    Hi, I have a question for anyone who would like to answer...

    If you came out as bi to your partner, how did that go?

    I am going through a pretty bad experience so just wondered about other peoples experiences with this.

    My husband said he didn't believe me.... and then after a few more times trying to come out he finally did and said, "that's okay... you can be with a woman because that's not real sex." Hmm... better than it could have gone, but not perfect lol..
    I hope things get better with your situation and of they're really homophobic or biphobic... it might be better to move on and find someone who loves your whole you

    Out to everyone
    My (then) wife was surprised. It took a while for her to get her head around it and accept it but now we are cool. We are still good friends (with kids) and we don't really talk much about it.

    If I say I've been on a date though, her first question is always is it a guy or girl. It kind of makes me laugh to be honest.

    Happy days :slight_smile:

    Well I came out to my mom and it's funny she was actually kind of exited and because of it we are really close now however I was scared to no end to tell my dad but I pulled it together and told him and he said he is ok with it but he thinks I'm confused but to be honest I am me and I know what I like so I don't care and I still love my dad so that's all that matters. :slight_smile:

    Also sorry your have a rough time with it I hope it all works out.

    Thanks candyjiru. I think my bf is a bit biphobic and if he cant accept it then I may have to. Its important I can be my whole self in a relationship.

    I am so glad for you, it sounds like your mum took it really well which is fab! I know your dad said you were confused which I have also had from my bf but it sounds like he is okay with it so that's not bad at all.

    Thank you. Its really nice to hear other peoples stories.

    Haha its good that you can laugh now about it, I wish I was at that stage! Maybe ill get there with my bf but its a bit rocky atm for both of us. Maybe he needs time... who knows! thanks for you response!!

    Sounds like you need to divorce him, and get with a lady.
