Can a Lesbian and a Bisexual Woman Have a Good Long-Term Relationship?
The easiest answer to this question is “Yes.” And yes, there are probably going to be some complications along the way, but isn’t this the same in just about every relationship – lesbian or heterosexual? All relationships have their little ups and downs, and complications arise all the time, no matter who you are.
If you are a lesbian and are finding yourself falling in love with a bisexual woman, her attraction to men could become a complication. Be sure to keep an open line of communication in case she needs to discuss with you any changing feelings she may be having in regard to her sexuality, as there may come a time when she decides she is not getting what she needs from being in a lesbian relationship, and may want to try dating men again. Openly discussing such feelings before it’s too late may help strengthen your relationship.
Of course, even if she is deeply in love with you, she is always going to be attracted to men, and you need to accept this. It is only natural to be attracted to other people when you are in a relationship, and the same goes for you as well. You are going to be attracted to other women. For both of you, the key is simply not to act on this attraction.
There are going to be other complications as well. For instance, many of her friends and family members will probably question her decision to date you, especially if she has never been involved with another woman. The two of you will have to deal with this together and let everyone know that you are in love and serious about your relationship and your commitment to each other.
As long as you are both in love, you are going to be able to build a good, long-term relationship that will fulfill both of you. Yes, she may be bisexual, but if she truly wants to be with you, heart and soul, you need to trust the fact that she loves you and isn’t going to leave you for a man as if you were just an “experiment”. Bisexual or not, true love is a bond that simply cannot be broken.

Very well said – and, it’s no different than if a bisexual woman has a long term relationsip with a heterosexual man. Committed partners will always epxerience attraction for other persons. If communication is open and trust and commitment remain high, this should pose no problem. Plus, some of the time, they can admire the same third party together.
