I am dating someone who is bi: Should I be worried they cheat with a man?

As a bisexual woman, please let me educate. The vast majority of bisexuals (men or women) do not have multiple partners at once. For instance, I have been happily married to a man for almost 11 years, but when I was dating, I dated those I felt a connection and compatibility with, regardless of their gender.

All of that being said, do you think he is the type to cheat on you, or are you perhaps projecting due to stereotypes and misinformation you have regarding what being bisexual actually is? If it is the former, I would evaluate whether you want to continue a relationship with someone who you feel would cheat on you with another person. If itā€™s the latter, I would have REAL conversations, both with your boyfriend and your internal monologue.

NO. My husband thinks the exact same thing about me just because Iā€™m bi. If my friends that are girls give me compliments, he thinks there are ulterior motives to it. Being bisexual does NOT mean you are a cheater or will cheat with the same sex if you have a partner of the opposite sex. The two have no correlation whatsoever. Cheaters cheat. Iā€™m bisexual and have never cheated. The only people that I have ever known to cheat are mainly straight :tipping_hand_woman:t3:

Imma just be honest. With the way you worded this, it IS the only dumb question that I have seen on here

This was my friend he ended up saying he was CONFUSED ABOUT HIMSELF. It s a coin toss on what he wants at any given time. So no they arenā€™t dating

So, I had to come here to learn ima cheat, have diseases, :thinking: I canā€™t wait for a different post to learn more about me!

So because heā€™s Bi it makes him a cheater?

Jesus your views are warped.

Has he ever been with a man? If not I would say maybe itā€™s less likely to last as heā€™ll probably want / need to explore that part of his sexuality at some point?

But no it wonā€™t make him a cheater. Iā€™d say if heā€™s already been with men and women and is choosing to be with you itā€™s no different than dating anyone else :slight_smile:

Bisexual but wanted to try dating? What does that even mean? Also bi sexual doesnā€™t mean raging sex addict, but you should pass and save him a lot of trouble and take some time to educate yourself about the LGBTQIA community

Tbh it sounds like you donā€™t really understand what being bi meansā€¦ he can be attracted to whoever he wants but if he is committing to a relationship with you then there should be no cheating and you guys should both discuss that and other boundaries like adults. If youā€™re worried heā€™ll cheat on you with a man thatā€™s just you being insecure IMO. Do you think heā€™d cheat with a woman? If not then you need to reevaluate the way you see LGBQT+ people. And if you do think heā€™d cheat with another woman then best not to go down that road.

I think people worry about this not as a slam on bi people but rather the pool of potential sexual partners may be more abundant because they go both ways.

Key word ā€¦try ā€¦meaning he actually likes men better ā€¦so yes

He wants to try dating ?.. you?! He wants to try it out with you. Maybe he prefers men now and itā€™s been a while since a woman, so he wants to try dating you.

Just because someone likes whomever they like doesnā€™t mean theyā€™re more likely to cheat.

Yup men be on those dating apps looking for other men trying to hide his desires ā€¦ i could not date a man whose bi cause id always feel like im competing with men ā€¦ but thatā€™s my feelings not yoursā€¦usually these men will give into their desires cause they feel compelled to try it ā€¦so be prepared in case you find out heā€™s done somethingā€¦

If you have to ask than the answer is,

being bisexual doesnt make you a cheater. the " i wanna try dating" part that he said to you makes me feel like hes unsure of what he wants and your the social experiment for him. if your looking for something casual then go for it but if you want something serious id ask him to clarify what he meant by saying " he wants to try dating"

You are not a social experiment. Let him try on someone else.

I donā€™t think sexual preference has anything to do with infidelity, however, before you jump into the relationship you two need to communicate wants, needs, expectations, and boundaries and see if you are both capable of respecting each other. If not, remain friends and call it good. Itā€™s better to find out before hand if someone is testing the waters and not wanting something monogamous in the long term, than investing your heart and soul into something and later on learning they wanted to swing.

He chose to date you, if heā€™s going to cheat he will no matter what their sex is. Bisexual isnā€™t code for cheater though. Be clear about what you both want at all times and it shouldnā€™t be a problem unless heā€™s just a jerk. If you donā€™t think you can trust him then you donā€™t need to be dating, period.

Being bisexual doesnā€™t make you an automatic cheater. We do have self control and can be as faithful as those in straight cisgender relationships.

Only if youā€™re worried that he might also cheat with a woman. Bisexuals donā€™t necessarily cheat anymore than heterosexualsā€¦ theyā€™re just attracted to males and females and not necessarily at the same time.

If they gonna cheat, they gonna cheat. Bi or not.

The issue here isnā€™t his sexuality, itā€™s your insecurity. If youā€™re questioning his integrity this early then you are setting you both up to fail and it isnā€™t going to work.

Not any more or less than he would cheat on you with a girlā€¦being bi doesnā€™t mean you wish you had the thing that you donā€™t currently receive (genitally speaking)

Itā€™s like people think that bi folk have more to want, when actually itā€™s the same because they donā€™t want 100% of the people because they have some standards.

If you canā€™t trust him around men because you think he wants the Dā€¦then either you have trust issues or he hasnā€™t given you cause to trust himā€¦either way get out lol

I wouldnā€™t say the chances of him cheating are any higher than if he was heterosexualā€¦ So I wouldnā€™t worry any more than you normally would (which obviously you shouldnā€™t be in a relationship if youā€™re worried about them cheating)

Wow maybe I was silly Iā€™m thinking that bisexual stigma has been concluded as nonesense :woman_facepalming:t2: as someone who is bisexual, no, you should not worry about them cheating just because they are bi, and thatā€™s really harmful. A personā€™s sexuality is not going to determine if they will be more likely to cheat on you, and maybe you need to have a conversation with your partner.

Loyalty, love and respect is what keeps you from cheating, not your sexuality. Thereā€™s no need to worry based on the fact that heā€™s bisexual alone x

Have the conversation on whether or not youā€™re monogamous. If heā€™s monogamous, it shouldnā€™t be an issue if heā€™s bisexual. Right?

Men have sex in parks and their cars. Heā€™s definitely gonna cheat and I would be worried what he sexually catches that could harm you. Heā€™s just saying heā€™s bisexual. Trust me Iā€™m a gay female that went with bisexual women. They always went back to men

Try not to worry about cheating. The past can haunts us. But just try to enjoy your time together. If yā€™all end up falling for each other then thereā€™s a good chance he is a good man and wonā€™t cheat.

Iā€™m bi. If a person cheats they cheat. Itā€™s got absolutely nothing to do with being straight or bi. Absolutely nothing. If youā€™ve been cheated on in the past and carry that over and put that blame on him, which sadly a lot do that, youā€™ll ruin your relationship. If you have traumas to heal from then heal from them before you do anything.

A cheater will cheat regarless of the sex. Just because someone is bi does not mean they will cheat, anyone can choose to be faithful.
Also if your already queationing and more worried about him with a man and canā€™t trust him, cut your losses now.

Regardless I wouldnā€™t hook up with him unless it was an exclusive relationship. Youā€™re putting your health at risk.

If 50% of people are men and 50% are womenā€¦she is likely fearful if he is into both that there is more of a chance. More temptation. Thatā€™s a legit concern till they build trust.

I would make him get checked out before I was intimate with him. There are health risks. Also, often homosectuals do not want to say they are gay. So they pass themselves off as bisexual.

There is nothing to worry about if someone is bisexual.
If you are worrying so much to post this then the insecurities are within yourself.

Ask him if he is also poly, ask him if you have something to worry about, if you are monogamous let him know from the start.
