Re: Rambling bisexual's lament

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear about that. You're definitely not nuts. That would really frustrate and upset me, too.

I hate the assumption that bisexuals can't be monogamous, or that our orientation somehow depends on who we happen to be in a relationship with. Bisexuality doesn't mean indecision.

Mostly, attitudes like that just frustrate me. But I know I internalized them for a long time, too, even though I knew, in a rational sense, that they're bullshit. After coming out as bisexual, I spent a long time downplaying my attraction to men.

I think I would have likely said something, but to be honest, I'm not sure. Situations like that can be really uncomfortable, and I think it can be hard to speak up sometimes when people are saying stuff about a group that you belong to. It can be a really vulnerable feeling. So I don't blame you for being blindsided and not knowing how to react.

Again, sorry to hear you encountered that.
