I'm having a very tough time fighting who I really am and I don't know how to tell my husband and the rest of my family, that I am bisexual. Can someone's sexuality change over time and my feelings of both physically and emotionally are going moreso to the opposite gender. The downside is that my husband doesn't believe people can be bisexual. He believes that you either like either male or female, you can't like both. I still love him and I don't want to lose him.

Why? I'm bisexual. But it doesn't come up in conversation at home because I picked one for now. Unless I were dating someone extremely secure with their relationship with me. Talking about a need to be more bisexual might be a little off putting because what's the end point? Sexuality is a personal journey. I wouldn't be involving spouses until I was ready to take some sort of action.

wow i know how you feel-when i told my daughter i was HIV pos she asked of i got it from a guy or a girl,,i said it could be both but more likely a guy..she and her husband listened with more open non judgmental attitude.. i was surprised at how they took that news..iv been since able to have a couple more personal discussions..and im glad they love me..no they as christians dont agree with same sex or according to my daughter,im to have no sex-lol, but they are more about me living a good life and finding peace. and yes i do think people change over time..i sure did. sorry i guess i needed to remind myself to look at what i do have,,a family who loves me,,i hope the same for all of us.

I'm curious why you feel the need to tell them if you already have a husband? Do you wish to be more then monogamous? I'm sorry that I'm not really answering your question, but these things would need to be clarified for me to really get why it's important to you.
