Chad Pearce

I live in San Diego, CA. I first came here when I was in the Marine Corps. Attended boot camp here then was stationed here in 2002 after I completed combat training, and avionics school for CH-53E helicopters. Was deployed to Iraq 3 times. Still have a few mental issues from that but are under control for most part. I’m pretty much a loner but still love to connect with people. I’m not super close with my family. My parents divorced when I was 2. My dad then moved to Florida from Louisiana where I was born and I lived with my maternal grandmother and mom. My mom was heavy into drugs and alcohol then and really wasn’t in the picture too much. I am an only child. The three of us moved to Texas in 1988 when I was 5 almost 6. I witnessed my mom get arrested for the drugs and alcohol and also witnessed my mom being in a coma from being hit by a drunk driver. She mostly recovered from that but got back into drugs and alcohol. The grandmother that raised Mr passed away in 1997. My mom remarried that same year but only to give me a place to live. I was a great student throughout my school years even though I was dealing with my mom’s problems. My step-dad worked in the petroleum industry on drilling rigs so other than them giving me a place to live and having food in the house, they weren’t really around so I was pretty much living alone. I’m a pretty easy going guy. More Spiritual than religious but do believe in God. I enjoy being outside. Not really into many sports but I do like camping, hiking/ backpacking, fishing, going to the beach especially Blacks Beach (the local nude beach). I also love music, movies, dancing, I’m a pretty good cook also. For a hobby I make bead jewelry including bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. I’m very passionate in what ever I get involved with. Also I’ve discovered that I’m not really monogamous but not really polyamouous either.

It doesn’t completely define me just naturally a part of who I am. I say naturally because I feel like I was born this way.

Know that we exist and to not judge us entirely by our sexual orientation. Everyone is an individual that has various characteristics that make us who we are and sexual orientation is just a part of that equation.

I knew from an early age that I felt the same way about guys and girls but really didn’t learn to accept it until 2009. That’s when I finally started coming out as bisexual.

Having to deal with peoples closed minds about bisexuality, but more than that, being in between monogamy and polyamory in the dating and relationship category.

Everything

Some people are ok with it. Some of my family is supportive such as some cousins and aunts and uncles. My closest friends are perfectly ok with it. My ex-wife couldn’t accept it at all which is the main reason why we split. My mom has told me flat out that if I have a male partner, to not bring him to her house. Not really sure how my dad is going to react. I’ll update this when I finally tell him.
