u/Scrupulous_MoFo

Hello, so I’m a 30 yo gay guy who cannot come out to my parents because they’re extremely traditional and conservative (so coming out is not an option that i would want to consider at all because it might make the situation worse).

They’ve tried scolding, scaring, emotionally blackmailing me, to try and convince me for marriage, and I’ve stood my ground and said no every single time. But it’s starting to get to me because they won’t stop, I keep receiving biodatas for arranged matches and I’m fed up of saying no at this point.

Coming out is not an option, saying a clear NO to marriage hasn’t worked, I’m not sure if I can make a lavendar marriage work, idk what my options are. If any of you have faced similar situations, would love to know how you’re handling/dealing with this issue.

PS: I’m taking therapy as well, but still weighing in on options from folks who’ve faced something similar so I can figure out if there’s a better way than my current approach.
