    Im a Bi woman, with my fella over 4 years, basically reliased i was Bi when i was 17 (23 NOW) and he knows this.

    When we got together he said it didnt bother him, BUT if theres a girl i spot out and i fancy her and she likes me , he GOES MAD! he considers it cheating If i snog her (and he wont have a 3 some cos He doesnt wanna share me)

    I thought men loved 2 women together, what the deal? Is he crazy?

    SPEAK UP MEN!!!!!!!!!!!

    would you consider it cheating if he snogged another bird?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge


    Cheating is cheating, regardless of gender? If you're not in a consensual open relationship then I really don't blame your boyfriend and it's slightly worrying that you're bothered that he doesn't fit into this stereotype.

    Eh... is there some way that it's not? E.g. if he snogged someone else, would you not consider it cheating? :confused:

    Edit: oops, beaten to this point by a couple of posters above.

    I don't understand the not wanting a threesome bit though.

    That was 4 years ago, things are different now. You're together longer, feelings changed. I'd agree with him tbh.

    If he is in love with you, then he would be rightfully annoyed. If it's just a bit of a fling, I wouldn't mind my girl and another girl playing pattycakes - but if it was anything serious, it would be a no no.

    I'd say the guy is just honestly loved up with you. How does he know you fancy them? If you're slutting around with them, that's it's hardly respectful to the guy if you've been with him 4 years.

    So no, he's not crazy.

    Its not double standards, unless you'd be fine with him snogging other people.

    He doesn't want you exploring your sexuality with others. Would you like him exploring his with others?

    And as for him not wanting to play in a three some... no one should ever be forced into a sexual encounter they do not desire.

    he says he wants one, when when hes handed 1 he doesnt want it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 399 ✭✭-Freebird-


    Maybe you did, but I didn't see a response to 'Would you mind him fooling around?'

    But when i go to do it- he freaks out..

    And for the record he snogged a bird two weeks ago in a club cos he (in his words ) thought it was me(she was skinny/aneroxic - im not)

    so ya ...Double standards!!!!!!!

    1. You seem annoyed that he did that.
    2. Don't take this the wrong way, but jesus, what's the point of being with someone if you wanna 'explore' other things. Be with him and just him, or move on.

    Well, aren't you annoyed by that?

    Can you see my point here?

    TBH it sounds like there are more issues here than you wanting to spread your plastic lesbian wings.

    And me and him were just menta be a fling, i told him that- he fell for me, wanted a relationship but i said no cos i was bi, he said it wouldnt bother him, I fell for him... and now its like im not allowed to be bi

    No fair!!!!!

    If being bi is more important than being in a relationship with this dude then end it because as everyone's saying it looks pretty crap from where we're sitting!


    Otherwise put the lesbiantics behind you and work on your relationship.

    Have to agree. From the sounds of it you're not the only one getting bored either! Just walk now and "explore your sexuality" as a single woman or find someone who's willing to be in an open relationship.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 399 ✭✭-Freebird-

    You should have ended it there... You should have had to eventually fall for him...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 204 ✭✭A racy brainrot


    when you are going out with someone then you are going out with someone.

    Yes, look at other people and think that they may be attractive, but not complaining because your other-half won't let you be with other people.
    At first he might have been open to it, but time has passed now and his opinions have changed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,094 ✭✭✭✭javaboy


    OP's profile says they're 22 not 23. ipso facto I don't believe a word of this. ;)

    If this is serious why not post in PI?

    PI in AF is so much more fun.

    No annoying "read the charter" every 10 seconds.

    Personally OP I think you have a drink problem/drug problem/should talk to him/should dump him.

    Oh hold on.... I reverted to PI answer mode....

    Dammit.... your man is weird however a nagging voice in the back of my head seems to agree with him should you not be a terrible troll which I think you are :(

    More women should be bi and willing to experiment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,556 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    Being bi is not a licence to have a man and a woman at the same time.

    Grand it gives you a larger poole to pick from, but if atthis stage you are not getting what you want from the relationship and you want to go "eating out" id say end the relationship

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,107 ✭✭✭flanum


    what kinda girls do ya go for? are all girls potential bi? it seems they must be, the way you seem to be implying that when you are out and you see a girl you fancy etc etc? or do you go to gay clubs? just wandering?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 399 ✭✭-Freebird-


    Are all women potentially bi? I have to wonder if that's a serious question.

    im trying to get a picture on this relationship. i mean if she is out hunting for girls to pick up, does she go to gay bars/clubs? if she does, then does her o/h know that she is out/do they go together? im trying to figure it out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Cianos


    Sounds like he's afraid to break up with you and you're carrying him along. Cut to the chase tbh

    Course we're all bi! Sure aren't we all riding other women in secret! It's just that the men have yet to figure this out.

    Dammit, bi cat out of secret-keeping bag!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 399 ✭✭-Freebird-


    Tbh Flanum, it doesn't matter how she's doing, it's a ridiculous relationship. If you knew your OH resented you because she couldn't play about, would you really wanna continue?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,107 ✭✭✭flanum


    its just that i was in a relationship a few years ago, the girl was actually fully into her wimmins before we met for a long time, then she sort of went through a "bi" phase (when i met her) this was all made known to me, i was ok with it. i was happy to let her eyes wander at other women and didnt mind her flirting with women(tbh it did add a bit of spice) and we had agreed it wouldnt ever get any further. but after year 5 or so, she started having a few sly flings with girls (she went specifically to gay bars/clubs) and to me, this was no different to her cheating on me with guys! cheating is cheating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,913 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6

    SPEAK UP MEN!!!!!!!!!!!

    and he's heterosexual. Do you want him ogling other women? You wouldnt get jealous if he said yeah I'd ride her? And then how would you feel if he went off and slept with her?
