How do I ask my partner is he bi/gay.

Jewels1973 · 29/06/2024 22:59

Advice needed. Ive been in a relationship with my partner for 8 years. I looked at his phone and saw an email from an ad he had placed on a site "looking for a male c**k to pay with possibly go further" I am shocked and total devastated as I had no idea. I know I need to ask him but how do I go about it. I know he'll deny that he is bi or gay and say he posted it as a joke with his friends, but I know he was on his own with no friends with him that day. He'll just make a massive argument about why I looked at his phone. Do I ask him and keep pushing till he tells me that truth or do I ask him and wait to he accepts his sexuaility. I gave up a lot to be with him and think now he just saw me as a cover. Our sex live is non existent as he claims to have a bad back which he does, but he hasnt touched me in years and now I realise why. I cant sleep or eat at the thought of this conversation. It is absolutely killing me emotionally. Please help

But it doesnt make any difference

He posted on a sex site
That doesnt matter if its a gay site or a straight site
He wants to do sexual things with other people and not her

It makes a difference to the people that it happened to.
It doesn't matter if other people don't think it makes a difference.

Im not saying it doesnt matter

It doesnt make a difference if he is GAY and has been looking for penis on websites
Thats what i am saying !!!!

OP, I would just end it.

Don’t discuss it, just give notice if you are renting or decide a plan for whatever.

He is obviously happy to let the situation drag on indefinitely, so you will have to drive the change. If he asks why the answer has to be “you know why”

The fact he would do this should mean all bets are off.

Well to be honest wether he is bi/ gay/ questioning is neither here nor there as he is cheating or attempting to cheat on you.

I would directly confront at this stage, the fact that you looked at his phone pales in comparison to what he has been up to. But yes you are probably right that he will lie and deflect.

This is what I came to say. At least if he hasn't touched you you're less likely to have contracted an std although I'd still get checked as you don't know how long he's been cheating/attempting to cheat and it sounds unlikely that you'll get the full truth

Just leave him.
If you really think he will put up a smoke barrier and a fight over this, up and go. You willnot regret it.
The tell tale is no sex life for you, not even affection.
You are not a thing to hide behind OP.
