This is what my mom and dad say, as well. Other friends have also shared similar ideas. They are trying to make the data fit their hypothesis. Their hypothesis being that there is nothing inherently super-different about me and that I can continue having the happy life they've seen me lead up to this point. They ignore data like, this is the third time in my life I have fallen in love with a woman so severely it took my breath away. But then again, they aren't there when I cry into the pillow after sex with H (even when it is good) b/c it isn't with HER. THey don't see all the sadness, just the happy family. Part of the problem is that I was very, very good for many years at concealing my same sex attraction from H and from them. So they see me as straight and don't want to look at any other evidence.
I hear you.
