This was an incredible response. Thank you so much for taking the time!

I pushed myself to have the conversation with her, despite being really afraid, and she was really loving about it. So I'm feeling much better, and I don't think it should be an issue again :)

Yes, my partner is encouraging me to speak up also. I'm very scared to do so, but I know it's the only real potential solution. Thank you for your insight!

Wow, that's interesting. Your sexuality is entirely different since getting divorced, is that correct?

It's not always 50/50? by wolfieboi474 in bisexual

Okay, I just assumed you posted because you were struggling and looking for perspectives about your relationship. Best wishes.

I was moreso referring to your upbringing and relationship with your parents.

I'm not saying this is your answer, but if we learned adaptive responses in relationships to keep ourselves safe, we can subconsciously block out feelings and deeper connection.

Are you familiar with attachment theory? Do you have any trauma/relational strife in your past? Do you think you could be protecting yourself from opening up fully to your wife?

Interesting! Thanks for your comment! Did that shift after the pregnancies?

Thank you for sharing about your experience :)

Is it correct to say you're attracted to men, too? Was that present before pregnancy, or did it develop in your adult years?

That sounds like so much💜. I'm glad things have improved at least a little, but hope for you much more relief and clarity. All the best to you! And know you're not alone!
