[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP the fact that you describe this situation by quotes surrounding the word lifestyle is very telling to me.

Here is what I think is maybe going on. Your daughter is very likely happy in her lesbian relationship and while she may be a bisexual, she may just be telling you what you want to hear when she says she has crushes on guys and sees herself ending up with a guy, etc.

You might be coming across to her as more than a little homophobic, and she is struggling with trying to keep your love and approval and also trying to be herself.

Have you ever told her that it's entirely okay if she decides she's happy to be in an intimate relationship with another woman?

If you haven't, you should try it out. And mean it when you say it.[/quote]

OP here--yes I have made it very clear that she can be honest with me and she claims she would never tell me something just to make me happy. I think I believe she truly feels that she sees herself with a guy have a traditional life.  I think my frustration lies with her saying she wants something but not helping herself to get there. If she had a long distance relationship with a guy I would be frustrated as well though probably not to same extent.
