Hey! I am from a conservative family. And thinking of going down the road towards a straight marriage. I am more worried for my girlfriend than for myself. I know it’s 2021 but am definitely planning to stay the straight course though due to my upbringing and stuff. It’s either single or straight married for me.
If you're having all these questions and worries about the straight path, give it a miss. You've already said it's 2021, the world is changing and you're in New York - quite liberal and you have Cuomo as governor but for how much longer who knows!
Worried about girlfriend?! rightly so, she'll clock that you're not totally 100% straight when the sex stops, she'll want to know why, she'll go abroad for sex if you're not giving it to her, she'll question your conservative parents about the lack of sex and then the wheels will come off, everything will be awful for you - you've lied, you've cheated her, you've deceived etc
As for staying single if you go the other path, no, don't do it, be true to yourself, find a man you want to be with you'll be much happier in the long run it is 2021, well we are nearly half way through and soon it will be 2022
Stay strong or not actually, you're staying strong atm for the wrong reasons
