Married and struggling with bisexuality

[EvvMatt]

Hi. I'm new to the forum and coming here because I need help. I'm a married man. Happily married and have been for almost 20 years. But for the last 5 years I have struggled with a temptation towards bisexuality. I have found myself more and more tempted to engage in bisexual affairs and encounters. To this point I have not done anything, but I know that if I don't change soon, it is only a matter of time before I do.

Any help would be appreciated, especially from anyone who has dealt with this too.

You're not alone, brother.
Remember, temptation isn't a sin... but if you dwell on it and let it become overwhelming, it is harder to resist.
I'd recommend making yourself a list of distractions, things you can do when you start to think about men, which will 'take your mind off it'.
And don't put yourself in the way of temptation. If you are home with your wife, or out with a group of friends it's hard to engage in any kind of homosexual relationship - if you are in a bar alone it is easier. Try to make the decision before you feel tempted, it's easier then!

You are in my prayers

Accepting the inevitability is a wrong position to be coming from. You are to focus on being the husband of your wife and consider how best to do that, not on allowing a pattern of thought to take root and develop.
