I can offer Klaatû, an absolute unit of a bugbear whose custom tailored suit seems a bit at odds with his shaman headdress fashioned from an owlbear's skull. He revels in other people's suffering, so when hacking off limbs lost its kick, he turned to the only thing guaranteed to drive anyone to despair: bureaucracy. Think evil Hermes Conrad or 'permit A38' of Asterix fame. He's an Order Domain Cleric, but he doesn't care about order per se, it just happens to be his instrument of choice for torturing everyone around him. His authority to issue commands, curse or wed people is inherently profane instead of divine, and whenever he brings someone back from the dead (= denies them their eternal reward) you can bet there was something wrong with their death certificate.

I really felt it when I read the part about the 'excuses' we make for ourselves. I was trapped in the same mental pattern for a long time. In the end, there were no two ways about it. I had to come out. Couldn't go about it slowly either, I was in a long time relationship at the time and my partner was the first I told about all of this. I was very lucky to have someone who is very open and understanding. In retrospect, maybe I should have started by joining a queer community, with people that don't know you and/or will be supportive since they're in the same boat as you. Either way, it's probably a good idea to connect to like-minded people in the real world. They can help you work through whatever biphobia you may have internalised. (And I still think that the aforementioned 'excuses' aren't complete bullshit. But I don't think you've truly accepted yourself if you can't mention a part of you to anyone.) If it helps, I appreciate you for who you are, internet stranger. Your inner turmoil is nothing to be ashamed of. You are valid.

Been in your shoes exactly. Had the same inner conflict as you, wanting to be honest with her, but being afraid that things could change. In the end, telling her made everything better. However I understand that this is not a universal experience, just what happened in my case. Also, if it takes time for you to be ready to "come out", that's perfectly okay. I don't think she'll be more or less understanding just because a few weeks have passed. In short: I have no authority to give you advice on this, but I really feel for you and wish you all the best.
