Help! We've kept it a secret for 5 1/2 yrs!

My boyfriend and I have been in a SECRET relationship for a long time (from his family, anyway) and he has basically had to lie to them, and say I was moving in as a roommate just recently.

To keep a long story short, his family and older brother flipped out about me being his roommate even though they know we've been good friends since college. My family and our friends have been awesome and SUPER supportive, but for more info on the situation, read my journal entry for today (10/12/09).

What I want to know is, where do we go from here with his family? Do we just go for broke? They are already pretty upset with him over me moving in as a roommate, and aren't speaking to him yet (it's been two days since he told them). Any advice would be appreciated and YES I know it's stupid to keep it from them for this long.

" I'm sorry his family are being so much trouble but I think you guys need to be straight wiht them and then deal with the fall out...there is something that just does not sit well when relationships have secrets, honesty is important... "

" I've known that, and we are very honest with each other. There's no future in a secret deal, but the only thing is that I won't push him to tell his family. Now based on their recent reaction I think it might be the best thing to do.

There's just not an easy way to enlighten folks. *sigh* "
