[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a teenager, I came out as bisexual to my parents because I felt it was the "safe" option. I knew I was attracted to women but felt this would allow me to one day marry a man and have a "normal" life. Not long after I realized that I was actually a lesbian and just wasn't attracted to men, much less spend my life with one.

My experience is purely anecdotal and restricted to women I've known in my life (whether friends or former partners) but pretty much all women I've known who identify as bi end up with a man - either in a married or long term relationship. It's easier in many ways; you don't face the same sort of discrimination and lord knows having kids is easier (try being a lesbian and grappling with infertility - it's awful). So maybe there is hesitation from prospective love interests because they feel you might eventually bail and take that easier route? Again, this is just based on my own experiences. But I do think everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum, and for women like you who identify as bi and are judged for it -- I know it's hard.[/quote]

This is exactly it. [/quote]
