A story was shared online by a girl who has always been telling her mother that she wants to remain single and does not want to have kids.
The girl shares that she is actually interested in her own gender but she is unable to come out as she thinks that it is easier for people to think that she prefers to be alone than to admit her orientation.
Another factor that is stopping her from ‘coming out’ is because of the job that she is holding.
It is unclear what kind of job she is holding and it’s most probably a sensitive job.
Here is her story
“I’ve told my mum I don’t want to get married or have kids. I’ve let her think it’s because I’m not the most attractive person and can’t find people to date, but actually it’s because it’s easier to pretend to be forever alone than to admit that I’m lesbian/bi.
Forever alone is still a very real prospect though. Can’t come out cos of my job, which pays well and is just too comfortable to give up. Which means dating is a problem. Oh well I’m resigned to it.”
Here are what netizens think:
- The girl might have a point because in many countries like ours, we can actually get married legally
- Not only marry, you want to buy HDB need to buy as single. Wait until 35 years old.
- I curious leh, SG what job cannot ‘come out’ teacher ah?
- hope everything is doing right for you, its not easy as the society acceptance is very different from acceptance from family
- Sometimes living a lie is like living two lives. You can’t do this, maybe you should go to another country that legalize gay marriage. It’s better than staying to suffer. You should do something about it once we can travel more easily.
