Comments on: Can a Lesbian and a Bisexual Woman Have a Good Long-Term Relationship? http://thelesbianlifestyle.com/2010/03/13/can-a-lesbian-and-a-bisexual-woman-have-a-good-long-term-relationship/ Thu, 09 Sep 2010 13:17:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: A Nonny Lass http://thelesbianlifestyle.com/2010/03/13/can-a-lesbian-and-a-bisexual-woman-have-a-good-long-term-relationship/comment-page-1/#comment-6152 A Nonny Lass Thu, 01 Apr 2010 20:46:09 +0000 http://thelesbianlifestyle.com/?p=6090#comment-6152 I have to agree with butchmama on this one. As a closeted bisexual in a lesbian relationship (the metrics of that alone are complicated, trust me), it does suck royal __________ (insert preferred gentalia reference here)to have our sexual attractions labeled in any way as negative. We don't necessarily swing back and forth between what we want anymore than the next letter of GLBT, so why call that out as a complication WE invoke? To me, the real perpetrators of a so-called "complication" that could arise would be from the lesbian partner. Just my thoughts.....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6152','A Nonny Lass'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('6152','A Nonny Lass','I have to agree with butchmama on this one.

ALL people may decide they're not getting what they want from a particular relationship, this is NOT particular to bisexuals. I think you should have found more of an expert on the topic of bisexual studies (Robin Ochs comes to mind) to have as your guest blogger, and this would have been a much more informative post. OR, what about a bisexual and a lesbian who are in a relationship? This just came off as pretty shallow and that quote was quite offensive.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6119','butchmama'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('6119','butchmama','I don\'t know about this post, the following quote seemed pretty offensive to me:\r\n\r\n\"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\"\r\n\r\nHow is this particular to bisexual women?

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.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6101','Adriana Kraft'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('6101','Adriana Kraft','Very well said - and, it\'s no different than if a bisexual woman has a long term relationsip with a heterosexual man.
