I have been married once and divorced. I divorced my husband to be with a woman. I think I am attracted to women, but maybe it was just my husband that I wasn't attracted to... I guess what I am saying is I have since been attracted to other men as well as women.
I don't like that I have feelings for both sexes. I feel like it should be one way or the other. Currently, I am engaged to a woman, and she thinks it's exclusive. I want an exclusive relationship with one person, but I have been hoping to get with this guy that I have wanted to date. Yesterday we happened to run into each other at a restraunt and he finally asked me out on a date.
Last night we went to see a movie and just talked. I can honestly say that was all that happened other than a hug at the end of the night. He is a wonderful man and my fiance is a wonderful young woman. I am just not sure what to do. I lied to my fiance about where I was last night. I don't know why I did because I could have just said I was at the movie with a friend, which he really is a friend.
I know it's wrong to be with them both at the same time. Neither relationship involves sex, which is only a small portion of a relationship. My fiance currently lives over 800 miles away and the man is very "old fashioned". He likes to take time to get to know you very well before sexual things go on. I feel like if I continue things will only get messy for one of the people, but I don't know who to choose. :(
I recently came out to my parents and it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. That should have been enough to show I like women exclusively, right? I guess not... If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. They will be taken into serious consideration. Thanks.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
It's hard to be honest sometimes when you don't want to hurt people. My knee jerk reaction has gotten me in some trouble as well. I wonder, if you said you aren't sexual with either one... what's going on?
i agree with zib; coming out to your parents shows your confidence and comfort in your relationship with this female. And also, experimenting is perfectly ok; but NOT at the expense of someone else's feelings because....you probably guessed it; doing what you want at the expense of someone else getting hurt is another reason the CS is here.
My suggestion; be honest to yourself, first. Then, go be honest to your fiance and male friend. They both deserve to know what you are going through and if they really care, they will help you and support you as best they can without encouraging you do go either way (I hope!) but to let you decide for yourself.
I have a friend who was in a similar situation you. She was once married, got divorced, dated men, found she was attracted to women yet still desired a man. The next guy she dated, she decided to give him a special present for his birthday; she brought a female she had been seeing home to him for them to share. He turned it down saying he only wanted his GF for himself, not to share. She stopped dating guys, starting dating a woman and is now happily married to this other woman. The happiness they share; her wife understands and shares the desire to have a man sometimes and they can share that, lovingly, with each other. And no, it isn't/wasn't me.
Like zib said, enjoy your life; experiment; you'll figure out what it is you desire most and will make it the best thing in the world for you and the SO. I wish you the best.
Zibzil- My fiance and I currently live a little over 800 miles apart, and yes we have been together in a sexual way. The guy only lives about 15 miles away from me and we have never kissed, held hands or anything that would suggest we are together in a relationship other than talk to get to know each other better. I just know if things keep going forward with him without my fiance knowing that he and I will probably go too far, eventually.
I understand your being afraid she will want to leave, but you have to not be selfish and respect the fact your fiance does not want an open relationship and you are still unsure you want to settle down with your female fiance or still want the "comforts" only a man can give you.
To me, it sounds like this is the perfect time for some self reflection. Take some time to yourself and get to know who you are again. Learn to love yourself so you can return that love the same way. After some time alone, maybe it will come to you what it is you really want to do.
I don't completely understand men as they do not completely understand women. I have never been completely comfortable with men/males and this has been since I was very small. Like 5 or younger.
I always knew I was different and had a feeling for women/females that I just couldn't explain until I knew what it meant. in high school.
Now, no one can tell me who I am or who I am not. Thanks for helping me realize this.
