https://www.queerty.com/mom-breaks-sons-heart-says-hes-killing-marrying-boyfriend-20201210Telling your parents youre engaged to marry should be a joyous moment. Not so for one man who accepted a proposal of marriage from his boyfriend, and was then faced with having to tell his homophobic mother.
Despite already knowing her views, social media influencer Henry Jimenez still wants his Mexican mother to accept his wedding plans and consider attending the ceremony. He filmed himself calling his mom . and her disappointed reaction to the news.
Jimenez re-shared the video to TikTok and then Instagram earlier this week. The conversation is in Spanish but he provided English subtitles.

(6,187 posts)"I love my mother... but I don't like her. And, I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual." Learning your parents are not the universal, all-knowing, all loving deities you thought they were when you were a little kid is a tough lesson to internalize. Learning they are worse is more than devastating. My heart goes out to that boy, and I hope he finds love and happiness with his new mate. Just as I did.

Best wishes for a long and happy marriage to the couple.
