Can a man's cheating turn a woman gay?

I agree.

It didn’t make me gay, but it made me think a lot more about cheating (myself). I was cheated on in the worst context: SAHM and pregnant with our second when I found out. Worse, he barely did anything to try to make amends, and went after me in family court, and even ended up getting custody of the kids. When I say traumatizing…yeah.

Anyway, I was never a cheater and still am not, but I fantasize about cheating and role play cheating with my new husband. It definitely screwed me up mentally and emotionally. I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover.

I am bisexual to begin with, and after exiting a multi-decade marriage to a man who cheated on me, I actually don't feel any desire to date anyone. I feel anti-romance in general. My ex cheated with a woman -- both men and women can be liars and cheaters.

I do feel more critical of men though, especially the marriages I have more insight into, like my family and close friends. The men do not seem to be carrying their own water and seem generally unimpressive. That is probably a trauma reaction and I am trying to get past it in therapy.

I’m picky in all relationships so I am going in knowing I’m looking for a needle in a haystack. It has been very worth it, and it’s how I found DH. Some men are awful as are some women. It’s not gender specific.


The question is whether a man's cheating affected who they dated after breaking up with the cheater.



Sorry, yes, my more direct tl;dr is no, it would never make me gay, only pickier.

It’s not a question of gender.

Op here. I admire some women for their beauty as well as some men but I don't want anything sexual with the women. I don't think most women are naturally bi.

Agreed. Sounds like a man posted that.

I would wager that the people who start dating women are just already bi. Not that most women are, but those ones were. Good for them for finding what works.

Nothing good about being “bi”. Its a spiritual disease

I'm not sure if I'm going to date again after my divorce is finalized. But I think I have more interest in sex (generally) than in romance/building a life again with a man. And I find a lot of different things sexy. So, guess I'm saying, I wouldn't rule it out.

That's a bunch of BS. No women are not naturally bi lol. Maybe in the western world they are.

Women are some of the most homophobic people I have ever met. They will be friends with gay people, they will say all the right things etc...But when they are comfortable around straight men their true feelings about gay people come out.

You have proof of this, right?



🙄 It’s every man’s fantasy- an enthusiastic ménage a trois, which somehow manages to be completely heterosexual and centers him.


So a lesbian who hooks up with your DW will enthusiastically jump in to a ménage a trios with DH. Yes that makes a lot is sense.

Being this judgmental is a spiritual disease. Seek help.

So can men really make a woman want to date other women?


OMG shut up.

No the answer is no.

Doubt.

They say being homosexual is either a congenital thing from conception/birth or is a result of infection or learned behavior and like.

So I suppose it is "possible" that trauma could cause someone to question and change their sexual preferences?

Would be an interesting topic for a study or thesis.

I think there's a difference between not wanting to date men and wanting to date a woman. I have had two bad relationships -- an abusive one and one with a serial cheater. Since the second relationship, I have had zero interest in dating. TBH, the vast majority of men I meet suck up more energy than they give back.

I, however, do not have any interest in dating women. Not the slightest sexual spark there. I have a lesbian daughter and best friend, so it's not an issue of homophobia. Just no spark.
