Cheat Confession: I'm Afraid To Tell My GF I Might Be Bi

Have you ever visited Cheat Confession? It's a site where people who have cheated/ been cheated on go to come clean or ask for advice. And they want help from our opinionated and helpful Datingish readers.KC:
"So I've had this GF for some time now (about 4 years) and we've been living fine and stuff, but lately I met this man at my job (Starbucks) and I actually had a thing for him. I've never felt I was gay before but for some reason now I do. We were talking and he wanted me to hang out with him this weekend, so I gladly said yes. Now I am debating about whether or not I am gay or not, maybe bi. Either way I am thinking of meeting up with him and having a good time. I just hope my GF doesn't find out that I may be bi, it'll break her heart.
Can you give me some advice?"
You can find more stories and give advice at Cheat Confessions.

If your intent is not to be faithful, does it really matter if it's with a man or a woman? Does it even matter if she knows or not? If you're not being/willing to be faithful, then it's not healthy for either of you to be together. Let her have someone better.
i think the question is more along the lines of 'do you still want to be with your girlfriend' and not this other guy or someone else. aside from the gay or bi or not topic, you owe her faithfulness and it seems right now you are agreeing to 'hang out' with this guy with the idea of at least EMOTIONALLY cheating, if not going on 'dates' even if nothing purely physical happens.
you need to back up and assess the situation with your current girlfriend first, and DON'T cheat on her. if you're concerned that being bi will break her heart, know that cheating will do just as much damage.
Hmm. Well, you should definitely keep in mind the feelings of your girlfriend. You wouldn't want to intentionally hurt someone you care about- even if you ARE questioning your sexuality. However, I think that your attraction to this guy is a natural thing. Just feel it out, listen to your gut about what you're feeling. If you're excited about hanging out with him, thinking about the different possibilities that could happen with him, daydreaming, trying to look nice when you think you might see him, or feel yourself acting flirty with him or trying to impress him in small ways... I'd say you've got a crush :) Like I said, just feel it out, follow your instincts- don't worry about labeling yourself as bi or gay. This is about You. Not a label. If you discover that you are actually gay, or just feel you want this guy more than her, then it'd be best to tell your girl asap so that you can still have a friendship. I'm sure she will try her best to understand your feelings and won't take it as a personal offense. I wish you the best and hope all your answers come with ease :)

DON'T CHEAT! It's not worth it. Everyone involved in the triangle ends up hurting.
Cheating is for cowards. If you want to pursue other people tell her honestly. And break up with her before you do.
It sounds like you're more afraid of telling her you want an open relationship, than telling her you're bi. Being bi won't change the relationship. Going out with other people will. If that's what you want, though, talk to her about it, see how she feels, and go from there.
@Lady_Kelacy@xanga - Couldn't have said it better.
@Lady_Kelacy@xanga - Agreed =)
Either man up or break up with her. Because apparently, you don't have anything good in store for her...
Well, I see what you're saying. I'd bring it up casually in a talk. But first, go out with him, and see how you feel. Don't do anything, but just get a feel for yourself. Ya know? If you really think that you honestly are bi, then let her in on it. You've been dating for 4 years, this is stuff that you tell her about. Have a heart to heart and figure things out.
I quickly learned that having an open relationship is all about communication, weather it's with someone of the same gender or not.
Best of luck man. =)
If you like him, tell her. Don't be an idiot and cheat and let her find out that you're both bi/gay and a liar and a cheater. It isn't your fault if you have feelings for him. Just don't ruin your girlfriend's life. It's not fair for her to be dragged on. You have no right to do that.
As a girl in a committed long term relationship, I would feel that this would be something I deserved to know. I would think that if you have spent four years of your life with this girl, you love her, and respect her. If you respect her, you need to honestly consider the fact that if you have feelings for someone, whether it's a man or woman, whether she would want to know. I'm sure that it won't break her heart. You cannot help who you're attracted to, and I'm sure that you both have been attracted to other people in your four years of dating... what makes this so different? Is it because you want to experiment and see if you're really gay... or bi? If so, then you still need to be upfront with her, because dragging her along for this ride without her knowing anything about it then... that's not fair at all. Just be calm, and collected when you tell her, and try not to get into any arguments. Understand that it might be a hard time for her, and try to help her through that, and she will do the same for you.
cheaters piss me off. I don't have advice for you. my advice for her is to kick you in the balls with a pair of steel toed boots if you cheat. then don't hesitate to dump you.
No, to answer your question (which everyone seemed to miss)
I do not read "Cheat Confession." I do not read in a box I do not read it with a fox.
And it's unlikely I ever will read Cheat Confession. The quoted "confession" doesn't even seem like a real question it's so stupid. he doesn't knows if the other guy is gay or not; it doesn't sound like he cares about the girl he's been with for four years; and it doesn't sound like he's got a thought in his head about his sexuality.
I think if you post on Xanga you shouldn't be just copying from other sites where the people might not be as real as I like to think they are here. I like to think Xangans are a little deeper than this bloke, lol.
well who cares if you're bi, I don't think she would be upset about that, but if you acted on it then yes she would be upset (and probably more upset because it was a guy because she didn't even know you had an interest in men.)
how close are you guys? talk to her about it? maybe you're just curious... I know there are plenty of women who are curious too, maybe your girlfriend is one of them. either way, it's best to be open with her about it.
I dont' think she'd care so much as to whether or not your bi as opposed to whether or not you're going to cheat on her.
And, if you're going to cheat, you don't deserve to be in the relationship. Grow some balls, end it and fuck the guy. Or, get over it, don't fuck the guy, or just 'hang out' and be faithful to your girlfriend.
Two easy choices. Don't complicate things and hurt an innocent person. In this case, your girlfriend.
awe!! ): im bi as is my boyfriend. ... i don't think it matters to much. we just tell eachother what happens and don't hide anything about the other relationships.
The problem is whether you are a cheater or not. Not if you are straight or bisexual. Sorry, no sympathy for you here.
Oh. My. God. Ok, guy or girl, THIS IS CHEATING. Seriously, dude, this is how guys spread AIDs & it pisses me the fuck off. Be straight with her, don't lie & ruin everything.
Don't cheat. I'm sure she'd be more upset about the fact that you cheated on her more so than the fact that you think you may be gay/bi.
Please tell her. I've been her before. Please tell her.
As everyone else is saying, your sexuality is a secondary issue here. Being bisexual does not mean you have to have sexual partners of both sexes to be satisfied. It simply means your sexual partners could be either male or female, but you have no problems being commited to one person.
Straight, gay, or bi, cheating is cheating. If you want to see where things could go with this man, go for it. But be honest and break things off with your girlfriend first.Â
@starving__art1st@xanga - AIDS has nothing to do with homosexual behavior. It has everything to do with having unprotected sex. If he was to cheat on his girlfriend (which I obviously do not support but just for the sake of argument), but used a condom with both people it is highly unlikely that he or his girlfriend will contract HIV. If the man he sleeps with doesn't have HIV then none of them are getting AIDS.
The only reason AIDS is stereotyped as a "gay disease" is because of the prevelance of gay men around the 1980s that contracted HIV. However, the reason for this was that gay men didn't know they needed to use protection, because they obviously didn't need a condom for birth control purposes, and there wasn't enough information out there about how HIV was spread. It was spread among people many other ways too, such as needle sharing among drug users, because again, we didn't educate people enough on how the virus was spread.
Now that gay men are using protection more often, the most common way HIV is spread these days is between heterosexual couples through vaginal intercourse.
@WithTheBirdIShare@xanga - No, i don't mean this is a gay disease. I mean this is how men spread AIDs because often times they will have a marriage/relationship, then go & have a side affair with a man who ends up having AIDs, gives it to his wife who could even end up having kids with AIDs/HIV.. it's a huge mess because men cannot be open about their sexuality & just break it off.
I understand there are other ways to spread the disease, but i was responding to the situation given by the poster, not the disease in general.
Whether you use a condom or not, cheating is wrong. & since you can't know who has what diseases, it's best not to put someone you love at risk. That was the point of my response.
@Art_Is_War423@xanga - Understood. I'd just like to note for the record that they could also have an affair with a woman, contract HIV, and spread it to their wife or female partner.
But I agree. Cheating is cheating is cheating. No ifs, ands, or buts.Â
