31F, recently divorced (from a man), I've never shared that I wondered if I was bisexual with anyone. I kind of thought my attraction to women was within the "hetero" range, "I'm more sexually comfortable than others" is what I thought, so it never came up but I've felt it since elementary school. I've only ever been with men and when my 10 year relationship ended, I felt excited to have the chance to explore this part of myself but only told one person who I had just recently met that is bi too. No one close to me knows. Recently there was a segment on a news channel that talked about the different types of privilege in our society, being heterosexual being one, of course. My mom says "yea, and you're straight", it caught me off guard and so I go "eeeeeeeh..", laughed 🤦🏽‍♀️ and moved on to the next topic. She thought about it for a while then grilled me about it later and well, now she knows. She didn't take it as well as I would have hoped, she thinks it's because of the divorce but it's not. Now that I've heard other bisexual people talk about there experience, especially with the "I thought it was kinda normal" thing, I feel validated! I'm sure she'll come around (there's a lot of other stress going on, poor timing) but I'm not anywhere near ready to tell other people in my life after that. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Here's to being a late bloomer, I guess. Anyone else?
