Should I Come Out as Bisexual?


Brown81    

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm writing on here to get some advice. I'm a bisexual single mother and have been seperated for nearly three years. Over the past few years I've been thinking less about relationships with men and leaning more towards women. Most of my friends know I've always dated both sexes but there are a selected few that don't know. It's also the same with me family, my choice in doing this was purely based on fear. Lately I have been thinking alot about if I need to "come out" officially so I don't have to hide what I want to some selected family and friends. I really feel like I want to put myself out there to start dating again, particularly women but I'm not sure if I should wait until I meet someone before I tell everyone who I truly am. Thanks everyone

Hi Brown81,

 

Welcome to our Community and a big congratulations on figuring out your sexuality.

 

Your bisexuality is true and valid no matter who you are dating so I would say if you feel as though you want to tell close family and friends sooner rather than later, then you should go for it. I’ve attached some tips for coming out as bisexual here - https://www.ditchthelabel.org/13-tip...-out-bisexual/.

 

How exciting that you are starting this journey, I hope you enjoy every step along the way.

Hey @Brown81

 

I had another read over your post last night and I feel like what you might have been infering is that you have some family members that may not take well to you coming out and that you'd like some support around that? What gives you this impression, have family members said things in the past? What do you think their reactions would be if you told them you were bisexual and wanted to move forward in dating women?

 

Do you think you would feel better that your chosen close relatives knew before moving forward with a relationship, I agree that it would feel great to be fully open with everyone, but can totally understand your fear in doing so.
