Day 12: How did you tell your family and friends about your relationship? We’re they supportive? What about your partner?
Luis: One day I said I have something important to say, we was there at the garden of my house face to face with my parents. I began to explain I met a girl online, she are now my girlfriend and the fact she lives in other country (maple nation, Canada) they have a close mind in this way so they had a defensive position and with time they began to realized this was real so they accepted it. With my friends, just the close friend knew about she, because I was talking about her with them and when we decided to put our relationship to everybody, was like a bomb! xD, because for the people of my town it's not comun have a couple from other country, from USA yes but not from Canada or other so they took this like wow!
Laura: I wanted to tell my parents about my relationship during my mid semester vacation so I didn't told them but change my relationship on facebook to «In couple with Luis Felipe ». My sister saw it and told my mother about it. Some days after, I called my mom and she was angry because I didn't told her, but I wanted to tell her the next week. Still, she was open about it. I think she thought (and my father too) it was not serious, but with time she saw we were serious and she began to really like him even before she met him. Now that she met him, she really really likes him and my parents support us, but it's still difficult for them to think their daughter is in a serious relationship. My friends were surprise at first because I was not talking a lot about my feelings (even if I was talking about him a lot), but they were supportive too.^^
