Gosh i don't know what to do other than pretending this didn't happen at all?

It feels like he's judging me for the past few days (i've told him last week).

We've been together for a year and a half now, I never let him get my phone in fear that he would see the furry stuff in there, and in a jealosy fit of his I decided to trust him and told him I was a furry.

He didn't know anything about It, and trying to explain what furries were made him innitially think I was a zoophile for a split minute, gosh, the rage and disgust in his voice for those split seconds still breaks my heart when i look back at it.

I tried showing him furry art to try and make him see what furries were, bit all he said was, "these are Animals" in an accusatory tone...

But, at the end he seems to have accepted It, said he loves me, that we should not kink-shame each other, and then we kinda pretended that didn't happen for the rest of the date cause It was very embarassing.

But now and then he keeps sending messages about It, and saying stuff like, "you like to fuck Monsters"

I think he is doing research, he asked me if i was into puppyplay.

The bad thing is that he says and asks these things in an accusatory tone, as If I should be embaressed.

For the First time in months in feeling very lost in my realationship, fearing that this could be a Rift between us that would only grow bigger with time.

How could i better explain what furries are to my boyfriend?

I fear he still thinks it's a zoophile thing, and as I Said, he is still researching, but, when he did that on the date before my explanation, Google only showed him the absolute worst the fandom has to offer.

Maybe instead of explaining all of furrydom, it might help to explain what being a furry is for you and from your standpoint. I mean, I've known furries who had multiple fursuits and went to conventions wearing them, but I've also known some who just liked to express themselves online. That's a wide spectrum, and it's probably hard for him to get an idea of who Teknevra is from internet strangers.

I think you started on uneven ground, because you said you feared him finding out yet had to out yourself to soothe his jealousy. Don't answer this here, but what is it that you were hiding and protecting from him?
