The thing is, and I’m mad at him for it— the way he reacted when I first told him was so positive and accepting. In general he’s a kind and accepting person. I’m still holding out hope that he’s joking and would hope he wouldn’t turn away or reject our kids.

It's not funny. Are his jokes usually bad?

If you want to be sure, you can try directly asking him what happens if your son brings home a boyfriend.

Honestly, yes. He once joked that he was actually racist, and I was really mad about it, close to breaking up with him, then when we sat down to talk about it, he goes, “wait, you thought I was being serious?”

Now having known him awhile, I’ve realized that that’s just his attempt at humor, whether it’s just because he’s from a different culture or is a genuine sociopath who just says things for shock value… I’m not sure, the culture thing is just easier to accept. I sound so stupid I know.

I’m going to have to ask him about it later.
