It’s been a wild ride, figuring all this stuff out. So, my girlfriend, she comes out and tells me she’s bisexual. My first thought was, “Okay, cool.” But then, you know how your brain starts churning, right? I started wondering what that really meant for us.
First Realization
Initially, I read somewhere that some people think bisexuality is just a “phase,” and I got a bit freaked out, not gonna lie. I thought, “Is she going to leave me for a woman?” I know, I know, it sounds silly now, but those were my first thoughts.
Confusion Sets In
Then there was this whole thing about whether she was just “experimenting.” I even read that maybe I was the one experimenting. Man, that messed with my head. It felt like I was questioning everything I thought I knew about her and about us.
Digging Deeper
I started reading up on bisexuality, trying to understand it better. I came across some studies and articles that were trying to bust myths about bisexual people. Some people think they can’t be faithful, or that bisexuality isn’t even real. It’s crazy how much misinformation is out there.
The Real Talk
- I realized I needed to talk to her, like, really talk.
- She explained that being bi is just part of who she is, it doesn’t change how she feels about me.
- She said she’s not a lesbian, she’s bisexual, and she’s “down for her man.” That was a relief, I gotta say.
Understanding Her
She tried to explain how it feels to be bisexual, but honestly, it was hard for me to get it at first. I mean, I understand the concept, but the feeling? That was tough. It’s like trying to explain color to someone who’s never seen it.
Acceptance and Moving Forward
Eventually, I realized that sexuality can be fluid for some people. It’s not always black and white. Who she’s attracted to might change over time, and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean our relationship is doomed or anything.
It took some time, but I’ve come to a place of acceptance. I love my girlfriend for who she is, and her being bisexual is just one part of that. It’s not the whole story, but it’s an important part. We’re still going strong, and honestly, I think going through this whole process has made our relationship even stronger. We’ve learned to communicate better, to trust each other more, and to be more open about who we are.
