So I (19m) met my boyfriend (18m) when we were both 16. (Only 4 months older then him) At first we were just close friends, we didn't know that we both were gay and liked eachother. We met through a mutual freind. I came out to him last year and told him that I had a crush on him but said that I didn't want it to change anything between us and that if he didn't like me we can still be just friends. I was internally panicking because he was so quite while I told and only looked me dead in the eyes. When I finished he instantly kissed me then told he had the same feelings and that he was scared too. At that moment I just started sobbing quietly in his arms while he tried to comfort me. We live in a small town, mostly super religious families live here. We were both scared becuase both of our parents are super homophobic. We've been dating from that point on. Since we were established friends before we became boyfriends it was easy to convince our parents to let us hangout with eachother. Sometimes we would ask our parents if we could fly to a different city for gaming events and what not, and spend the week in a hotel room together instead.

We both new to stay safe and keep everything a secrete from everyone as to not be thrown out on the street. We both worked really hard and between us managed to save up close to 100k. We hoped to save up more so we could buy a place but that didn't go to plan. Last week I stupidly left my phone unlocked while I was messaging my boyfriend to go to the bathroom for 2 mins. Somehow in that time frame my dad walked in and saw the messages. He instantly started freaking out, calling me all kinds of slurs, saying that im a disgrace. After he was done yelling at me I texted my boyfriend what had just happened but he didn't respond for a while. When he did it turned out that my dad had called my boyfriends mum (our families are close) and she went balestic on him. By the end of the night, our parents had kicked both of us out. We're in a hotel and applying for every apartment we can afford. We both still work and make around $6000 between both of us. So we're well off and can rent a small apartment.

Over the last few days our parents having been texting and calling us. They keep telling us that we're assholes for letting the devil tempt us with sin, and that they are disappointed that were ending our bloodlines (were both single kids) and that were emberssing them. Were both pretty shocked and saddned by this becuase we didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Even though my boyfriend doesn't blame me for what happened, I still can feel that he somewhat resents me for what happened. I did try talking to him, but he keeps saying that it was bound to happen because how homophobic our parents were. I feel very terrible. Sefice to say our sex life hasn't been the same, and I cant help but feel like it was all my fault.

AITAH for being the reason both my boyfriend and I got kicked out?
