Sorry this is a bit long.
I’m a female in my 20s and I think I’m turning bisexual.
I am currently in a relationship with this guy for more than 5 years now. We’ve been together since college. For the past half-year, we have been living in different cities because of our respective work. We communicate regularly and I do believe that he’s the guy I’m going to marry.
During the time my boyfriend and I have been apart, I’ve been living in an all-female apartment building. There’s this one female resident who I immediately took a liking to. I started getting to know her and found out we had a lot of common interests. I really wouldn’t say that she and I are close friends, more like her set of friends and my set of friends hang out together.
Anyway, at first I thought I like her only as a friend but I realized later on that I like her in the sense that I’m attracted to her. I get this sudden urge to touch her when she’s near me. I started to have dreams about her (and yes, I’m talking about
those kind of dreams). I consider my day incomplete if I don’t see her. I even fantasize about confessing my feelings to her, but oh, that way lay madness.
I have always thought myself to be heterosexual. My past relationships were all with a guy. Though there was one time in high school when I had a crush on one of my female classmates. But I chalked that up to teenage hormones.
Of course my boyfriend has no idea at all about my ongoing identity crisis. When I’m on the phone with him, I avoid talking about her for fear that he may suspect that something’s amiss. I do feel guilty for keeping all these secrets from him. Call me selfish, but I don’t want him to think differently of me.
There isn’t anyone I can talk to about this in real life so I’m turning to the internet for advice. So istorya, do you think I’m really turning bisexual?
