I Tried

I told myself a few weeks ago that I would tell my sister that I'm bi. She's a few years older than me, and we can usually talk about personal stuff and keep our parents out of it. I've really wanted her to know because I've wanted someone in my family to know, and to have someone to talk to. I wrote a letter but couldn't send it. We've hung out several times these past couple of weeks, but I just don't know how to get on the topic. I'm starting to realize how scary all of this is.
I'm also scared of my girlfriend getting mad at me. She acts pissed about any of my friends knowing, even though anyone at school could probably guess that we're together. She doesn't like much of my family, and she doesn't want to come out for a long while, if ever.
I really want to be able to tell my sister, but I feel that if I tell her she'll pretty much know that we're together. I'm trying to do this without denying myself the right to tell her while respecting my girlfriend.
I'm just really scared right now. I might try to send the letter again tonight.

That would be tough trying

That would be tough trying to come out when your girlfriend really doesn't want to. Its difficult enough when its just you, but if shes not ready, you still have to keep secrets. I think if you tell your sister your girlfriend will understand. Your close to your sister and you can trust her not to tell anyone so even if she does firgure out that you two are going out, it wouldn't get out to anyone else. I think if you want to come out to your sister then assure your girlfriend that even if she does guess it that she can be trusted to keep it a secret.

Good luck with it all!
