I am struggling right now with idea of who I want to be in a relationship. Iโve always dreamed of being with a man, thatโs what I was raised to be believe and have had actual dreams of such. But as I began to come into my sexuality more, being bi which Iโve known since I was 7 and scared to come out. I really wrestle with the idea of falling in love with a women. Iโve had two girlfriends one in high school and one college , neither were fruitful or long term. Iโm scared and have no idea how to even navigate that territory, Iโve never approached a women I donโt even know how and Iโve got three kids which is stressful. I havenโt told them about my sexuality even though I know they wonโt have a problem with it I"m still scared. Iโve been raised with the belief that children need a man/father in their lives and if I end up with a women Iโll be robbing them of that. Although their father isnโt in their lives already as much as they hurt because of it. Iโm so emotional, I donโt know what to do or say or if I should do anything, but its killing me inside I feel so trapped.
Your children donโt need a father. They need a parentโฆ or parents.
That is a very good point, I definitely didnโt see that perspective. Thank you for your input.
