Hello,

I'm a British guy living in London with a Russian boyfriend and we have been together for 2 months now. The thing is though, my parents know about him and are fine about it.

But his mother does not (his father is away in St Petersburg they are divorced), he tells me "It's just a matter of time" before he feels he can tell her. I am not pressuring him to tell her, but it would be nice not to be kept in the dark.

She has seen my photos recently and my boyfriend told me she likes what she sees, but I suppose she only thinks that I am just a friend. But we were both happy about the positive reaction and hope it will be easier for him to tell her.

But for a start, she doesn't even know that he has attraction for males (he tells me he is bi-sexual), however he has told her he is "seeing someone"

To the point though, the question I want to ask is - How are Russian parents accepting for having a son who is attracted to the same sex? And in a same sex relationship?

I guess, like everywhere in the world, saddened they wont be able to hold grand children in their hands while wondering whose parent he/she might resemble most. Rolling Eyes

I dunno about you, but my parents wouldn't take it lightly. And for the most part would feel like they failed at parenthood.... if I brought home a female sex partner and said mom/dad she's my thing. LOL

..to add to that comment, if I would have been with a man before 21 my father wouldn't have taken it lightly. Go figure. I love my dad.

Russian people are usually conservative and you will NEVER be welcome to see his parents. Also, homosexual orientation is usually the result of pedophile influence in your early adolescent days, so you people need psychological help, not more perversion. Just ask yourself how you started doing the disgusting acts. Who made you? I am absolutly sure you were pretty normal until you met a certain pedophile, who gradually made you deviate from normal human behaiviour.

Lets not try to be judgmental, people.

This doesn't seem like a 'Russian' problem, but rather, a boyfriend problem.

You'll have to see how your guy is in his relationship with his parents. If he is not able to resolve the issue with them, it is not your fault and you might rather stay out of the way. Generally parents, Russian or not, are conservative.

It's very common for most parents to need some time. Sometimes quite a while. For a long time now, a relation of mine has been going through a very difficult issue with his parents' acceptance of his orientation - and his significant other. Not until more than four years later did his parents finally invite both of them over last Christmas to meet with him. But it doesn't take this long for everyone.
