Is my fiancée bisexual?

Flyhigh12 · 29/05/2024 16:05

I feel really lost and confused and don’t know what to do. I’ve been with my fiancee for two years and in the process of planning our wedding next summer.

My fiancé’s phone broke and he needed a phone to use for the time being while it gets fixed. I found a bunch of old phones so put them on charge to see which one works so he can use it. Managed to successfully find an old phone that he was using so I turned it on to see if it works ok. (I know a lot of you will say it was wrong for me to do this but I went through the pictures thinking I’ll see cute, fun pictures from before we met) but omg was I wrong and I wish I hadn’t!

I found video after video of recordings of him with different women during the time period he said he was in a previous serious relationship. But the one that shocked me the most was with a transgender male from 2020, two years before we started dating.

We’ve had loads of conversations about sexual preferences but he’s never mentioned anything about being bi. He’s always made jokes and homophobic comments about gay men and how he doesn’t agree with it.

I’ve just got so many questions going through my mind.. is he a cheat as he was doing this while he was in a relationship, is he also into men or was it just a one off thing to explore, is he in denial about his sexually hence all the homophobic comments he makes, will he crave that male attraction and seek it within our relationship or else where? I feel like there’s this whole other part of him that I do not know and it’s not the best way to start a marriage.

Do I speak to him about it and what do I say?

Who cares if he's bisexual or homosexual OP? The main thing is you don't know him at all. You've basically been hoodwinked and manipulated by a liar.

100% agree with the homophobic comments and won’t let him or anyone else think it’s ok to do so.

No. You support someone in this by your actions of remaining in a relationship with them. Sorry, but that’s the way it is.

So to add to the contents of the old phone, he was doing lots of drugs.

Run for the hills my dear. He's not a keeper

I think I'll sound harsh here, so sorry in advance....

You know lots of marriages end in divorce right? It's hard to last the distance even when you go into it doubt free, but people who marry despite huge red flags like this, are even more at risk of their marriage breaking down.

The fact that he's cheated (frequently) on his ex and was brazen enough to evidence it with videos is a red flag. The homophobia is also just an awful trait, regardless of whether on not it comes from a place of fear because he's bi / gay.

Marry someone who on your wedding day who you have no doubts about. Not him.

The advice given here is right. None of the anguish you will go through in the next few years will be worth it with this guy. Get rid and get someone who will not make ur stomach knot in worry…

MrsSkylerWhite · 30/05/2024 00:59

Drugs too?

Just say no.

TheShellBeach · 30/05/2024 01:03

So what are his good points?

kkloo · 30/05/2024 03:59

He said that a lot of the time he didn’t know where he was or what he was doing and his completely erased that period of his life (truth/contradictory?) He then went on to say that his completely turned his life around since he met me and would never do anything to jeopardise our relationship.

So apparently he led a wild lifestyle and cheated repeatedly on an ex and also had sex with a someone who had male genitalia? but he was on drugs and he's turned his life around and blah blah, yet apparently despite his wild drug fueled promiscious cheating past he mocks gay men because he 'doesn't agree with it?'.

Nah, he's definitely hiding his sexuality and he's also a pig.

Did you know about the drug use? How well do you really know this man you're supposed to marry? Do you know anything about why he was apparently in a really bad/dark place? Or is everything about that time period news to you?

Does he do any drugs now?

Paper over it all you want, but believe me, it will be 1000 times harder one you’re married and have children. Throw this one back.

It will he difficult to accept but honestly... this

So to recap we have:

Drug use
Lying (to you)
Cheating (on ex)
Videoing the cheating and sex to rewarch 🤮
Undisclosed Sexual kinks?
Questions around his sexuality combined with weird "the lady doth protest too much" homophobia

I couldnt imagine / didnt have any understanding before i had children of just HOW trapped/locked in you are once kids are in the picture. i feel it intensely and i am high earning and independent and married to one of the good ones... yet still!

Run dont walk and do NOT put down any deposits on any wedding things.

Ask yourself honestly: would i be happy if my daughter was marrying this man???
If its a no... you know what you need to do

You must have a guardian angel looking out for you because it’s actually a god send you saw this before the wedding. He cheated on his ex, he’s bisexual, he’s homophobic and he’s a liar. He hasn’t turned his life around or he would have been honest with you and not still lying. You need to really think hard about if this is the sort of man you want to commit to, to have children with (assuming you want them).

suburberphobe · 17/07/2024 18:02

He’s always made jokes and homophobic comments about gay men and how he doesn’t agree with it.

They are the worst - would you accept racism?! - to hide their true instincts.

AIDS is still around. Have a STI test. Knowledge is power.
