I don't think that it's because he's ashamed of you. You don't know how his parents could react and a lot can be at stake for him, especially if he still lives at home. Not everyone is brave enough to risk everything if they know their parents will react negatively toward their big news.

Try to encourage him to talk to them about it but in the end this may just be something you have to support him on because you don't really know what could happen.

Best of luck!

I think that a time comes when you have to sacrifice relationships for the sake of your own identity. There comes a time when selfishness is ok.

In this instance, if he really loves you.... or even likes you for that matter... he should be selfish enough to tell his parents about you without caring about their reaction.

On the same token, if he doens't do this, you have to be selfish enough to kiss him goodbye if the toll it's taking on you isn't worth it.

I hope this helps! =)

I was in a similar position where I had a boyfriend for four months, and we agreed originally that we could be together and not really tell many people - just those that are in the circle of friends that we enjoy (our circle is primarly gay men).

I have not come out to my parents or friends yet, even though I have accepted the fact that I am gay. It is just one of those things that is really hard to do in life, in my opinion, and will come in due time.

It's true! It will come in due time. Be careful with who you tell, though, because word gets around. Many parents are hurt when they find out from other sources that their kid is gay.

I must be a freak of nature! I told my parents when I was 16, they said I was a sick o, I left and never returned. Now we get along and its cool ( I considered it there problem, not mine) but I wouldn't change a thing. I was never bi. I was never straight. Never been with a girl. I am a perfect Kinsey 6 and proud of it. If you tell those you love then they will still love you and if they don't they never really did. And if they really do, they will come to accept your authentic self.After all, you are still you, you didn't change, you just came out.I would tell that bi boyfriend to jump in the lake and find me a REAL man! Honesty and being out is HOT HOT HOT and real men don't pretend.!!!!!

Coming out can be hard on people. Some people just aren't properly ready to accept who they are. I know that I still can't quite accept it and still haven't told my dad that I had a girlfriend for nearly four months. Just be strong, and have faith that he will tell his folks about you guys. Never not trust your boyfriend or girlfriend.

maybe he dun wanna his parents to know he is bi.. how would they react to that?

There's only some select people in my life right now that know, which is fine by me.

One thing though, my mother is very racist and homophobic. Over the recent years, I have distanced my family because of it, among other issues. I'm at a point where if I tell them or not, it won't really matter. But we'll see what the future brings.
