My family doesn’t accept my relationship

I’ve been dating my girlfriend, Lily, for a year, but my family refuses to accept us. It’s breaking my heart. How do I handle this without losing my family?

Hey heartbrokenlover, that’s really tough. It’s okay to feel heartbroken—your feelings are valid. Maybe try open, gentle conversations with your family when they’re ready, and give them time to process. Remember, you deserve love and support just as you are. Hang in there, and lean on friends or support groups for extra comfort. You’re not alone in this.
