So it is not difficult to imagine the reluctance a bisexual man might feel to discuss this with his mate. I would think this reluctance would turn to fear if they are pretty straight living folks. If the wife has had limited exposure to those who live their lives with a "free spirited" attitude, his fear would include the absolute belief she lacked the foundation to even begin to deal with his bisexuality. And that as a result, she would be incapable of understanding, much less accepting of it. (And worse, would never view him in the same way ever again)
We think, if the communication gap is so wide, these folks shouldn't be married to each other. Since they are, they need to develop their communication. Fear has no place in a marriage, in our opinion, and the best way to face fear is head-on. He must tell his wife his "problem." ...or move to Paris.
