I've been slowly learning to accept that I'm a bisexual male.

I'm just looking for some advice for how to accept this completely while being in a long term hetero sexual relationship with my girlfriend for the last 5 years.

I did some experimenting before I met her, about 10 years ago, and I recently started to question my sexuality for the first time.

I have told her everything about my experiences and about my feelings of inadequacy and such, and I must say that while I feel more and more comfortable with myself everyday, I still do feel uncomfortable with myself.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

I guess it just takes time for someone to get used to being gay and accepting it within. I would say just stay with who supports you and good luck.

This is something that will take time. And no one is a 100% comfortable with themselves regardless and if they are they need to tell me how to be. As long as the person your with is accepting who you are then try not to be ashamed or un comfortable. There are many Bisexual people out there who are honest about themselves yet they are still afraid to approach someone they are attracted to. It's just going to take time. It'll all get easier to deal with as you go just be happy you know who and what you are.

It will take you some time to get comfortable with this, but if she is comfortable with it then that should make it easier for you to accept it.

Just be who you are and do not worry about those haters who will hate about your sexuality
Plain and simple

Ok, I dealt with this too, it's hard, and people reject you, and it's not nice, but you're unique and awesome, and the fact that you can accept this fact yourself is awesome, and if you are comfortable with your sexuality and confident and show it, the ones that can accept it will, and those who can't can just go hump a tree
