    If you're married or currently dating someone, how do they feel about your bisexuality?

    Are they fully accepting of it?

    If they don't know you're bisexual, do you plan to tell them?

    My wife told me she was Bi when we first met and of course I was fully excepting but I did not tell her about my sexuality until several years after we had been together. She didn’t seem surprised and seemed to take it well but we don’t talk about it much.

    Hey

    I was married to a woman for nearly 30 years before I told her I was bisexual. She is accepting of it and I do have a FWB that she knows and likes.

    My husband knows, and wasn't the least bit surprised when I told him (I also told him pretty much right after I'd reached the conclusion myself, so it wasn't as though I hid anything from him). There were plenty of conversations and other, somewhat subtler hints that indicated my bisexuality throughout our years together. Coupling that with the fact that he himself questioned his sexuality at one point in time (now completely comfortable in his heterosexuality), he's never had a problem with it. :slight_smile:

    Men seem to go through the same problem in reverse. Girlfriends are generally accepting, boyfriends either believe they are actually gay or are insecure that they might leave them for a woman.

    Of course this a pretty big generalization. And bi men may encounter this with women as well since society is less accepting of the idea of bisexual men in general for whatever reason.

    I've also noticed that society seems to be less accepting of bisexual men than bisexual women. Weird!

    Another thing I've also heard is that a large percentage of straight women refuse to date bisexual men. On the other hand, I haven't heard about straight men refusing to date bisexual women.

    This is obviously a generalization, but I do think there is some truth to it.
