If you are bisexual and in a 'forever' relationship

I am in a long term relationship of 15 years with a man. I recently had my head turned by someone who was a woman. I know I am bisexual as had flings with women before being with my DP though no real relationships.
I now feel sad that I will never be able to explore further this side of myself as I do not want to split with my DP.
Anyone else find this difficult? Sometimes I just want to feel the closeness with a female.

Would you be open to your husband seeing
Other women if he fancied someone? If the answer is yes then have the discussion.

We did this - it was absolutely brilliant.

I hear you OP, I’m bisexual and have been with my (Male) partner for a decade. As someone upthread said, sex with a woman is qualitatively different to sex with a man - I love both but can’t really compare the two IYSWIM. DH and I are very open about the possibility of non-monogamy at some point in our relationship, so I kind of assume I’ll have sex with a woman again one day. What helps me is still being very much part of the scene and having a lot of lesbian and bisexual friends who I can express that side of myself with on a social level.

My girlfriend felt the same way. We agreed to a somewhat open relationship. She slept with a few women and now says she's very happy and hasn't been with anyone else for the last four years so it seemed to work for us.
