So, I’m dating this girl. (Same sex relationship.)
Here’s the basics of it:
We’re both teenagers.
We met online.
She lives in New York, I live in Ohio.
We’ve been dating for two years.
We’re in love.
We’re both -secretly- bisexual.
Only our immediate best friends know about us.
But, lately I’ve been depressed about that last part. I want to be like all other couples; be “In a Relationship With- on Facebook, be able to write “I love you.” on her wall, be able to call her when she’s with her friends. I also want people to know that she’s not on the market, that she’s mine.
But, for some reason neither of us have ever talked about making it public. Only in the case of “What if I moved there?” But, we both know that won’t happen until I turn 18. And, that’s a long time from now.
Basically, I’m depressed because I’m living a completely secret life and when all my other friends talk about their relationship at the lunch table, I have nothing to say. Because all in all, she’s my little secret.
So, i guess my question is, how would I go about fixing this depression issue?

I’m In A Closeted Relationship..?

Okay, so you say that you haven’t really had a conversation about going public with your girlfriend. That was fine up till now when it wasn’t bothering you, but now that it is, I think it’s time to bring up the topic with her.
Start by telling her how much you love her, and how, even though it isn’t her fault, it hurts you that she’s seen as single even though you guys are in a serious relationship. Tell her that you want the world to know what a great girl you’ve got, and that being secret about it isn’t okay with you anymore. But at the same time, be careful to ask her too whether she wants to go public as well.
Tell her that even if you don’t want to go all out with being public by doing stuff like changing your Facebook relationship status etc., you can always start with the little stuff like being able to call each other while hanging out with other people.
And the fact that your best friend(s) know about you makes things a whole lot easier. You’ve already got the most important people covered. And if they know about this since so long, I’m sure they’ll support you through it if you choose to make your relationship known to the world.
In the end, just do what YOU feel is right. It’s your relationship after all, and what you want is completely natural and justified.
Best of luck and I hope this helps <3
