How long did it take for you to tell your family about your SO? And how did you go about doing it?
I started by bringing up my SO as my "friend" who lived in Costa Rica. My mom was immediately like "oooh! He's your boyfriend??" and I would say no, because technically we weren't exclusive/official yet. I started bringing him up more and more into conversation and then was finally like "you know my friend, well he's coming to visit in November"
After he left, my mom asked if he was my boyfriend, and I finally admitted to it.
In total it took about 1.5 years to tell my mom we were together. And with my mom knowing, it just trickled through the family
