I’ve been straight as far as I can remember with some questioning, but the thought came to me. All I hang out with is straight people. My friends are straight, my fiancé is straight. But what if I’m bi and I like girls? What if I’m just “straight” because it’s the norm? Women are pretty and there’s a small chance I’d date one even if I’m not interested in dating women but what if that’s just heteronormativity and such. How do I even know if I actually am bi but it’s repressed? Or if I am straight?

    That’s a bit of a tough set of questions because the only one who can answer them is, well, you.

    Think of it this way. Let’s say your fiancé woke up tomorrow as a beautiful woman. Would you love her as much as now? Would you be willing to do all the things you do together now? Does the idea of that give you the ick, or does it sound pretty darn great? Have you ever looked at another woman and thought the kind of things you think about your fiancé?

    That’s maybe a good way to start, and if you feel comfortable with it try making friends with women who like women. If nothing else you’ll have friends with perspectives you wouldn’t otherwise have encountered.

    Good luck!
