Confusion over run me recently.
I'm a bisexual, and I have been both aware and open about it for quite a while now.In the case someone wants to point out it's early to "deside this" at my age, I have been a bisexual for three years now.All though short term, I've had relationships with both girls and guys. [
Not at the same time of course.]
Anyway.. I've been in a long distance relationship for a while now, and it turned out that my boyfriend (only a few years older then me), found out I'm bisexual.
We kind of just stumbled up on the topic, I'm not even sure how, and I ended up telling it to him.
[The odd part is that I thought he already knew, we've been togather for a year and three months now.Which I believe is by far the longest relationship I've had, even if I didn't have alot of them.]
In any case, it wasn't until this point that I realised how seriously he took his religion.We had a conversation that lasted at least two hours, about how it's a sin, and how I'm going to hell if I don't ''turn back'' (to straight, I'm guessing?) - All though it remained on that, he wasn't threathning to leave me or anything, I'm afraid it might even come to it.
Now alright, I don't mind his religion, he can have it, and in fact I encouradge him to follow it, since it's important to him.I personaly have no specific religion, my own religion is ''made up'' I guess.. I believe in ''something'', but not ''God'', or ''Alah'' or what not, and definetly nothing like the bible.
[I'm not saying it's wrong to have religions of any kind, don't mistake me.But I found that the ones I did a little ''research'' about tend to contradict themselves.I was baptized as a baby (Didn't have much of a choice?) but.. To prevent myself from getting any confusion, my own ''god'' is simply a very supporting being that accepts everyone/everything, and isn't all powerful.Just a ''person'' to seek guidance from, I suppose.]
Anyway, I'm going off topic here so.. To be brief, my boyfriend isn't too acceptive over the topic.He says he doesn't care, but it's quite obvious by his behaveyor that he doesn't oppruve.
I know I said I haven't realised religion ment to him as much, but was it wrong of me to tell him, with out taking the idea into consideration anyways? I'm a little confused here honestly, I never had such a case.I really don't know how to handle with religion because what ever I say, seems to end up offencive to him, and as ''trashing'' of his religion.
I'm even considering telling him I have ''turned'' straight, just to end the little conflict.I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but, I'm not talking to a family member.I'm dating him, so it's not as if I'm going to date a girl (or a guy) aside, so he couldn't really find out the truth anyway.
