How do I stop thinking about women?

I am bi and my husband knows I am as I was married to a woman before. I love my husband so much but find myself wanting attention from women. I cheated on him with a woman about 6 months ago and came clean. He forgave me but I know it bugs him. I just can't get those feelings to go away. I have talked to him about having an open relationship and he says he doesn't want to share. I don't really want to share him either. I think I struggle because sex with a woman is so much different. I give him pointers but he is still totally lost. I don't want to lose him but I feel like the attraction is gone and I don't really enjoy myself when we have sex. I don't want to hurt him. He really is an amazing man. What do I do? How do I stop thinking about women and like shut off that desire?

If he’s getting mad about you being with other women I really think you should dump him. He’s probably gay anyway

If you cannot control your urges for women and you cannot stay faithful, love is not enough. You won’t be happy and he won’t be happy. Divorce and keep a friendship. It really isn’t fair to him.

It sounds to me like you’re polyamorous and maybe he’s not. I think you should have a conversation with him about it, decide if you can live with being monogamous and faithful to him. If you can’t be happy not straying, it’s kinder to end the relationship.

You don’t want to lose or hurt your husband? Seriously??? You did that when you made the conscious decision to cheat on him. Let him go so he can find someone that will actually love him.

He’s being hurt, you’re not happy and it is to the point you are unfaithful…Sounds like it is time you REALLY step back and figure out what you TRULY want. Wanting a woman isn’t something you can “turn off” especially when you don’t even find your spouse desirable anymore. It maybe time to leave him and go find someone you feel fulfilling. That way you don’t keep hurting him or stay unhappy yourself.

Follow your heart and feelings . Made that decision 22 years ago . Best thing I ever did

You need to have that conversation with him because it’s not fair to you or him to stay in a relationship that’s not pleasing

Are you opposed to going to therapy with him? Otherwise, if you can’t control yourself, then be single. He deserves a faithful wife, and you deserve to live your life in the happiest way—which sounds like with another woman.

Well I’m bisexual too, but it doesn’t mean I’m a cheater, first and foremost learn to be faithful! Because it sounds like you used your bisexuality as an excuse to cheater on your husband, and u can’t just “turn off your feelings” your bisexual, you already knew you like women and men, and u already knew the sex was gonna be different surely. What you need is to figure yourself out and work on yourself. And find out if you should continue this marriage or let your husband go and be happy with someone he deserves.

…sounds like you’re a lesbian and not bi. I’m bi but since I’m also happy with my husband, I’m not constantly thinking about women.

What you actually want is someone to give you the physical attention with the sole desire being your satisfaction.
:coffee::frog:
Tell that to your husband and don’t worry about his feelings - they’re his responsibility. Just like it’s yours to meet your own needs, either speak up or break up - you cannot and should not try to “shut off” your desire to be desired and pleased.

If not hurting your husband was important to you, you would have never made the decision to cheat on him. You’re an adult and capable of controlling your actions. You know right from wrong.

He has apparently made it clear that he doesn’t want an open relationship and he doesn’t want to share his wife, which is absolutely his choice, that you agreed to when you married him. If you want to sleep with random men and women, let him go so that he can find someone who he, alone, is enough for.

You just can’t stop feeling and the think . You may love your man and ever think but some time you have to be true to you . If your not happy and you all show it . Find some one your true in love with . Your husband will understand in time . If you true love your husband let him go . Do not have unhappy life to make some one happy.

You already cheated on him and are still desiring someone else. If you loved him whole heartedly you wouldn’t want anyone else. To stay with him when your heart is not in it is cruel.

Take sex off the table for yourself.

Stop making sex such a huge part of the relationship and fall in love with him not how well he is at sex… just my opinion… passion would be better too

Okay so you like women. He likes women. Maybe 3 somes? Or involve other women in your sex life with your husband. I went through a phase similar to this. Bisexual, been with the same man for years and suddenly got a massive urge to be with women sexually. A few 3 somes later I got t out of my system, hubby was happy I was happy. And still going strong a few years later.

Ugh, why did you get married??? Like what is wrong with people…:sob::sob:

You’ve cheated on him and still want someone else… like, let that man go and be happy.:raised_hands::raised_hands:

A healthy relationship is when two people grow together. If your path is leading you elsewhere then find someone who is more compatible. As for wanting an open relationship for yourself but not allowing your partner the same freedom to explore, that’s not fair for them so you need to either be ok with all that comes with it, or stick to a monogamous one.

I’ve been there. Trust me, it doesn’t go away. It’s part of who you are. It’s like those old school parents that want to " compel the gay away " it just don’t work. Bc its not a choice of who you’re attracted to or want to be with. Don’t try and change who you are. Instead be honest about what you want in your life. Your husband might just be your bestfriend and only your bestfriend. But you have to come to that conclusion on your own.
It’s not okay for you to ask him to share you. Bc for him you are his only one. Eventually he’ll move on but you have to figure out how’d you feel seeing him with another woman if you choose to follow your heart and leave.
Best of luck and positive vibes.

Put less work into what you think you want and need, and more of that energy and work into your current relationship, specifically in being what your HUSBAND needs in a wife. Relationships go BOTH ways. You get what you put in. If you’re over here obsessing over how you crave female attention, where does that leave room for your husband? The thought of you doing anything to please your husband and thinking about his needs above your own probably hasn’t even crossed your mind. You can’t expect to be the only one pleased in your intimacy if you couldn’t care less about what he likes, needs, and wants. YOU can start by learning how to communicate through your issues. If communicating your needs makes you uncomfortable and ready to quit and dip and look elsewhere, he’s not the problem. YOU are. Men don’t communicate the same way women do. But so what? You’re married. You made a commitment to your husband, which you’ve already broken at least once. Are you gonna just go find someone else every time an issue pops up in your relationship? No one is ever gonna stay with someone like that forever. Or maybe that’s your issue. You are looking too short term instant gratification rather than the long game. Short term instant gratification is just that. Short term. You’ll still be at this exact spot, wondering why you’re not happy. Only your husband won’t be with you and you’ll still be alone. I think you may need to start some deep soul searching, get real, and understand what went wrong in your previous relationships. Whether with your current husband, your previous wife, your last affair, the next girl, guy, whoever, it doesn’t matter. The common denominator here is still you. If you’re not willing to work on you, and in turn your current relationship, then you should divorce your husband and stay SINGLE. He deserves better. He needs a partner who can tell him what she needs with honesty and kindness, AND patience. How will he ever learn if you dont even tell him, or correct him if it still isn’t right? The reason sex with a woman is different is the exact reason you’re not happy. A woman has a woman’s body. A man does not. Of course SHE will know, because we all live it daily. A man doesn’t, because he doesn’t. So you tried to tell him once, and it wasn’t up to your perfect standards? Sounds to me like you’re not being patient. You have to keep teaching, and work through it. Did you learn to ride a bike after being shown once? Probably not. You worked at it until you got it right. DO. THE. WORK. If you’re not willing to do the work, you’re not relationship material, let alone marriage material. All good things take time to build and mature. There is no relationship that is instantaneously perfect. You have to build the foundation before you build the house. Otherwise the house crumbles. Meaning, you have to do the work. Instead, you’re over here looking for a quick fix to your unhappiness. How far is that getting you, right now? You’re still unhappy! The grass always looks greener on the other side. Choose your side and stick with it. Looking at your husband as a roadblock to getting whatever you think it is you want, not a partner. That’ll be the end of your relationship pretty quickly, if you continue to think and act that way. Especially when he’s forgiven you for cheating and trying to move forward, and that takes time. You are being selfish while he’s been nothing but selfless. Do you see the difference? Be selfLESS, your relationship and entire life can change, just by shifting your perspective. The most destroying and damaging state you can be in in a relationship is selfish.

Instead of an open relationship yall could always talk about bringing in a third person (female)

Be VERY open with him about your situation

You’ve already hurt him by cheating. Seems like your more attracted to women than men. (Nothing wrong with that) but you shouldnt go and cheat. Be a woman and tell him. And leave if he’ not what you want. Just leave him alone and do him a favor and let him go. Let him go find his happiness and you go find yours.

You can’t change who you are darlin. There’s no cure to stop thinking about women. It’s who you are and how you were born. It’s not a choice that you can just turn off. You will always have that feeling. There’s no easy way for this situation. You just need to do what you feel is best for you. I came out gay at 14. Parents immediately put me back in the closet. Lived my life according to how I was told to. Married a man who abused me for 14 years. Finally got away and now engaged to the most amazing woman ever. It wasn’t easy. It took a lot of courage but I feel so so much better and able to be my true self. If you need anyone to talk to please reach out to me :heart:

I think cheating is never okay. And he should have left you. But with that being said. You can’t help your sexuality. And it’s not your fault you have these desires. You need to let go and let your husband move on to someone that he deserves (no shade, just the truth) and fulfill your desires. We all have to be happy and content. No use to keep hurting someone or yourself. I would assume you are a great wife in all other areas. But sex is important and it’s not fair for either to be hurting in that area and sometimes it can break a marriage. If you are stepping out and still thinking about it. You should end the marriage before you really hurt someone.

Leave him and give him a chance to find someone that won’t be cheating on him.

Be honest. Get divorced and do NOT get married again until you are absolutely certain what you want from the other person. Sex is not the be all end all in relationships but you seem very fixated on that aspect. I would maybe seek out a therapist to help you find insight on why you willing to ruin a relationship for attention from other people- what are you missing or think you are missing out on that you could cheat / harm another person for pleasure that you could try to enjoy with a committed relationship. Relationships and commitment are work and if you don’t want that and what they represent you need to be honest and not hurt yourself or anyone else. You are the only one who knows what you really want.

Monogamy is weird and not for everyone is there is nothing wrong with that. You’ll make yourself and your partner miserable trying to force something that isnt natural for you

If committing to one person isn’t for you, then that’s okay but when you get married you chose to commit to only him. There is zero reason to make him feel like he should be in an open relationship, when you married him vowing to be committed to only him. He’s doing what he’s supposed to. It’s okay if it’s not for you, I’d get out of the marriage & let him find someone who desires to be in an actual marriage, the kind he signed up for. It’s not fair… You both deserve to be happy but don’t hurt him further in the process for your own needs.

Well you’re already hurting him! Should have thought about that 6 months ago. Honestly go to therapy or leave. I truly believe those are your only options. Either you need to learn to be happy with just him, figure out if you’re poly, or maybe a therapist can help him wrap his mind around you going home with a lady of the evening. Either way a professional is needed, you’ve got some soul searching to do, and your husband needs to figure out how hard or soft his boundaries are. Your marriage is 100% threatened right now. Y’all have to decide how much it means to you before you’ve wasted too much of each other’s time.

I had the same feelings with an ex of mine. Honestly they never went away… I never cheated (im not shaming you for that.) but it was a struggle. I ended up leaving him because I was no longer attracted to him and craved attention from women. Those saying you sound more lesbian than bi are wrong. Being with a woman doesn’t make you a lesbian. Just like being with a man doesn’t make you straight. If you feel stronger towards women than men, but still are attracted to men, then thats cool. It can also be reversed. I suggest follow your heart. If you’re no longer into your man, then I’d leave.

I was the same spice up ur sex life and those urges will go away I’m bisexual but my husband doesn’t care if i be with other women we been together for 12 yrs only been w one other woman really don’t have any interest in bein w anyone else

Sounds like your lesbian & selfish.
Let him since you cheat on him, are not attracted & don’t enjoy the sex. Let another women love & appreciate him. He must support you financially since you seem to just need him more then want him

Maybe get you both a girlfriend? I am same way…in a sense. We are starting to date someone and see how it goes. Im more into men,but i am really attracted to women as well. Hubby is all on board with it. Lol. Male fantasy of more than one woman so what man wouldnt be? Have your cake and eat it to without breaking up your family. Dont want to share him,but ok with losing him doesnt make sense. Has to be one or the other. If that doesnt work…then leave him. Maybe you are more into women than men and just need to be with a woman if that doesnt work.

You need to be honest with yourself and what you want. If you are going to cheat then you should give your partner the respect by being honest and leaving. I do not believe a relationship can continue healthily after cheating occurs. I’ve been on both ends and I can tell you from experience it’s best to end it here. It’s clear he cannot give you what you need. If you are so desperate for something else that you break the trust you have in your relstionship…well, maybe you shouldn’t be in it. :confused:
