I am someone who has only had meaningful and loving relationships with
women. I enjoy sex with men, and I enjoy men in general, but I find
myself skeptical when it comes to having deep feelings for a man. It was
recently brought to my attention that I'm insecure in my queer
identity, and that I am drawn to comfortable "out" lesbians even though I
can't occupy that space myself. In this realization, I came to see that
I can't be comfortable in a straight identity, and I frequently work to
set myself apart because it is not comfortable for me. Is there anyone
out there who can relate? Since having my son, the desire for a "normal
life" has been strong, and I hadn't thought about it much before
becoming a mother. But I struggle with it now. I was just wanting to
hear from other women/mothers. I wish I could feel at home in one sexual
identity. I don't want my child to face adversity because of who I am. I
also don't want to live my life with internalized homophobia. So I'm
asking you to please share your opinions/stories. I don't want to
struggle with my sexuality forever, but I deeply fear that this is the
price of being bisexual. Thank you for anyone who is willing to share
with me. It's personal and difficult, I know. I hope there's someone
out there who feels comfortable sharing with me. I don't have a lot of
people in my life who understand.
