    Hi there
    I've just joined this site so sorry if im missing some forum etiquette.

    Ill start from the beginning. Im a 23 year old female from the UK . Ive always known Ive been attracted to girls from a young age despite never having done more than kissed them.I have only had two relationships both with men (one which i am still currently in and have been since the age of 16) Both knew i liked women and knew i find them more attractive to a much greater extend than i do men.Apart from them knowing about my sexuality none of my friends or family do.My family until recently were heavily catholic so i thought it best not to tell them.

    Anyway fast forward to now, Ive been in a relationship for a long while and i can say that my partner truly is my best friend and i love him so much but i do not feel physically attracted to him at all. When i think about it , I don't know if I ever really did or if I started this relationship because at the time i was at a bad point in my life, when i felt like i didn't have control of my decisions ? I literally fell out of one relationship and into the next within a few days. Or is it because of a societal norm that i should be with a man?
    I find myself increasingly interested in exclusively women and the more i think about it, sorry if this is TMI even if im watching porn with a man in it , i am ignoring him entirely and focusing on the woman.

    any advice would be much appreciated :bang::bang:

    you could maybe be biromantic and homosexual? romantic attraction does not always have to line up with sexual attraction. talk about it with your partner, sit him down and have an adult conversation. are you romantically attracted to him? as in, do you want to be in a relationship with him and love him more than platonically? and if you want to be with a woman (either being with a girl in a romantic or sexual relationship) alongside your partner, talk about that to. discuss your terms, maybe you can start polyamory.

    thankyou for replying . I have once briefly discussed the idea of a seperate relationship however he only favoured the idea because he said he didnt see a lesbian relationship as the same as a male/ female one and he thought it could end up with threesomes -_-. As much as i care about him i dont think he considers a gay relationship as serious , which kind of upsets me as he knows I like women. I dont think he realises the real connotations of it.

    I am currently in the same spot. I think I am Biromantic Homosexual and I have a lovely boyfriend. I'm currently trying to see if love is enough even without the sexual/attraction aspect. I'll let you know how it works out for me. Good luck to you. Just be true to your heart.
