The Question
"Guess-Who" Came to Dinner Hi. I am a bi woman who is happily married to a cool man and we have a fabulous daughter and life is generally really good. My problem is that because of financial reasons we moved in with another couple who also has a child the same age as ours. My roommates recently found out I am bi when an old girlfriend arrived in town and had dinner at our house. They kinda flipped and said that I was not to influence their son in any way concerning sexuality, like it is the flu or something. My question is how do I in a non-confrontational way say chill out or this roommate thing will never work? By the way my family and my hubby are very happy and accepting of who I am. - Sara The Answer
Darklady Says: Hi, Sara. Sounds like a tough spot to be in, that's for sure. The "financial reasons" you mention obviously complicate this situation since it sounds like your family is living in another couple's home, which means they have some influence over how you can lead your life. Tricky. The first thing I recommend you do it make an appointment with your husband to talk about your options. It's important that the two of you present a united front on this issue and agree about where your priorities are. Depending on those "financial reasons," you may need to back off on this until you're in a position to negotiate terms more evenly.
