The Journey of a Headache Slayer

I'm so glad you got to finally tell this part of your story! What a journey it is and you're taking the initial steps of it. It's been so wonderful to know and have met in real life (IRL as you put it) you and your husband and even kids. I love you all!

I'm hardly one to give people conclusions for questions they have - I'm more likely to pose more questions or try to reframe the perspective. That's what the journey is about - asking questions to the Lord as we realize that He indeed is walking with us, giving us direction and giving us perspective.

As you consider the bi-curious questions, I think it's wonderful (and important) that you are seeing through the lens of the wonderful loving marriage that the Lord has blessed you with with your husband. Remember that being aware of some of the bi-curiousness is totally okay because it is just continuing to be authentic about a part of yourself. At the same time, the love (and attraction) that you have for your husband is present too and so the curiousness doesn't need to catalyze any kind of a decision, per se.

In what ever way that we identify ourselves - gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, bi-curious, or whatever - as people of faith, our identity is in Christ. And so that means we are primarily men and women of God. Everything else along the journey just grows us as individuals to love one another better.

I love you.

Hope that helps, my friend!

This helps, as always :) One of the reasons I'm so blessed to have you in my life.
I know this is going to be an ongoing journey for me. I know God has a plan for even this, it's my job to be patient. Which I'm not good at LOL.
I guess, simply, that I thought I needed to put a label on what I'm feeling, and unable to go through the motions, it's frustrating & confusing me.
Looking forward to more input from everyone!
Confused, but loved ;)

Thanks for sharing your story. I don't have any words of wisdom to offer, but I suggest (if you haven't already) joining a support group, maybe even with your husband. Something I've found indispensable in my journey is not only having close friends and allies, but also being able to share stories and thoughts and experiences and feelings in a moderated group with no strings attached. I've had the toughest time finding a good support group in that vein, but it's been worth it. That's my two cents. Much love,
Joy
