I am a bisexual woman who is married to a man. I suppose the argument could be made that it is the "easiest" of the alternative sexualites to be. It could also be the hardest. Biphobia is rampant, not just in the straight world, but the gay community as well. To straights, I am not "straight enough." To gays I am not "gay enough." I am accused by both groups of being afraid to admit that I am really a lesbian.
I love my husband immensely, and know that he is the one I am going to spend a lifetime with. He has been very understanding of my sexual orientation. I once had a straight friend ask me "So, you're bisexual, but you're married to a man...how does that work?" It took me a second to understand what he meant. I laughed out loud and said "Hey, I'm married, not dead! It's the same as any other marriage, I can look, but don't touch!" My friend apparently thought that being bisexual meant that I would want to be with a  woman in addition to my husband. It doesn't. I fell in love with my husband, not because of his chromosomes but because of his personality, his soul, his spirit, not his genitalia. That is not to say that I do not occasionally find myself attracted to other women; it happens, but out of respect for my marriage and deep love for my husband I do not act on those attractions (though I DO have a rich fantasy life, LOL!) If, heaven forbid, anything were to ever happen to him in the future and I were fortunate enough (after a respectable grieving time) to find love again it could just as easily be with a woman as a man.
I am comfortable with who I am; my feelings for my husband are the real deal and those are the most important things. I am hoping that I can find other people LIKE ME here, and maybe we can share ideas and experiences to help educate the straight and gay communities and do away with biphobia.

So it may be just a smidgen after this morning, but still...

I feel that biphobia is still a problem in both the LGBT and straight communities, and nothing seems to get done about it (or is that just me?). The focus seems to always be on homophobia, but biphobia seems to get brushed under the carpet.

There seems to be quite a bit of ignorance about bisexuality, that we can't be monogamous, that we are hiding as straight if we're in a hetero relationship, or pretending to be gay if we are in a homo relationship. That we are too scared to identify as one or the other. I think it is becoming more acceptable, and people are starting to see past these prejudices, but there's still a long way to go.

Did any of that make sense at all? Sometimes I feel like I'm rambling on and on and not making any sense whatsoever.

I'm glad that you've come out and are a lot happier for it. And also that you came out with ease. The desiring someone of a different sex to your partner, I feel, is the hardest part, and as you can see, I struggle with that too and I accepted being bi at 14 and came out at 17! I'm now almost 25 and still haven't found a way to keep that desire under control.

I've often said that I don't understand people who come out later in life, or to be more specific, who don't realise until they are in their 40s and beyond, probably because I've never been anything but bi and out, but you've made me understand some of the reasons for not being out until then, so thanks.
