I may be entirely out of line posting here (if so, I apologize. Not sure what protocol is).
Since having my son (because of a casual sexual relationship with a man), I have thought many times of how it would be easier, since I'm obviously attracted to men, to just be in a straight relationship....and never mind the fact that I've only been in love once, with a woman.
I think "oh, it would be nice to be conventional and not complicated and have that easier lifestyle" and then I do something silly (like um...watch The L Word again lol) and think "damn it all to hell, women are sexy."
I feel so much stigma is associated with being bisexual, and to be a bisexual single mom just makes me want to scream in frustration, not really having anywhere I seem to fit in.
What are your views on this all? Would you date a bisexual with a child? Is it something you see as uncommon and something to steer clear of? I feel like I have no chance of being attractive to women now that I'm sort of tainted by the heterosexual lifestyle.
Or am I looking too far into it?
Re: How do you ladies feel about bisexuality?
I'm bi too. Ive had casual relationships with men but long term relationships with women only. However I'm having my children through AI as a single woman right now. The last guy I was having a "casual" thing with offered but I didn't want to be tied down to a "known donor" forever. It's hard to find a place to fit in on these boards since I'm single by choice but dont have all the ex boyfriend/husband drama! This one is the most inline with my general life path.
Its an individual thing, but I personally would have no issue dating a bisexual with a child. Sexuality, imo, is so fluid and falls on such a wide spectrum that its impossible for me to imagine people placed strictly into "gay" "straight" and "bi" categories. In my mind, the majority of people are bi to some degree. The thought of someone being "tainted by the heterosexual lifestyle" would never, ever cross my mind.
And feel free to post here all you want - we have very few protocols
