Dear Prudie 2014 does not disappoint

Dear Prudence,
My wife and I have two wonderful children, "Rebekah" and "Robbie." They have always been close and share many of the same friends. Both are living at home while attending a local college. Rebekah is very popular and has many platonic male friends, but she has developed a real crush on a young man in her class, "Jason.” Recently, my wife and I returned home after a night out, and I went to check on Robbie who has a room in the basement. I was startled to find him and Jason lying on his bed, kissing and undressing each other. I was not seen and left quietly. My wife told me that Rebekah was asleep in her bedroom upstairs, and I muttered to my wife that Robbie was home. A few days later I returned home early to the sounds of two men having sex in the basement. I got into my car and took a long drive. When I got back, Rebekah had just arrived and she and Robbie and Jason were in the kitchen fixing a snack. I love my son and will always support him, but there are several issues. First, my wife will be unhappy to learn our son is gay. Robbie is an adult and it's not my place to tell her, but she will eventually find out. Also, we do not tolerate sexual activity in the house, regardless of sexual orientation, so there can't be a double standard with Robbie. I will have to tell him, and he will know that I know. Most important, I fear Rebekah will be hurt, and I don't want this development to damage the close relationship she and her brother have always had. What should I do?

  • She can just do like I did with my high school boyfriend who was gay and become his hag. It's a good life, especially now that he lives up in NYC and I have an excuse to visit more often.

  • 1.  He's not as okay with his son being gay as he seems to want Prudie to think, though I find it to be interesting that he knows immediately how to pinpoint the sound of men having sex with men.

    2.  Parents making rules for their adult offspring's sexual activity is creepy and controlling as fuck, and it being their house doesn't change that.

  • I'm kinda sincerely disgusted by parents who say they wouldn't be happy if their child is gay. Such a shitty way to approach life.

  • I also think he's not as ok with it as he makes it sound.

    Tough situation.

    Being a hag isn't always what it's cracked up to be.  I had a huge crush on a boy that turned out to be gay in high school as well, and he used me to pretend that he was straight.  As soon as he had the courage to come out, which was very well received at our school, he dropped me like a hot coal and embraced his new fabulous "out" lifestyle, even though I was his faithful hag for over a year.  Whomp whomp.

    He still contacts me via FB message once every few months or so, but whenever a new man comes into his life, he cuts me out again "for fear that I'll be hurt since I had such strong feelings for him."  Yeah, that was in high school.  Ten years ago.  And I married somebody else.  Obviously not still pining over you, dude.

    That succckkksss. I come from a long, proud line of hags and we've never had problems. I'm glad that I still have a great relationship with my Dahmy.

    I LOLed at "There is no sexual activity allowed in the house." You don't have sex with your wife, dude? At all? Do you have to rent a hotel to do it in? 

    When I lived at home as an adult, my parents *asked* me to please not bring my boyfriend over to have sex, because I had minor siblings, and my parents didn't want me to be an example of pre-marital sex. But they asked, because I was an adult, and they said that I could make my own life decisions. Since it was their house, and they didn't have me paying rent, I of course acquiesced.

    This part made me chuckle.
  • My FI's parents have a similar rule when it comes to their house. It didn't matter how long you've been together you don't get to share a room/the same bed with your significant other till you're married.

    They are religious (Catholics) and they do not believe in pre martial sex. They know with all their kids from being at college with their SO, living together before the wedding, etc. that we most likely have had it but when you are in their house they do not condone it and do not want it flaunted in their face. Out of respect for them we have followed this rule.

    I have no problem with it, FI's older brother and his FI hated it so they never stayed over for the holidays.

    I would say it's their house, their rules applies to this. You want to be able to have sex whenever you want, move out then. Until then there are some rules you should abide by when you're still living with your parents.
