    Smile - He's all into sports and cars , a wrestler ,all the stereotypical things etc. He came out to us 3 years ago and my husband didn't take it in the greatest way, but he never shunned Lake or treated him differently and seemingly accepted it.

    Font - Last year Lake met his first boyfriend Nathan (16M) who's a theater kid and more intune with his feminine side. My husband was a bit apprehensive about Nathan at first but accepted it.

He recently started painting his nails and sometimes he'll come with me and his Aunt to get his nails done and such.

    Font - ollygollymolly • 15h Pooperintendant [56] You are NTA. Your husband sounds like the epitome of toxic masculinity, and really needs to examine why "like a girl" is bad in his mind. I was never into doing my nails until an ex BF (very straight then & now, 10 years later) got me into getting them down with him. Nails are nails, and nail art is just fun.
