Date: 2019-03-12 05:11 pm (UTC)Premptive honesty by the father is going to damage his relationships with his wife, probably daughter, and probably the relationship of the correspondent with members of the family.
Premeptive honesty by the correspondent damages the relationship between father and mother and, as the trigger of that, between correspondent and most other people.
The chances of honesty producing a family dynamic where the correspondent is welcomed as a member of the family by everyone in it seems slender.
Letting it lie is, I think, going to lead to a volatile and festering situation which is very, very likely to end badly. Either because the truth comes out or because the unspoken truth damages relationships.
So I think it's a fair bet that this is going to end badly at some point and the longer it goes on the more bad the ending is likely to be.
I mean, imagine six years in to the future when the family gather to celebrate Christmas with new grandchildren and the whole story comes out.

Date: 2019-03-13 09:49 am (UTC)It strikes me that he could tell the girlfriend about the bi phase and that it's going to affect her family and then ask her whether she wants to know more before disclosing the full story. She deserves to understand as much as she wants to and for them to discuss whether they want to face the fall out together, rather than him deciding for both of them based on her father's wishes.
