how and when did you find out your sexuality? (lemmy.ml)

Here's my story.

Sometime in April a guy who was a friend of a friend started touching me, yes I know I should have not let this happen but I found him kinda hot so I let him touch me. Started questioning when I got home. I then developed a slight crush on him but got over it after a few weeks. At this point I figured out that I might be bi. I'm currently questioning what label of bi I fall under. I might be omni or just plain old bi

I should have handled the situation differently but it caused me to learn about myself.

Sometimes it feels like I’m stealing a label because I never got the chance to explore before I was married, and I’m not about to cheat on my wife.

I'd say that eg. pansexuality is just something you are instead of something that you acquire by acting on it, so I wouldn't worry about "stealing".

But regarding exploration, I guess my question is whether you would like to explore the other aspects of your sexuality?

I would like to, but I love my spouse more than I want to have sex with other people.

Understandably if your partner wouldn't be fine with it that'd be totally understandable, but those two don't necessarily have to be exclusive though. Have you talked about the subject?
