Hello, Everyone! Happy Monday! Hope everyone's day is going well thus far. SO I do have a question that you awesome and lovely people might have an answer to.
Has anyone experienced being able to date one sex but not the other? I'm sure the forum is probably full of these type of situations but I'm trying to understand and truly grasp the root of the issue.
Prime example: My husband says I'm allowed to date women but not men (I am bisexual, btw). A little back story - my husband has always known about my bisexuality. He does not mind me having a girlfriend at all (even if he doesn't have a gf of his own).
My bestie says that since I'm allowed to date outside the marriage so should my husband.
My hangup is this - that is fine and dandy - but if I am not allowed to date men AND women as I please but he can all the women he can/wants? Essentially, he has no restrictions while because I'm bi - I'm limited to dating women only. I don't think it's right or fair.
Am I looking at this the wrong way? Please let me know if I am because I more than willing to change my outlook and way of thinking. Maybe I am being a little b^$@!. If I am, I can own that. Just please don't be too mean if this is a ignorant/silly/dumb/foolish question. My apologies in advance if it is. IDK who else to ask. I don't have any poly or bi friends.
Thanks in advances for your replies!
