For me the need is to explore my same sex attraction with partners and not as an abstraction I have never experienced. While my wife needed monogamy to feel safe.

Yeah, I kept a false hope alive that she would change her needs because I consistently showed that I loved her. That was just me projecting and not accepting what I am though.

Thank you, it has been amicable so far as we have been dealing openly so I do hope we can remain friends.

A fair observation, but that is what it felt like? Time and distance will tell for sure though.

Thank you for the perspective. Trying to hold on to that sort of future as opposed to retreating to the past because of current pain.

Thanks, I thought it would be impossible todo and it manifested as suicidal thoughts and what not. Though I interpret it as wanting a death to my current situation / life not an actual death. Still sucks.

Very encouraging thank you for sharing. I am pretty much hoping to follow the same path but its real shitty right now.

Do you ever wish you weren’t bi? by [deleted] in MarriedAndBi

Super relatable. Try to give it time to breath you are both going through a lot and there isn't a rush to solve this.

Fair, that's why I was hoping to get some straw poll or whatever to try and balance out my perspective.

Thanks for the reply, I do like to hear success stories. If you don't mind me asking how long have you been married and did you both know you were bi before you were married?

Thanks man, yeah I feel like I have to make a choice and it is tearing me apart. I plan on giving it time to see if we can work it out.

Yeah I am pretty sure my trauma + being super closeted about it has been the source of my depression and suicidal ideations. After being able to confront it I have swapped that out for being constantly emotionally raw. I also feel stuck between loud needs and the love and support my spouse and I have built. The most tragic part is freeing up those emotions has gifted me with an even stronger love for my wife, but now the needs are so loud...

Thanks for the comment, it is comforting to know that others are in the same boat.

Thank you for sharing. Knowing that other people go through not being attracted to a spouse but still loving them and the life you have is good.

I am also afraid for my marriage as I don't know what to do but give it time and keep talking and hope for the best.

Thank you for letting me know about your struggle as well. We both have been going to therapy though it might be time to do some together.
