    Not half as worried as I would if my partner admitted they thought that I was gay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley

    Win win win

    I would have to worry about them telling me they were straight!:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    I have had this conversation with my partner before when I told him that I was bisexual it went quite well he was the only person I've ever been nervous of telling. I felt so relieved afterwards and much better.

    If it was the other way around I would like to have a good talk and try sort it out. I wouldn't be mad or angry at him because it's not like he did it intentionally. I would be more upset at the fact our relationship might have to end if he was gay, I would find it easier if he was bisexual and I could relate to him more. I would be broken hearted to loose him but would want him to be happy.

    As long as they were being genuine then I'd be fine with it. There's nothing they can do to change the fact is there? :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I'd be more worried if they said they were straight, tbh.

    Telling your partner your Bi will usually scare the **** out of them and more often than not end the relationship!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,397 ✭✭✭✭FreudianSlippers


    If my girlfriend slept with another woman I'd still be pissed off... still cheating IMO.

    hmmmm... good to keep in mind if I want to get out of this one ever.
    :P


    j/k obviously - just in case my SO is reading this :D

    Meh. Why it would make a difference.

    If they want to pursue a sexual relationship ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭Truley


    I don't have a problem with homosexuality in general but if my partner told me they were gay I would be pretty peeved because ... well, they are sexually attracted to a different gender to my own one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Well, I'd imagine they'd have to be at least bisexual to be in a relationship with me, so it probably wouldn't be an issue :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭Minstrel27


    The relationship would be over.

    Same here.

    No change in mood whatsoever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,380 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    if a girl i was with told me she was bisexual it would not bother me in the slighest.
    if the fear is that it increases the chances the person will cheat on you, you'd have to question how well your really knew your partner and how secure you really are. As if you have had a good relationship up to the point of this admission, what is suddenly going to change?? nothing!!

    With somebody else like? Well wouldn't that be cheating? :confused: I don't understand your question.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 65 ✭✭MarkGrisham


    If she's up for bringing more women to the bed, I can live with it. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,255 ✭✭✭✭The_Minister


    Gay - that means the whole relationship was a sham tbh. I'd be very pissed off.

    Bisexual - It would depend. If one gender couldn't satisfy her, then I would be pissed.
    If she was attracted to women as well as me but able to be happy with a man then that would be grand.
    It's still cheating unless she scores them in a pub for my amusement.:D

    Transexual - I would be really, really, really pissed off.


    The above post is predicated on the notion that this is a serious relationship.

    For both or just gay?

    I don't know what part I'd feel then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,401 ✭✭✭Royal Irish


    If a girl friend ever told me she thought she was gay, the first words out of my mouth would be, "can I watch".

    If a boyfriend told me her was gay I'd be very disappointed and upset that he'd strung me along and I'd wonder why he ever went out with me in the first place.

    Thought you were a man?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Yeah but I'm a straight man. I'd be disgusted if my boyfriend said he was gay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,153 ✭✭✭Rented Mule


    I have dated several bisexual women over the years. It's no big deal.

    I'd believe him / her.

    And what would the male / female breakdown be?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 455 ✭✭cc-offe


    As a woman, If my man told me he was bisexual it would be over, I wouldn't be attracted to them anymore, no problem in general with gay or bisexual people but I mean obviously if they were gay they wouldn't want me either but if they were bisexual then I would not want to be in a relationship with them, it would be a massive turn off for me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,987 ✭✭✭ottostreet


    If my girlfriend said she was gay: I'd be very disappointed with my physical appearance.


    If she said she was bi: I'd say I knew already. She's worse for perving on girls than I am.

    errr, 50/50.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,810 ✭✭✭Mackman


    If she said she was gay - Id be devastated, as it would be the end of the relationship. My only hope would be that she would agree to a threesome becasue she feels so guilty.

    If she said she was bisexual - Same as The Minister said, if she's happy to stay with me but fancies chicks. happy days!
    But if she wants to have a relationship with another woman, see above


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 142 ✭✭Americangirl1


    I would be completely disgusted and go pour alcohol all over my body. lol, jk. But even if he said he was bisexual, I don't find that attractive what so ever. ewww

    My girlfriend has hinted at it recently. About being Bi. I'm not so sure I'm ok with it and I'm probably the only man on here that would say it. For the simple fact I would think being with a woman is a whole lot better than being with a man. If she's Bi she most likely won't want to go without being with a girl for the rest of her life, yet she's said before she wouldn't have a threesome so where does that leave me?

    I was absolutely certain that you were female.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    I think 7 years old is too young to be labelling oneself as gay/bisexual.







    :p

    I'd be too busy filming to be pissed off:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    I wouldn't be bothered if they admitted to being bi but I be concerned if they said that they were gay but then again I'd rather know than they be strining me along knowing that they would rather the company of men than me. I'd kinda guess myself anyway.
