This extremely accurate. I agree with you 100%Not sure how old you are but I’m guessing much younger than me (55). If that’s the case, you gotta consider that for those of us from older generations, we’ve been programmed by society all our lives to reject anything outside a ‘normal’ heterosexual relationship. Even cheating was heavily frowned on.
It’s a lie, yes, but calling myself curious rather than bi is an easier pill to swallow.
The last 10-20 years has opened all that up but you can’t unprogram a person so easily. And as mentioned, most of us have been married to women for thirty years who generally can’t or won’t accept this. Not to mention lifelong friendships that will also end. I marvel at the elasticity of younger generations but for me to just be out with it means my entire world goes upside down and I’m not sure I want that. Not when I can have my cake and eat it too.
