That'll never work. You're born this way--like your eye color. Deal with it, accept it. It doesnt mean you need to act on your desires, but trying to "pray" them away is basically retarded. That's like me trying to pray away my multiple sclerosis or brown hair or the fact that I'm tall.

Honey, your husband needs to change into someone more tolerant--you're fine the way you are.

Thanx humun :) :( now my husband is beating scriptures into my head and I told him I don't wanna hear it and he say s y? Because im right? That you chose this lifestyle? :( I feel I have no other choice but to look into an ex gay workshop and maybe it ll save my marriage? :-( I just don't get where I went wrong if he knew about my bisexuality way b4 the marriage then y am I hated so much by him? I don't act on those desires, I fear that I'm going to be slammed with an ugly divorce, least I'll keep my son :)

This reparative therapy nonsense has been demonstrated to be psychologically harmful.

Some churches wilfully misinterpret the Bible to promote an agenda of hatred. You are born the way that you are.

But for a more reasoned argument if you see my earlier response to your post about marriage counselling at your Church you will hopefully find resources that are helpful in understanding that Christianity should not be interpreted in a way that condemns us.

Furthermore I agree with Humunculus who has a way with words.

your husband should do some theological research rather than parroting scriptures that he fails to understand and is incapable of putting into the larger context - what he is doing is abuse of the worst kind. We do not choose to be Bi.

Good luck - do look up my earlier posts they may be of help. Also here

Read the website for Exodus international scary stuff regarding homosexuals they didn't address bisexuals. Would not go I am not sure you would be safe.

I personally think marriage therapy would be more beneficial. The fact that he has issues with your sexuality is his issue. A therapist might be able to better let him see that. Individual therapy might also be beneficial. Him trying to change you will only allow you to resent him for not accepting you.

Good luck...let us know how it goes.

Check out this site, my dad showed it to me after I came out to him - http://www.newdirection.ca/ Looking at Exodus' "about" page and New Direction's, I'd personally feel safer checking out ND - though it's good to remember that the ex-gay community is legit (like EI says).
If you want to go to Exodus or take any other steps you can, but you have to do it for yourself. Not for him, or else it'd be him trying to remake you in his own image. Sexuality is really personal. It's something you should be open to talking about with him, but if he can't deal with that then that isn't a good sign. Marriage counselling maybe?
Fear and hate are never appropriate responses for your husband to have!! Acceptance and love are. If God wants to change you, he will (not the same as 'praying it away' fyi), but that's His decision and not yours or mine.

You always, always have the right to be accepted for who you are. Regardless of sexuality. We are all people here and you are one of them.

that would basically be pushing aside your feelings and emotions ...but guess what you would still be bi...only now suppressing your emotions on top of that. i agree with the above comments its not going to just go away....better to find a way to deal with what you have on your plate right now then push it aside...

We easily tout labels. Straight male, straight female, gay male, gay female, bi male, bi female. To me, it can't all simply fit into 6 buckets. My question is who do you believe you are? To just say "I'm bi" seems to equate to 50% of me likes men, 50% of me likes women. If reality is 10/90 or 90/10 then it paints a different picture.

I think if you have desires and they have subconscious or conscious reasons for feeling that way, then prayer, therapy or other approaches can help you find clarity.

Have you thought to ask him to read all of the bible instead of just those bits and pieces?
The problem most people seem make (at least from what I've seen) is that the only take the part they want instead of taking the whole deal.
"Take all or nothing" is normally my philosophy.

Tell your husband to read the whole bible before "bible thumping". And marriage conseling does seem to be the best bet, that place doesn't seem to be all that great to go to.

In the end... you can deny a part of yourself, but it'll always be there. I don't think these places really turn someone "straight", all I've seen is that it makes people lead to despise what they are...

But you must do what you feel is right. In the end, the only opinion that matters is your own. Just gather the facts first, and make it YOUR decision. Don't give in just because your husband wishes you to.

or anyone else...
