For those of you who identify as bisexual, have you had equally long relationships with same sex as you have with opposite sex partners?

No, but it was always harder to find women who wanted to go out with me. Men are the low hanging fruit.

Yep, Plei is me. I think the other huge factor, though, is my age. When I was in high school and college, it was not okay to be bisexual, let alone gay. It was really hard to find anyone who was bi (or bi-friendly, because that isn't common among women who like women), so I ended up spending a lot of time lusting and longing after women I'd fallen for without having a clue how to do anything about it. Men were easy and available, and I though they were cute too, so...I went with that. But I've been in love with women, no doubt, and I suspect if I hadn't met ND when I did, I would have pursued women more actively than men when I was ready to date again. It's a very different world than it was when I was younger.

We have a very unusual situation, we have a neighbor that is Indian and his wife is black.

And being the place for all the kids to hang, will make a huge difference even if Owen is a it different It would be hard for me, but I would make my house very welcoming if I had kids. I think it will make a world of difference. I'll send you any extra energy I have

Also, I went to the doctor today, who tested me for strep and mono and sent me home with antibiotics just in case. It's probably a virus, but we won't know for sure until Monday. In the meantime, I'm supposed to rest and have fluids. Halloween is going to be a bit of a bummer this year. On the positive side, my darling ND went out and bought a ton of groceries so I have food to eat without leaving the house. He's stuck working most of the weekend, but I have food! This is good.

What a sweetie.

Hey! You should marry him!

Fingers crossed for health, Kristin!

smonster, I don't seem to be a friend of you or amyth - may I ask what your FB handle is?

Good ND!

I will never forget when DH and I both caught strep - very badly - back in CT. We had to have someone bring us groceries. Glad we re where we are now. We have both neighbors and paid services that can help, without it feeling like an imposition.

I met a black woman this evening, whose husband is Japanese. She showed me a photo of their daughter who, next to Buffista sprog, may be the cutest child I've ever seen.

I've almost never seen white guy/black woman

I've done counseling for a couple of this configuration. Interestingly, they just wanted stronger communication skills and were not nearly as conflicted as the conversely mixed couples I have worked with. That means nothing except that these two individuals were wise and immensely respectful of each other.

I've seen more white men/black women couples on Capitol Hill than anywhere else.

Not shockingly, I agree with the age thing (us being about the same age and all). And the rest of it. Except the meeting ND part. On account of being married and shit by then. But if I *were* single, I don't think I'd be going after The Mens.

Let's just say, I was thinking lustful thoughts about the current CoS a while back, and my brain kept giving him lady parts.

I think I know two white man/black woman couples. At least, two that I can think of right now. I might know more. One of them, the husband is an old friend of my dad's, and they've got five kids, the oldest two about my age. The other one, I've only met the wife, but I know that her husband is white.

But if I *were* single, I don't think I'd be going after The Mens.

Yep, this. But it all worked out since we were lucky enough to find such awesome boys.

Also, Aims, I just posted something for you in Facebook.
