Situationships

Forced marriage?

I'm literally at my wit's end here... my parents are thier usual overbearing selves, insisting I marry this girl they've chosen for me. Thing is, I'm gay and I've been trying to tell them for years but they just wont listen. Ngl, it's been really tough keeping this secret from them, but I know if I tell them, they'll disown me or worse. I've met the girl, she's nice and all, but I just cant do it. I feel like I'm being forced into a life I dont want. My parents are giving me an ultimatum - marry her or be cut off from the family. I dont know what to do, I'm so scared of losing them but I also cant imagine living a lie. I've tried talking to them, explaining how I feel, but they just say I'm confused and that I need to do what's best for the family. I'm definately at a loss here...

i've been in your shoes, kinda - my family's super traditional too. i came out to mine a few years ago & it was a huge mess, but honestly it was liberating. my advice is to take some time to think about what you really want, not what your parents want. you gotta consider the girl's feelings too, she doesn't deserve to be married to someone who's not into her. have you thought about talking to a therapist or a trusted friend about this? sometimes just having someone to talk to helps. you don't have to go through with the wedding, there are ways to get out of it without completely cutting your parents off - i did it, you can too
