I'm bisexual and have a girlfriend but...
(I'm a girl btw)
Ihaven't told my nan and grandad (who I live with) I know they won't care that much but I still haven't told them I guess my anxiety just won't let me.
It's not exactly like I've been going out with this girl for a week or two we have been girlfriends for two months or even more Idk.
It feels like it's been too long and I need too tell them as everyone but them knows but I don't know how to anyone got any ideas.

Hey @Whatevertreveor how have things been? Have you had a conversation with your family yet? It can be a stressful experience, so it's perfectly okay if you feel like you need a bit more time and/or preparation 
Congratulations for your relationship @Whatevertreveor
Coming out is an especially tough time, but it's really good you've been thinking of doing it if that will make you happy
You're really brave and showing a lot of self-awareness, I wish you so much luck when you do decide to tell them!
Just like at @ILAUVEDEN said, often we expect rejection and the worse case scenario but often we always perceive situations to be worse than they are actually going to be.
Please keep us updated!
hello @Whatevertreveor
i wish you luck telling your grandparents 🙂 i think its pretty brave of you so well done and i do hope it goes well for you 🙂
Hi @Whatevertreveor what do you get anxious about when you imagine yourself telling your nan and grandad that you have a girlfriend?
Hey @Whatevertreveor,
From what I have gathered you really want to be open with you grandparents about your girlfriend but you're not sure how to do it. You mentioned that your grandparents won't care that much about it, have the topic of your sexuality came up? I'm also bi and i know that whenever the topic of my sexuality comes up with my parents I immediately shoot it down. But it sounds like you are quiet comfortable with yourself and have came out to everyone apart from your nan and grandpa. Since the marriage equality results are released you can try to bring up their opinion on it and start from asking them how they feel about it. There isn't a right or wrong way of coming out. But a good way to do it is just start by sitting them down and just talking to them about it, you might be surprised by their reaction. Sometimes we tend to expect the worst outcome to avoid rejection. You can mention how much your girlfriend means to you and you'll never know maybe they will be happy for you, if not they get a chance to warm up the the idea of it. Just go with your gut, if the idea of telling them excite you as much as it makes you nervous you know it's the right time. I hope that helps.
Hey @Whatevertreveor!!
It is pretty anxiety-inducing coming out to anyone, especially family! It can be hard to figure out how to start the conversation, and hopefully people here have some ideas they could give you
It might depend on the relationship you have with them and how you think they might react - for example, when I've come out to my friends its usually been pretty casual, but to come out to some family members might mean sitting down and talking with them about what it means and talking through any worries they might have.
The only other thing I can think of is that it can become draining or stressful to come out to someone, so putting some time aside for self-care can be really helpful.
Hope this helps
