I understand that if a guy IS bisexual it can be difficult to mention such a thing but I would be pissed if he didn't tell me.

I have no problem being friends with bisexuals. A couple of my friends are and I love them to bits and have absolutely no concerns about them with regard AIDS or any other disease ABOVE AND BEYOND the normal concerns I have of any of my friends becoming infected but ultimately I don't have the kind of emotional make up that could cope with being involved with a bisexual. SO it's not really about them. It's about recognizing what I can and cannot cope with.
Well said! I agree!

I'd say, 'I guess it's time for that threesome!'

Jk. Actually, I'd be pretty devastated and ask for a divorce.

You can't really control your sexual orientation. I would assume he'd be no different than any hetero or gay man who knows right from wrong. If he said he wanted to actually pursue being with other people, it wouldn't matter if it was a man or woman. It would be over.

Default Ladies, How would you react if your Husband/BF told you he was Bisexual?

This is the kind of reasoning that doesn't pick off the weak ones fast enough.

So what if they're bi? It doesn't mean that they're sleeping around. It doesn't mean that they aren't monogamous, if you also can't handle not being the most important person in a relationship. If your ego is that brittle that you can't handle that, you just shouldn't be dating period. I'm always amazed and a little disturbed at how vanilla most of my fellow Americans are.
WTH??? The way I read the original post, the guy says that he is bisexual and wants to have sex with other guys as well as me. And that's cheating, plain and simple. How else should I take my boyfriend or husband telling me that he wants to "continue to be with guys (as well as be with me)"? Especially if that man is my husband. How else can he still continue to be with guys?

My issue is only the cheating aspect of the situation, not that bisexuals are more likely to have STD's or cheat.

Again WTH??? This question was directed at the womenfolk. And there is no double standard here. And if I were bisexual, my heterosexual boyfriend would not want me bringing home a woman to do a threesome with. He actually would be rather horrified if I did... just as I would be if he brought home a man to join us in our bedroom.

And if that's being vanilla, then so be it. Call us boring people, but it's not going to make us change our ways in order to be cool and hip to the likes of you.

Isn't this supposed to be the end of a marriage?

I suppose a marriage is ultimately about what two people make of it. What do you make of it? What are your feelings?

If this man has only recently discovered his bisexuality then I would also be concerned about the 'kid in the candy shop' phenomena.

Don't give him permission unless your thoughts and emotions genuinely tell you that this is the kind of compromise you can, and want to, live with.

My response? "Yeah. Whatever sweetheart. Don't let the door hit you on the a$$ on your way out the door."

OP is this question about you? I kinda got that feeling from reading some of your posts in the past. Don't expect your wife/GF to think it's all good.
