**k, good on him, and f**k her stupid closed-minded parents.
It sucks that his core group of friends don't seem to have empathy about the situation. If you are at the point of introducing your parents to your SO's parents, you can't hide one of your parents like that. I mean what was she thinking would happen when her parents said, "Glad you could come, sorry your husband wasn't able."
I really feel feel for op. After we moved back to my hometown, my mom went back to the other town to finish something and found out that the guy my brother was helping around his place was racist. Every since he's been around the guy, my brother has been spouting off racist things. He also is a homophobe. Niether of my parents are racist and niether are homophobic. So it makes me wonder if ex-girlfiend got it from her parents or an outside influence. (The school I went to, some of the kids were using being gay as an insult and put down.
Your moms raised you right, unlike your ex's so-called "normal" family.
What an awesome kid. And refusing to compromise on your family's values, refusing to hide your loved ones or make them hide who they are, refusing to be embarrassed of your loved ones... are all things you should APPRECIATE in a partner because it means they'll do the same for you! He'll find a great partner who loves this about him :) I'd say I hope he never questions that he did the right thing and is a great person but I think he knows this.
This was an episode of Steven Universe. Should just have the two moms merge into one giant mom so both of them can come but still only be one person.
"they don't like that" Sweetie, your parents are, in fact, homophobes. "It's different, because that's a normal couple". And so are you
How are they not raging homophobes if the mere presence of a same-sex couple would make them soo uncomforable and they have already instilled into their daughter that it's "not normal"?
Maybe not raging. But definitely homophobic. As you say, she must have picked up those ideas at home
Load More Replies... As a woman that grew up with 2 moms myself you should be proud of yourself and how you handled the situation, your gf was wrong to ask you to make a choice between one of your parents. We are in 2022 and love is love and if your gf and her parents are uncomfortable being around 2 individuals that love each other and their son then she definitely was not the right one for you. No room for small minded people in yours or your moms lives.
My husband of 24 years had two moms and a dad. It went like this for me, "Guess what, we got engaged, and by the way, boyfriends's parents are in a group marriage." Parents were like, "Great, when are you getting married?" You know what never mattered at all in our life together? The fact that his parents were in a group marriage. In fact, his bio parents died years ago and we luckily still have one mom left.
Its not normal just because you idiot liberals say it is, it is not, fricken weirdos
