Am I bi? Or just perimenopausal and thinking about sex

Been married to DH for 16 years, sometimes we get on OK and sometimes we really don't. I suppose I've never really actually felt a huge physical attraction towards him, we kind of fell into marriage as we had kids and it seemed the right road to go down. I find excuses whenever I can to not have sex with him because I just really don't want to do it. He's not unattractive but I just find myself cringing when he touches me. We've now got 4 kids and I feel like I'm kind of stuck in a situation that I don't want to be in but that I can't see a way out of. I don't want to hurt him, I'm everything to him... He loves me completely, but I just don't feel the same.

Recently I've started having huge doubts about my sexuality because I've become more and more attracted to women than I used to be. I've always found women's bodies more of a turn on than men's (penises are ugly things!) but I always just shrugged it off and assumed that all women fancied women sometimes. In particular I can't stop thinking about a certain woman I know and what it would be like to be with her. When I'm alone, my fantasies involve women.

I just don't know what to do. How do I know? Could it just be my age (mid 40s) which could me making me think more about sexual situations that are just fantasies and would never actually happen? Or is it that I genuinely could be bi? It's all so confusing. I feel like I don't want to hurt my family and have everyone hate me, but I don't want to live my life miserable and wondering.

Not wanting to be touched by your straight partner has nothing inherently do with sexual preferences. I got to tensing up physically and feeling nauseous if my now ex-wife even put a hand on me in the last couple of years before we divorced. And I've never been attracted to other men.

If you find other women sexually attractive, that's all there is to it. There's no need to put a label on it like bi or gay or whatever.

Do you find yourself making friends with new women you meet? Are you spending more time on your appearance? Do you watch nice femme porn like Bellesa.com?

There’s also a big thing about “late bloomer lesbians” on stuff like instagram recently, I’m in my 20s but follow a lady who came out when she was 40 and left her marriage, not saying that’s what it is but don’t feel ashamed if you’re just discovering it now xx

After posting here and a few more days thought @Jade443 are you closer to making a decision to change any aspect of your life?

You've never been attracted to him and you cringe when he touches you. I suggest that your marriage is dead and you leave. It will benefit your children to see that unhappiness is not compulsory.

It's more common than you think for ladies to feel like they want to explore with other ladies as they get older 🤷‍♀️.
