Well, if you define bisexuality as "wanting to bone any and all people of any and all genders," then, yeah, I guess so. But I don't think anyone can reasonably defend the notion that a new understanding of one's sexuality is the same as having sexual desires for a specific acquaintance.

Then wtf is OP's problem? What does she have to do with the info? Unless she thinks about acting on it, IT DOESN'T EFFECT HER LIFE IN ANY WAY.

Yesterday I didn't like girls.
Today I like girls.

Between those two days, nothing will change in her life unless she decides to explore this side of her sexuality.

realizing you're attracted to a gender is weird and new and exciting and sometimes discombobulating and sometimes involved internalized homophobia or EXTERNAL homophobia and OP is allowed to feel however she damn well pleases about it

All of this. Plus it leads to a feeling of "I wish I'd dated more." Which in a 20 year old marriage can be kind of a normal feeling anyway. This just adds a whole other layer to the road not taken ennui.

How can you be a participant in the world we live in and think that sexuality, like Schroedinger's proverbial cat, has no meaning/effect upon one's life until you "use" it?

I was trying to think of a good way to respond to that comment and you nailed it.

(Anonymous) 2015-06-11 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
I think it was the way OP phrased it - "I think I'm bisexual but I've been married for a while what do I do" that made it seem like the OP herself was thinking about acting on it. As if suddenly realising she's bisexual meant she now has some sort of obligation to go fuck a woman now. It's prbably not what she meant, but the whole "I'm married" part was what made it sound like it.

Well, I don't know, I can see it being really confusing if you've been married to someone who's one gender for a long time and suddenly you realize you're attracted to the other gender, too. It didn't come across to me like she was thinking of acting on it but like she was like, "oh crap, does this mean anything or not?"

Sounded to me like she wondered whether she should consider it relevant. Like, "does it even matter, since I already have a partner?".

Nothing changes, except for being hated by almost half of our culture for who we fancy.

The reality that prejudice harms and kills people, even within the closet, has been understood at least since the Harlem Renaissance. That's just short of a century now.
