A few days ago my gf and I got caught being intimate. Her mom heard us in the bedroom and banged on the door. My gf heard nothing because she is Deaf. I did my best to communicate what was happening, but I was in a compromising position at the time. By the time my gf and I were on the same page, the damage was done. Her mom heard it all.
Yesterday my gf sent me a message to inform me that her parents wanted to have a discussion with the two of us regarding recent events. I agreed to meet with them at their house towards the end of the day.
This is what I expected to happen:
- Uncomfortable conversation with the parents about my shenanigans with their daughter.
- Awkward apology from me.
- Parents accepting my apology and encouraging my gf and I to practice safe sex, even though no sex at all would probably be their preference.
- I use what I've learned in sign language to tell the parents how much I love their daughter and hopefully make them like me more.
- Wholesome-ish ending.
So, 1 - 3 kind of happened as expected, but I managed to fuck up 4 and 5.
This is what happened:
I've been learning sign language on an on and off basis for months now. I'm nowhere near good enough, but my gf and I thought it might disarm her parents if I made a small gesture in sign language to show how much I cared about her. It sounded like an excellent suggestion on paper, but I was worried that I would fuck it up because my sign language skills kind of suck. My gf encouraged me to learn something simple. Like an I love you or whatever. I thought maybe an "I love your daughter" to the parents would be better.
However, due to the stress of her parents confronting us and the pressure to avoid saying the wrong things, including the sign language part, I became overwhelmed and miscommunicated the sign for "daughter" and signed "I love your whore." I knew the sign had something to do with touching the side of the cheek or chin, so I did what I thought made sense instead of aborting the mission when I forgot the fucking sign. Instant regret. My gf buried her face in her hands. I could tell she was laughing. Her parents didn't have the same reaction. The two of them looked at me like I was the poop demon in Dogma.
I had no idea it was an inappropriate sign when it happened, but it was obvious I did something wrong. It was the complete opposite of a wholesome ending. My gf video called me afterwards to show me the difference between "daughter" and "whore" in sign language and to tell me I should probably avoid her parents for the time being because I'm not their favourite person at the moment. Guess I'm never gonna make a good impression now.
Tl:dr I wanted to show my Deaf gf's parents how much I appreciated their daughter by using sign language to say "I love your daughter", but I accidentally signed "I love your whore" instead.
