Once you ring a bell, it cannot be un-rung. She may have taken it fine…or she may have left me over it; who’s to say? Would you want to risk losing someone over that?
When I came out to the people around me (long after the divorce), it was terrifying. Who will react in what way? Which relationships or friendships will never be the same? Who will embrace me? Or worse: who will throw me away? What about my parents?
Coming out is what can feel selfish. I wasn’t a secret homosexual, longing for the comfort of a man. I was happy where I was, with who I was with, and what I had.
A detail about my life that didn’t make a difference in our partnership was not shared. If she had asked me, I would have told her the truth.
There are plenty of people out there that are accepting of having a bisexual man as a partner, and I’d dare say that there are substantially more that behind closed doors would consider it a no-go.
