We have slept together, lived together, and been a "family" for years. My girlfriend however refuses to be open with our 4 year old about our sexuality. She asked me questions about 6 months ago like "Why are you and Mommy together, you can't get married because only girls and boys can get married..and besides who will lift who up?" I tried to briefly explain that anyone can love anyone and it doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl, all that matters is the love you have for the other person. My girlfriend got pissed off at me for attempting to explain, and thinks that she should not believe that it is okay to be gay, due to religious reasons. I have tried to tell my girlfriend that hiding it is going to make our daughter more resentful towards it later in life. She also will not allow our door to be shut with our daughter sleeping and will not tell her that she has to knock before coming into the room, because of this our daughter has woke up and caught us jumping up from something on many different occasions. What should I do? How can I get through to my girlfriend about being more open with our daughter. Should I even stay in a relationship with someone who is so shameful about being a lesbian? I need help. I have been with my girlfriend since her daughter was about 3-6 months old. We have slept together, lived together, and been a “family” for years.

My partner and I have 2 boys, ages 6 and 1. Our bedrooms are all very close in proximity, and all doors are always open. But when they go to bed, we have time alone.

That way, you can be intimate, keep your doors open for safety reasons, and still hear her coming if she needs you. Four is old enough for guidelines. Doesn’t your daughter ever sleep?
