Bisexual Fiancé

Bisexual Fiancé

By , About.com Guides

B.C. has concerns after she learned that her fiancé is bisexual.

Question

I have met the love of my life only about 3 months ago, and not long ago we got engaged. Everything was perfect, we had never even had a single argument. But recently, he told me he is bisexual.

I told him I understand completely, and that it's no big deal. But to tell you the truth, it is eating me up inside ever since I told him I'm OK with it.

He tells me it doesn't matter because I'm the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with; that there will be no man or woman for him. But do you think a bisexual man could take care of his wife and children and lead a successful family life, just as good as a straight man?

Do you think that this could be a serious issue we'll face in the future of our relationship? Should I be concerned that he will miss having a gay relationship and leave me, even if he's extremely faithful now?

Please share any advice or suggestion you may have. I really need your help!
