My girlfriend and I have been dating for the past 18 months. Most of it has been good, but we tend to fight some about the fact she's in the closet. I've been out to my family and friends since I was 15 (I'm 22 now) and they have completely embraced her in my life; my family LOVES her and say she's a 'keeper'.
But the door is only open one way.
Although she has told about 3-4 close friends about us, she has told me that she will never tell her family about us. When we go out, she will walk in front or behind me, but never with me. And she can invite herself to hang out with me and my friends, but I'm never invited to go out with her and hers. Most of our relationship is kept behind closed doors.
I know she loves me very much, but every time I try to talk to her about it, she says she will change but never does.
I feel I'm putting more into this relationship than I am getting in return.
Is hiding in the closet a real issue to break up over? Or am I just being selfish?
