Because one's sexual preference doesn't mean they are going to cheat. Cheaters cheat, and that's that. Why would this be any different from, say, heterosexual couples? I'm a hetero married woman. There are a jillion guys out there. I don't sleep with them. Bisexuality doesn't mean one can't control oneself in a monogamous relationship...unless, as I said, the person is a cheater.

basil67 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 @davidpimenov I think you don't understand what "cheat" means 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MsJayne Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Are you the cheater or the cheatee? Assuming that the bi-sexual partner is the cheater, what does their sexuality have to do with the cheating? Doesn't matter whether they've cheated with a man, a woman, or a goat, cheating is cheating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ExpatInItaly Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Because sexual preference and sexual fidelity are not the same thing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The same way a hetero person can cheat in a monogamous relationship. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
mark clemson Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 On 12/15/2023 at 12:44 PM, davidpimenov said: in a monogamous relationship Just because the person they are cheating with isn't the same sex doesn't mean that the partner doesn't feel both betrayed and threatened by the 3rd person. Monogamous generally implies you don't bring a 3rd person into the relationship, or if you do it's with explicit permission and frequently for a finite time period. There are "rules" to ensure that, while fun may be had, the new person does not threaten the stability of the existing 2-person relationship. If a bisexual starts with a different partner without letting the "main" partner know and getting their permission, it's still cheating (or at least would be seen as such by many) regardless of the sex of the new partner.

Just become someone is attracted to/has had sexual relationships with individuals of different genders doesn’t give them permission to have sex with anyone they choose… Particularly not if this person is in a relationship with another person who would prefer to be monogamous (regardless of their gender). As was said above, sexual preference and sexual fidelity are two very different things. Edited December 17, 2023 by BaileyB Link to post Share on other sites
