Hey everyone, So I have known that I am bisexual for quite awhile now. I am currently in a relationship with a man and I have been with him for about 6 months now. I haven't even mentioned much about my sexuality or LGBT issues etc so I am not too sure where he stands on it. I am a bit worried that he won't respond well to it or he will be a little weird knowing it. I really want to be truthful about it and honest with him. Any advice here would really help. I am also wanting to tell my best friend as well, I know that she is definitely an advocate and supporter of the LGBT community so I am fairly sure she will react positively. I am leaning toward telling her before I tell my boyfriend because I wanted to tell her even before I started dating him and she also worries me a lot less. Any advice would be really helpful with this.
I can't really help with telling your boyfriend as I've never had to be in that situation, I can say it would probably be better to tell your friend first so that you can gain some more support before telling your boyfriend.
As for telling your boyfriend, I know here at least attitudes are largely accepting. While I've never been in a similar situation either, I know my (male) bi friend's girlfriend has no problem with it. That said, be prepared for inevitable questions about which gender you prefer, or if you would want a threesome with another woman. If you're too nervous to come out without gauging your boyfriend first, it might be a good idea to bring up some LGBT+ issues, particularly if they relate to bisexuality. Hope it all goes well!
