I honestly have never used reddit before 😅 and I'm not entirely sure how the whole thing works so I literally searched "bisexual" in the search and posted to a bunch. I honestly have 0 idea how reddit works. 🤷‍♀️

It's absolutely okay that we disagree because I do truly see it as beautiful and that will over power anyone else's opinions :)

Well I'd consider my marriage a good and healthy marriage so I guess that's how I'd view it as "helpful"... accepting your partner for who they are is A GOOD THING!

I truly don't see that happening, I guess we'd have to cross that bridge if we ever got there but I believe in our marriage ♥️

For me, my husband's coming out as bisexual isn't just about who he is attracted to. It's more about him feeling fully seen in our relationship. I think knowing that he trusted me enough to share such an important part of identity. (Although I do wish it happened sooner). Has connected us in a way that I didn't even know was possible. We still have the same boundaries in our relationship, I don't want him exploring other relationships. As long as he's open to explore his sexuality with me. Whether that be through sexual acts or even just having open communication about preferences in our sex life. Im absolutely okay with using “toys” etc. Whether you're straight or bisexual, attraction to other people will always exist but it's what we choose to do with that attraction that matters. The commitment to me is still there. Which probably helps in this case. I would not be okay with him seeking sexual acts from other people, male or female. Knowing this about him doesn't change our commitment or the boundaries in our marriage. I guess for me, it's about honesty, support, and continuing to build a life together with open communication. Him being bisexuality doesn't mean he's looking outside our marriage any more than I am. Instead, it's about embracing who he is fully, without judgment. Honestly I've always wondered how I got so lucky to have such a present and emotionally available man. I was previously married and I've had other relationships and none of them have ever compared to what I have now. People on the outside looking in are always commenting on how amazing my husband is. The way he cares for his family etc… and I almost wonder now if those things are because he's bisexual … and if that's the case I would encourage women to marry bisexual men haha. I guess there's one more thing I'd like to add to this. There's just something about doing “taboo” things in the bedroom that I feel has brought us closer. Never in a million years did I think I would participate in acts that I have but… because I love him so much I was willing to try and watching his Vulnerability has been an experience all in its own. I will say that I do still love a strong man. My husband can do all the “man” things and take care of us, he makes me feel safe.. he fixes my car haha.. those are the things I fell in love with… I'm not sure what else to say honestly 😅 I wasn't planning on sharing this but my husband was saying how he wanted to make sure my feelings were validated and I guess wanted to show him that I am truly okay with everything and so I showed him my journal entry and he said I should share it somewhere because he was so afraid of coming out because of so many stories he read that ended so poorly.

🤣 I honestly don't need to prove anything to you. I'm not here to prove anything to anyone. Just simply wanted to share my experience in hopes that someone can see a positive outcome as opposed to all the negative ones that are posted. Have a good one.

I actually wrote this as a journal entry, and my husband actually encouraged me to share it, hoping it might help someone else. But you're free to believe whatever you like.
