I’m a bisexual male born in the Netherlands, now living in Belgium. Divorced, father of three beautiful daughters, one of them is bisexual too. Three years ago I met this beautiful woman, who doesn’t concern about my bisexuality. She accepts me as I am. To be loved as the person who I am feels SUPER! I owe her so much for that. Not only for that, for all the love she gives me end let me give to her. It’s been a long while since I felt that way. rnKnowing being bisexual was hard, very hard. I had some terrible (10 to 15) years after that.

It means different things. Hard work many times, to explain to other people. It’s also hard to notice the excludity in the LGBT community. But it also gives a lot. The opportunity to be able to love people without looking for their gender. To meet other bisexuals often means to meet more open minded people than the average ones. rnSo despite the trouble I had to go through for many years and the hard work (still) in the LGBT community, I am happy to be who and what I am.

The world needs to know that bisexuality exists. And that average bisexuals do NOT – I repeat do NOT – have sex with everyone. Bisexuals are like hetero- and homsexuals. Some do have sex with "everyone" and most don’t. So, bisexuals are like other people. They just have the opportunity to be able to love men and women.

My path wasn’t an easy one. My marriage broke because of it. I got in to a depression for many years. But my children still supported me. What was very important and probably helped saving my life. There been some moments… rnIt needs a lot of reading, talking and thinking after discovering that you’re different. To understand and accept that.

To be not accepted in the LGBT community.

It makes your mind free. You’re able to think outside the lines.

I lost some "friends".
