I'm dating a woman after splitting with my husband of 15 years.
People seem to think I've been a sad, closet lesbian my whole life and have told me I'm 'very brave' for finally becoming the person I've always been
Thing is, I've always been bisexual and gender is of no consequence to me. My next partner could be a man. It's about the person, not the genitals.
When I have explained this people just don't seem to get it. So many people see me as a lesbian now and when I try and say I'm not (a lesbian is only attracted to women) they sort of scoff.
I find it rather annoying that I've been pigeon holed now and that they think my whole marriage was me being unhappy and longing for a bit of fanny
My marriage broke down because we didn't get a long. Not because I was secretly gay.
Anyone else been in this situation?
