Should I tell my boyfriend I'm bisexual ?

I'm a girl and I'm bisexual and I had been dating this guy for 3months now but I'm scared to tell my boyfriend I'm bisexual because he will lose respect for me and think I'm a slut or ask for a 3some I just want to have sex with my boyfriend and don't want a 3some so should I keep this to myself and let him think I'm straight ? or should I tell him an risk him losing respect for me .

  • Depends on where you see the relationship going doesn't it? Have you been dating this guy for a few months? A year? Years? That's what should be the determining factor in this question. Because if you think you could see yourself marrying this man and settling down with him then yes he has the right to know. Because you would be sharing your life with him and vice versa so things like that need to come out.

    However if he is somebody you've been dating for only a few months then I would say no, because you don't know where this relationship is going, you don't know how serious it will become so why put yourself out there like that if your that afraid. Obviously its a big deal to you and is one of those things that could either break the relationship or do nothing.

    You should also find some way to find out his thoughts on the subject matter, during a movie or something, perhaps a scene where girls are kissing, and you ask him what he thinks about it, or perhaps your discussing your ideas about gay marriage. Whatever you need to do try and find out what he thinks about bi-sexuals.

    But like I said, I think telling him really depends on how far you see the relationship going and if you think it would or currently is serious.

  • Your sexuality is an important part of you. Hiding part of your sexuality can't work out well in the long run. Many guys, me included would be glad to have a bisexual girlfriend. From my point of view a girl being bisexual is very sexy. If this boyfriend doesn't like your being bi then this relationship isn't likely to last.

    Try talking about sexuality in broader terms. In a series of conversations over time ask him what he things about different things. Maybe sexual acts you haven't done yet. You can compare your feelings on these. Ask him how he feels about guys who are gay. These conversations will likely lead you in some good directions, understanding each other better, and probably some hot sex. Somewhere in the middle of these conversations ask him what he thinks about bisexual girls. His reaction will tell you a lot more about how he feels about this.

    If he is generally positive about bi girls, then at a later time you can hint a little and see how he takes it.

    Eventually your bisexuality does have to come out, as hiding it will make problems. If you lose him over this it will be sad. If that happens, then with your next potential boyfriend, bring up your sexual orientation much earlier.

  • Well if your boyfriend has those assumptions in the first place, he may need to learn a lot more about the subject and get his standards straight. Obviously not all bisexual males and females sleep around. It's absolutely ridiculous to think that and he should be informed so. Moreover, if he thinks your the kind of girl who would have a three some, maybe he doesn't know enough about you. Or he doesn't respect you enough and you should fix that. Moreover, if he loses respect for you simply because of your sexual orientation, there is a problem. Of course you should be very open with each other if you actually want this relationship to go somewhere, so therefore you should tell him. How he reacts will show you what kind of person he is and where your relationship is headed. Hope this helps love. :)

  • What makes you think he would lose respect for you or automatically ask you to have a threesome? If he has implied directly that this is how he would respond to learning that you were bisexual than he doesn't sound like such a stellar guy anyhow. Any guy who would lose respect for you because he found out about part of who you are is not the right guy for you.

    • Well in the past most guys did I would tell them I'm bisexual then next thing I hear is would you like if you and I had a 3some or they would automatically think I'm a slut . it's happened so many times I just thought it's best not to tell men I date anymore.

    • Well, I feel that you have the right to keep it a secret if you want to. After all, it is not going to affect your behavior or the way you will treat your boyfriend. You should do what you feel is best here. However, I think you will probably be happiest in the long run with a guy who you know will accept you for who you are. The way I see it, if he won't, you might as well find out sooner rather than later. Good luck!

  • I think honesty is the best policy. If he loses respect for you over something like that, you really are better off without him. And he may just say "okay" and move on, haha!

    Be honest, and if he questions your level of sexual activity or asks about threesomes, just be honest about that as well.

    Good luck! :-)

  • I would wait until he is talking about some other girl and say "yeah, I get it; I can find women attractive too." If he brings up a threesome, say, "Look, I find women to be sexy, but I'm also a monogamous person and don't see that changing."

    Hopefully he's mature enough not to get TOO stupid over this, but don't be surprised if he's a LITTLE immature about it, at least at first.

    • I agree. Great approach

  • Your boyfriend sounds like an ass if he thinks like that. But ya, you should be open in relationships. It could cause problems later if you don't.

  • If he doesn't like who you are, replace him... immediately. Life is way too short to hide your sexuality from other people. I personally adore bisexual girls and have had a great deal of fun with them.

  • tell him and if he does loose respect for u, he wasn't the guy 4 you in the 1st place. she should love you no matter what you r, never hide who you are from the person you love

  • Just tell him but let him know you are not cool with 3somes and will not share. Some men think "awesome she is bi so she will let another woman have sex with us"
