    Hi, this is my second post here. I found this community because my husband came out to me that he is bi, and while it's not a shock, I've got some conflicting feelings. I'm openly bi to everyone but my family, and as I'm in a monogomous relationship with a man, I can't imagine it will ever come up with them.

    Since my husband came out to me (less than 24 hours ago), I've realized that while I've never had an issue with my sexuality, I've never really explored it either and find myself asking some questions I didn't know I had. I found this website and thought it would be a good place to come for support and answers.

    So that's my story.
    Thanks.
    JB

    Hey JustBecause :slight_smile:
    I understand that your husband coming out as bi would inevitably spark up some questions in your mind. Hopefully you can figure everything out, and this is a good place for the support and answers you're looking for.
    Welcome :grin:

    Hi there, and welcome to EC.

    I was married for 9 years when I finally realized I was gay and came out to my wife in my mid 30s. If only sexuality and orientations were something we talked more about... then so many of us wouldn't get married BEFORE we were totally comfortable with the topic.

    I hope you find this site helpful. I certainly have.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone.

    The more I talk to my husband about this, the more questions I have. It's scary, but it's nice to finally be addressing it all, especially with someone who understands. Like you guys too!:thumbsup:
