Bit of a weird one, how can I come out as bi without my boyfriend getting the wrong idea? (I’m a cis girl btw)

Hello anon, it’s not weird at all.

Part of being in a relationship is being honest and transparent with one another, and it’s important to live your truth as a bisexual person.

I would suggest sitting your partner down and letting him know that your orientation doesn’t compromise your love for him. Be honest about your orientation. Hiding it will only create a void between the two of you, and could possibly lead to resentment.

I think the question to focus on here is what will you do if he doesn’t accept that part of you? If he does, which he should, then it should be smooth sailing- he might need help understanding where you stand on the exclusiveness of your relationship- often times people can mistake a bisexual person for wanting to be something other than monogamous, which isn’t the case. After that’s explained, it should ideally be smooth sailing.

But if there is something holding you back from telling him, I would look at that. Is it because you’re afraid he won’t accept you, or that your relationship will suffer/end? If that’s a fear of yours, this may not be the relationship for you. Being who you are is more important than any relationship you’re in.

I hope this helps!
