    Right here goes nothing,

    I'm in a relationship with my fiancé for 5 years we have a child together who is 4. She is my world. My partner is a lovely guy we have had are ups n downs but who doesn't. We have always over come them. I've always had boyfriends & never once questioned my sexuality well until now.... I've been asked out by woman but I've said no as I'm straight plus in a relationship. Last few months I've been wondering if I am even straight or bi or just bi-curious. I sometimes see woman & think their pretty hot & if I watch porn it's girl on girl. Was round a friends a few weeks ago & we were all chatting & I did admit that if I was single & the right female came along I would give it ago. One of them wasn't surprised as I have come across gay when she first met me.
    Not sure if I'm confused as not getting any attention at the moment or that I caught my partner messaging someone else few months back. But it's getting me down & I don't know what to do......

    First of all, welcome. It's great that you found us and felt able to post about your situation.

    I think it's worth saying that lots of people are somewhere in between straight and gay. That doesn't necessarily mean they are bisexual as they may be very strongly (predominantly) attracted to one sex only, but they may have these fleeting moments of recognition or attraction to someone of the same sex, or opposite sex, depending on how they identify. In most cases it's nothing to worry about at all. Just to offer an example, I am gay, but it doesn't mean I am totally blind to attractive women. I can see what many straight men see, but I never want to act on it. In your case it does seem to be a little different though.

    I don't think you should confuse yourself by paying too much attention to porn watching habits. Porn isn't usually considered a good barometer of our sexuality. What is more telling though, is your comment about finding some women "hot" and admitting that you would "give it a go". May I ask if you have sexual fantasies about women, when you are not watching porn? If so, have these fantasies largely, or completely replaced any you may have had about men?

    It's certainly possible that you are bi-curious, but to what extent isn't clear. If you are able to answer the questions I asked it might offer a better picture. The problems with your partner may have some bearing on how you are feeling right now, but they will not be causative.
