Myth: A person is either gay or straight, not both. Humans are complex and can have very different sexual orientations, including heterosexual (attracted to the opposite gender), homosexual (attracted to the same gender), bisexual (attracted to two or more genders), asexual (not attracted to any gender), pansexual (not limited in sexual choice), or skoliosexual (attraction to non-binary identified individuals). [1] X Research source Myth: Bisexuals can’t be faithful. People can choose to be monogamous. People’s sexual orientation does not determine their ability or desire to be in a monogamous, faithful relationship. The couple decides what it means to be monogamous. Myth: Bisexuals have more sexually transmitted diseases. The rate of STDs does not correlate to someone’s sexual orientation. Rather, it has to do with the individual’s care in protecting themselves from STDs.

Being patient and understanding with each other is the best starting place for a conversation. Know that you love each other and want each other to be happy.

This might include asking if and when your husband is making connections with other partners. Being bisexual doesn’t mean that your husband will automatically cheat on you. But if he is going to be with other partners, you two should be open about that. Lies and deception are not a good foundation for any marriage.

Many bisexual partners are in long-term monogamous relationships. Determine what you want for your relationship.

Remember that when you “come out” to your children, have an ongoing conversation about it so that your kids can ask questions and understand your feelings. Be patient and give them time to process the information. [3] X Research source

Many partners have experienced a sexual awakening when they find out their husbands are bisexual. Their relationships have grown stronger and more satisfying. [4] X Research source
