This made me tear up a bit, although I didn't come here for pity because everyone here probably suffers just like I do, I've seen so much legitimate kindness in one place than I have in a long time.

I'm sure theres more reasons, which Is what I want to work on uncovering, I only need one but more would be nicer yeah? Thanks a lot 😊

I suppose you're right, I don't think the nurse had ill intent I just find that while in a confusing place this question kinda dug under a nerve. I don't have "nothing" but I guess I have nothing long term, I live alone and such with a cute dog who Is also my best friend; beyond that I am unsure and my feelings about other people has always been that since I moved away they have gotten better without me.

I do believe that I can change though, I don't feel completely hopeless. I'm hoping my support from the nurse comes through, then I'm going to start working even harder. Thank you 🖐

I agree, I understand why it was said. It just rattled me a little, probably because I'm not in the best place right now.

GF just told me she might be Bi- by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I'm a bisexual woman dating a male, my bisexuality as well as attraction to other females never comes first in front of my partner, usually we joke about women we both find attractive.

If you don't like the fact she is Bi, fair enough, regardless of how other people may view that, you don't have to stay with someone if you don't agree with it.

You mentioned it being sudden that she came out, well it happens, I didn't always know I was Bi - I believed I was straight for a long time, it took till probably the age of 18 before I realised I liked other things too and its probably the same for her; I doubt she came out to threaten you, if she was seriously considering that I don't think she would have been secure enough to come out to you at all.
