I have never been with someone bisexual, to my knowledge at least.
For me, it's not entirely about trust. It's a part of it, but my brain just doesn't compute the same way.
I mean there are two main complications involved. The first is that if you're bisexual, you obviously have interest in both genders. If you stick with a long term serious relationship with one gender, do you not eventually start to miss the interactions of the other gender?
Let's say you with someone for 2 or 3 years and the relationship starts to hit a lull like most do. Does your interest in meeting someone new increase and does that interest increase even more so towards the other gender you've been missing out on?
So does that increase the potential of cheating? I think that's where many come from in regards to the trust part.
Secondly, let's say the girl I am with is bisexual but wants to remain committed to our relationship, maybe even wanting to get married. Should I not feel guilty that by being in a long term committed relationship with me, she is now cut off from her true sexuality and is essentially forced to remain heterosexual?
How is a straight person, even one with an open and accepting mind, supposed to not feel some responsibility for directly or indirectly restricting their sexuality to one gender, AKA Me?
How is that supposed to work after being together for 5, 10, 20 or more years? How would YOU manage that? How would you cope for essentially the rest of your life to never have sex with the other gender again?
See, as a heterosexual person, it's not so much of an issue sticking with one person, because I am interested in breasts and vaginas and my partner has those things I am interested in, so the need to go out for more breasts and vaginas isn't as great.
I assume the same applies to a bisexual person more or less when it comes to a partner, but while you're getting one set of genitals and body and sexual interaction, you don't get the other.
To me, that's kind of like me having a female partner with either breasts but no vagina or a vagina but no breasts. If I had to choose, I'd go with the vagina, but I'd prefer both at the same time.
Thats just how my thinking works. I am not bi, so I can only relate and interpret based on my own perspective, which is probably way off, I don't know.
So let's say I accept my partners bisexuality and her needs and desires to get it on with other women, as well as myself. To be fair, I would let her have a female sexual partner, but technically, I too should have a second partner. Obviously since I am hetro, it'd be another female because that's how my sexuality works. If she's going to be permitted two sexual partners, regardless of gender, then so should I.
Now I already can hear the counter arguments against that idea and I have heard them in the past. And I imagine the bisexual female partner of mine would worry about the other female being hetro and worry I may dump her for the hetro. So do we both find another bisexual female so it all evens out, where both girls get a girl and guy and I get two girls?
See, this is all hypothetical and could be all way off base, but the bottom line is that for someone like me, and probably for many other heterosexual people, it seems extremely complicated to figure out and understand.
It's tricky as hell to wrap your head around how it all works for someone like you, there is indeed this underlying issue of how a bisexual person could truly handle a long term, committed relationship, perhaps for the rest of your life. It seems easy to end up offending or perhaps restricting a bisexual person.
So the easiest solution is to just steer clear of it altogether.
In short, yes I find it difficult to trust bisexuals in relationships. I’m not saying that bisexuals are not trustworthy, it is just a result of my past experience. Two of my ex girlfriends were both bisexual, and whenever we would go to parties or clubs together they would often start making out and get overly sexual with their female friends in front of me, and then flaunt the excuse that it’s just something that girls do. In one of these instances she broke up with me because she had developed feelings for her friend. So as a result I find it difficult to trust bisexuals, but only when they engage in sexual activities while they are in a relationship.
I actually asked the question on how trustworthy are bisexual men when it comes to long term monogamy to an online dating coach who I generally think gives good advice. He said in his experience it doesn't work long term. I have to believe that it is more a personality thing than an orientation thing. I wouldn't think that bi men who stray any more than straight men. I even saw a video where a bi woman said she'd never date a bi man. I'm sure many women have dated bi men or mostly straight men and never knew it.
I think there is a fear factor that if that man they are sleeping with isn't being loyal and sleeping with men especially not being careful how they sleep with men they could bring back HIV. I think HIV is the strongest part of this equation. The thing is in my age group 50+ too many people are not using safe sex. 27% of all new cases annually of HIV is in 50+ adults in the U. S.
I’ll be honest. There’s no way I would ever date a bisexual guy. I once dated a guy who had a past of secretly seeing multiple girls at once. His friends noticed he wasn’t being a player anymore and they told me that it was a good thing because they believed he had saw something special in me. They were excited for us and they were happy their friend was focused on one girl and actually trying to make things work. Well eventually I found out he was sleeping with a bunch of different guys behind my back. When I confronted him about it, he said he wasn’t cheating because it’s not with other girls. And he basically told me he lied about 90% of everything he told me about himself. I didn’t know what to believe and I stopped trusting people. His friends found out the same time I did and they were surprised as well.

If it is a monogamous relationship, I don't see why they'd be anymore untrustworthy than anyone else. My understanding of this question is that he wouldn't be seeing others while we're together.
It's just a statistical probability fact. If you would buy two types of cars, you have more options when shopping. If you would buy four types of car, that person has even more options. And on and on. Having twice the options give more opportunity.
An ex was bisexual. I was always worried she'd go back to women. I was her first man. What bothered me is she didn't tell me her friends told me. Surely it's something you tell your partner. After two years she cut me with no explanation so I think that's what happened. She was using me to get nice things.. She told me as much. Two weeks later she cut me.
Yes because your competition has just doubled... in fact now it's a mystery because u never know which of their phases they would be in.. is it woman now or men now? Hmm
All of the bisexual ls on here say, “trust us! We don’t cheat”
Actually, I trust people less the more they say they can be trusted
Of course not, sexual orientation has nothing to do with trustworthiness
No, I don't. If a bisexual person is not trustworthy it has nothing to do with their sexuality.
No , my second wife was bi sexual never had any problem...
Yes. But blame it on all the bisexual men who go around and complain about how sex with their wives or girlfriends is so much worse than with a man. This is basically the main reason to why women feel insecure dating bisexual men.
No, bisexuals and pansexuals are just as dishonest in a relationship as heterosexuals and homosexuals.
Unpopular opinion: I personally wouldn't. It's bad enough being concerned about your SO around the opposite sex, but with a bi person you'd have to worry about them around their own sex too.
I think the thing with it is your partner knows there is twice the competition. It just increases the chance of you finding someone "better" than they are.
Bisexuals are the biggest perverts
So yes big red flag
No they are actually more loyal a n more understanding compare to heterosexual women. Bi women aren't afraid of committing n exploring.
There’s double the potential risk, but cheating comes down to morals and values, and it’s ultimately a decision.
I wouldn't want to be close enough to one to find out.
I am bisexual myself and no, sexuality has nothing to do with that
Yes and a lot. Cause they're attracted to both genders
No! I'm bi-sexual myself!‽
Nah. I'm Bi and never would stray.
