    Hi, Cupcake14.

    Your stuation sounds a lot like mine in certain aspects. I was in a relationship with a man for 5 years and I was really unhappy in it. I avoided sex at all costs because I didn't like to have sex with him and it wasn't pleasant, even though I tried to convince myself that it was. I've always been attracted to women, but I guess I was in denial.

    From your description, I would say that you don't sound too comfortable and confident in your current relationship, but I might be wrong. Anyway, only you can decide what course you want your life to take and no one can tell you if you are really gay but yourself. It's okay to be confused, just make sure that you handle things with care. Is this something you would ever discuss with your husband? Is he someone you can talk to?

    I wanted to ask the same thing AnimeFreak4 did - have you discussed any of your feelings with your husband? I know how hard that can be. I (recently-ish) had to have a conversation with my husband about my sexuality. That is one place you can start - as long as you feel comfortable and safe having that discussion with him. Also ... I know that growing up in a household that says being gay is not okay can really skew your perspective on yourself and your own feelings. I also grew up in a house where it would have been unacceptable to bring a woman home. This caused me to push a lot of feelings down and not really explore them as openly as I wish I had. I had to keep telling myself that my feelings mattered and that I had to take my family out of the equation to be able to dig deep down and figure out what I felt was truly okay for myself. I am not even all the way there, so I understand about it being confusing - and I am sorry you had to deal with that growing up.

    Hey that is a tricky situation you are in. Nobody here can tell you whether you are gay or bi or what but we can help you work through it.
    I think you have to try in a way to separate your relationship and your sexuality as they are both separate issue whilst at the same time linked.
    You sound unhappy in your relationship, has it always been like that? If not how long has it been like that? In the beginning were you attracted to your husband?

    As for your sexuality, if you imagine being with a girl how does that make you feel?

    I think this is really stellar advice, and a perfect way to approach the situation. This just made me reflect on the way I have been looking at my marriage and my sexuality.
