    I am 35, bi and in a hetero marriage. . . Will I ever me truly content with my life? I have everything to be thankful for, but at the end of the day, I am lonely and feel incomplete. . . blegh, just one of those days where I question everything I am

    Those kind of days are hard.

    I haven't got an answer for you, but there's no rush to make any changes.

    Have you discussed your feelings with your husband?

    *hugs* Days like that are incredibly challenging, I know. You are not alone.

    I'm sorry you feel that way. Sometimes the best way to get through is to make a list of what your best life would look like and think of what your next step would be to get there.

    I'm so sorry you are feeling that way...as a bi man in a hetero marriage, I also feel incomplete at times, even though that makes feel guilty because I have a good life. Just know that it's a normal feeling and a lot of us are going through it.

    I have days where I feel alone, too. I'm an introvert, if that matters, and I'm bisexual too. I don't know anyone in real life who is out and bisexual. So sometimes I feel like the only one, even though I know there are millions out there like me. I don't know if that helps at all, but I can identify with at least part of what your feeling?

    I try to do things like volunteering at the LGBT Center and wearing bi pride items to keep my bi spirits high. My marriage is pretty good, so I'm generally happy.

    I'm wishing you super bi pride power and happier times!
