Lesbians v's Bi

April 04 2011

Hi Girls ; I have a bit of a concern with my 18 year old daughter. She is bi-sexual and is now in a relationship with a lesbian! I met the girl last night and she seems nice but, my concern is...could a lesbian handle going out with a bisexual girl that likes boys more than she likes girls? Could this potentially end bad for my daughter? < I am not judging...I am just concerned for my girl! xFunlovingx

    it would be like a straight woman going out with a bi guy they work, so i dont see why your daughters wouldnt it all depends like Krissy said on their communication and openness like all relationships, if you have that then your half way there lol good luck to your daughter hun mwaa roxxy

    Just so u know.. lesbians dont generally stick with bi's because they are classed as "easy" in the gay community. Not all obviously but in general. Just let it be tho...

    With any relationship, straight, gay or any other kind. I am sorry but there are some hurts your children need to do alone. All you can be is supportive and there if things do go wrong. This is all part of the growing up and I find that the kids today are way more open about thier sexuality and exploring same sex relationships. We worry about our kids all the time and I know, all the worry in the world can not stop a relationship breakdown nor make one last. She will find her own way.

    Well....THAT lasted long hahaha! The ink wasn't even dry on here and it's over! Lol. Little Miss 18 comes home last night and says, I broke up with her. I said, why....she said, because I only met her last week and she already said she loved me but we are going to get to know each other more...IN THE MEANTIME my daughter is texting with another girl HAHAHAHA! Gotta love teenagers! < Thanks for your help everyone, I guess that what really worried me was that this girl was her first lesbian gf as the first one was bi like my daughter. < I get where you are coming from Kate completely....and guess that was part of my concern too, if a lesbian can really handle going out with a bi girl! My daughter was really hurt by her first gf and I guess as a mother I was worried that it would happen again as my daughter took it bad! But then again they were best friends from Grade 4, so I think it is the friendship she misses more than the relationship part. < Rose, I can see where you are coming from too. Sigh, 18 year olds hey...what's a mum to do lol! < Fiona I do allow my daughter to make her own mistakes, but I like to teach her to take the high road in how she treats people..so I do give her alot of advice on that! I wasn't impressed that she broke up with this girl on FaceBook (although it was Inboxed privately), same as I wasn't impressed when she broke up with her boyfriend by text! Grrrr too much technology these days! xFunlovingx

    I dated a lesbian for 18 months, and i am bi-sexual (more into guys than girls, like your daughter) There is nothing to worry about on your daughter's behalf, it is more so the lesbians that get their little hearts broken by these bi girlies that come into their lives and then step back out again (more often than not, for a male) Describing yourself as a bi-sexual, especially to a lesbian, is sometimes scary.. As you get treated differently and sometimes lesbians are wary, as they should be i guess!! lol. But i did the wrong thing, and told my girlfriend that i wasnt interested in men anymore, just women (well, just HER) and then in the end u cant fight nature and im now with a male... Just tell her to be true to herself, and any female she gets involved with... Nat x

    Despite their seeming maturity, 18 year olds are still very young and experimenting with their sexuality is all a part of discovering who they are and what they can be. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Just make sure you keep the tissues handy!

I have told my daughter to be true to herself and to all involved! I even told her to beware of the men that are too keen on her being bi and will only be interested in a 3sum! I am such a caring mum lol! The lesbian that my daughter was seeing used to be a "cutter" and is such a sensitive old soul, that is what made me so angry at my daughter breaking up with her over Facebook! I told her to treat people with respect and if she was too scared to break it off to someones face to bring them here while I am here and to talk to them in the kitchen...anything beats being cold hearted or too chicken that you need to do it via Facebook or text! Maybe I am too harsh, I don't know...but that is just me and I remember it took me years to get over a guy that up and left with without a word of goodbye. It is not a good feeling and I would hate for it to happen to anyone! xFunlovingx

When you are over all your heartbreaks with love ...you have to put up with their broken hearts or hearts that they are breaking! xFunlovingx

    To have a mother that cares. Its the best thing any daughter could ask for! Im not bi or anything but i just wanted to say that you remind me a lot of my mum in the way you bring up your children and i commend you for that :-) i recently had a baby :-D his father and i were together for 4.5yrs and he up and left 2 weeks before i had my son. My mum was there the whole time for me through the very rocky relationship but as much as she wanted to tie me up in a basement to keep me away from him she knew she had to let me get hurt and learn some very hard but great life lessons. I am truly thankful for what my mum did for me even though it killed her to watch it happen. I will never forget that. Your daughter will appreciate everything in the long run. She knows you care. Your only young once :-) go for it!
