There is something that I am struggling with but am afraid to ask for support because of the nature of the decision I must make. It has to do with sexuality and some people are close minded and strict in their beliefs as to what's right and what's wrong. I do not want to anger anyone by posting about what's bothering me.

If I were sure that I would not receive any backlashes I would post it but it can be a very touchy subject for some, even though I'm sure that others have come across this decision that I must make...

PM me if you would like to help me with this.

Lexi... that was very considerate of you. I sent you a PM. If you'd like to talk to me about this, just hit me up.

OK, I'm feeling rather brave right now. The problem is I'm bisexual, and am with a man, but am having the urge to be with a woman. I don't want to hurt him but I don't know how to fight off this urge to feel the touch and witness the love from another woman...

lex, being bisexual isnt a problem, thats probably the first thing. Its just how you are and how you are is just fine. As to wanting/liking someone else...................... well i think its like any relationship. You need to think long and hard before you decide to move on to another person. What would you be giving up? Is it all worth it? Is it the fact that the other person is a woman that attracts you to this, sort of wanting to see what it would be like/ Or is it that you are just attracted to her becasue you like her?

Im not asking that you answer such personal questions, maybe just getting you to think about whats going on for you.

Its a difficult problem.

(((lexi)))) being bisexual has no basis of mental illness within itself, that is, there is no evidence of maladjustment or psychopathology connected with this.. so if you are depressed, it's depression... but it sounds more like a "regular" relationship issue, and might be best served in that forum? Members - imo- tend to be thinking along the lines of the forum they visit... and this may very well fit what others have found for themselves in relationship discussions!
