    For fellow bisexuals, whoever your life partner ends up being (i.e. man or woman) does not change your orientation. If I marry a man, I'm still bisexual. If I marry a woman, yup still bisexual. Bi women who marry men are still bi, bi women who marry women are still bi. Same applies to bi men. The only "difference" is being in a dedicated opposite or same sex relationship.
    Edit: I didn't think this would get as many likes and replies as it did. I want to clarify that I never meant to insult Claudia and what label she believes fits her personally.

    • @ligeialovelace
      @ligeialovelace 3 ปีที่แล้ว +134

      Yes! And statistically we are more likely to marry someone of a different gender than us, since there are a lot more straight people than there are gay. So it's common for us to end up in a "straight" relationship, but that doesn't make our orientation any less valid.

    For anyone asking about what Claudia means when she says “she sees herself as a lesbian because she’s in a relationship with a woman”, here’s my take: some people just don’t worry that much about how to label their sexualities. Claudia is clearly not that attached to one or the other label, so she just uses what feels right in the moment. That’s totally ok to do, both for her and for you, if that’s how you feel! Your sexuality can be fluid, and so can your labels.

    My advice to everybody:
    (1) Do not get married until you are either capable of supporting yourself or have a network that will support you. It means that you'll be okay even if the relationship doesn't work out while also making the relationship more stable and healthy. Marriage is a legally binding contract, being able to support yourself means you don't have to worry too much about not being able to get out of it.
    (2) Let a relationship stand the test of time before you get married . You need that time in order to face challenges together so you can see whether you're actually a good match or not, to see whether you can build your lives together well or not.
    (3) Make sure to talk about the things that you really want out of life. Marriage isn't just about love, it's about building your futures together. You need to make sure that you are on the same page, that you'll both be able to achieve the things that truly matter to you. Do you want to stay close to your parents? Do you want to have children? Do you want to be involved in politics? Do you want to be a stripper? No matter what they are, make sure that you communicate those things to each other.

    • @missvioletnightchild2515
      @missvioletnightchild2515 3 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      I'd add: live together before you get married. You won't know if your lifestyles are compatible otherwise.

    • @katelynnbray4314
      @katelynnbray4314 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      And don’t be afraid to leave if you see red flags both before and after marriage. I did not realize that I was codependent to someone who was emotionally abusive and unfaithful until after we had been together for six years and were married. It is okay to leave. Learn what self care you need. Learn what you enjoy doing and work on communicating on difficult topics. Someone who does not want to talk through hard topics with you and is condescending of you or treats you without respect does not deserve your time. You will be your true lifetime companion and knowing how to care for yourself and communicate your needs will help you have a better eye for a kind and healthy partnership with someone who is as committed as you to clear communication and support.

    The 14 year old thinking they need to be in a relationship. Nope. Being in a relationship to avoid feeling lonely, is unhealthy. Work on being happy by yourself, because you will just be using someone as a way to stave off feeling alone.
    Also, they are 14 years old. For goodness sake, what sort of meaningful relationship could you have at 14? You're going to be a different person in a year, so wasting your time on trying to maintain a relationship instead of enjoying your friendships and familial relationships, is not worth it.
    Sure, some people met their future husband/wife when they were young, but forcing a meeting isn't the way to go.
    Who you want in a partner at 14, will be completely different by age 18+ and just stay away from online forums because it is riddled with paedophiles, preying on lonely children.

      @aricarly 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      So true! I was 14 not so long ago (well, almost a decade ago) and kids change so much in a matter of months that is pointless. While there might be some very mature 14-year-olds who can make their relationship work out, they are rare, so rare that of all the people I know just one couple remains together from around that time. I would advise kids that age to still enjoy being kids, childhood is so short anyway, and time pass by so fast, that in a blink of an eye they would find themselves being 22.

    • @myaimagines5475
      @myaimagines5475 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      As pointless as it may seem because hormones and emotions are so high and fleeting at this age, I really don’t think it’s pointless. I think it’s a learning experience. It helps kids grow to understand love better, understand themselves and others.. Obviously, if you’re only in relationships to stave off feeling lonely, that isn’t okay, nor is it fair to your partner at all. There are a lot of ways to date wrong. But being in a relationship when you’re young is only silly if you act like things are never going to change, you’re never going to want other things and the first love will always be “the one,” which is >>extremely

    • @mcxlii
      @mcxlii 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I personally believe, that you shouldn't have a relationship with anyone if you want one. Only once you are able to be happy on your own you can really have a good relationship that isn't toxic. I don't have too much of a problem with dating at 14 I guess, but don't think of it as something that will last? And having good frienships should definitely be a priority

    A message to the lonely 14 y/o: at your age I felt the same. I was lonely. I was incredibly sexually frustrated. I was insecure about how I looked. I was so nervous and awkward talking to boys. But I luckily had my older sister as a role model. She was 18, coming into her beauty, had lots of friends, zero relationships, and I could remember that she was just as awkward at 14. That's when I had a realization, I could be patient. I was only 14, I didn't have to be an adult yet, look like an adult yet, have adult relationships yet, it would come. I didn't have to force it.
    My patience was rewarded when luck struck again and I met my future husband at 16. As serious as we were at 16, we were still patient. We've been together almost 9 years, engaged and co-habitating for only 1, COVID cancelled our wedding and I'm still not in a rush to get married. We have our whole lives together.

      That was really baffling to me. At 14, the last thing on my mind was having a “partner” - much less at 12!!! Are kids really worrying about being single when they’ve barely hit puberty?
      I haven’t been in a relationship for *twenty*-two years and sure, I would like a partner now that I’m in my 40s. But this person is literally a child. That certainly does not mean they can’t be lonely, or don’t need advice on how to deal with loneliness, but a person would have to be much MUCH older for my assumed solution to loneliness to even include a romantic partnership, much less for that to be the only solution. This makes me sad.

    Honestly, I'm 20 and I know that at 17 I had no idea of how my life was going to turn out and how my relationships would evolve or end over time, and I'm sure the feeling will be the same when I'm older.
    I dated a girl for a year (17-18 y.o.) and we saw a future together quite clearly for most of that relationship. About two months before we broke up some personal mental health stuff came up that made me realize that us being romantically involved was actually bad for both of us (a mix of being too dependent and feeling the need to almost babysit the other). It was my first real love and the first time that I imagined being with someone long term, and I think those feelings can cloud your judgement and make you stay in a toxic situation.
    To be happy in the long term you must either work towards solving your individual and relationship issues, or realize that you're simply not good for each other in that sense. My ex and I are friends today, but we both went through some hardships because of the other and had to deal with a lot of resentment and anger before accepting that this was the best decision.

      I can totally relate to your story! I think it's good advice to get engaged, enjoy each other proudly - and take good time before you exchange the rings and all that. Generally, I think that it is worth being a relationship for a while (maybe even a few years - in my experience) before you reach that level of commitment. When you are ready, there is still time :)

      I'm almost 20, and I've been with the same girl since right after I turned 16, and had known her since I was 14. Sometimes, when you know, you know. Everyone matures differently. I myself had to grow up pretty quickly, and in many ways, so did she. Our relationship feels so natural, and while we have our disagreements, we always communicate to resolve them. We made it through COVID, long-distance, hateful parents, etc. and genuinely have helped each other to become better people. I think it's always a case by case basis. I disagree with telling people they need more experience, just as I disagree with telling people they should have none as an absolute. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. It's different for everyone.

    • @millacabral9475

      @@lexvt3551 for sure, it depends a lot on the couple. With my ex I saw myself happily staying with her for a few more years but I knew that fundamentally we weren't compatible enough to be together "forever". We had different life goals and dreams, and you can't compromise on everything. What I will defend though is that it's wiser to live with your s.o. for at least 6 months or a year before making a serious legal commitment to stay together. I know plenty of couples who were super solid until they started living together or sharing responsibilities, and then they realized there was a lot of work to do to reach a place where they were both satisfied with each other's work. It can even be a question of standards sometimes; some people are used to a very clean and neat environment while others don't care that much, and it can create a lot of conflict. Obviously if you have good communication and really care and respect each other things should work out, but sometimes you come to realize that you're stressed and upset more often than you're happy and relaxed, and that changing things will be very difficult.
      I know some couples can jump straight from high school romance to getting married and living together, but I'm just saying it's a gamble, and it would be wiser to really depend on each other and spend that time living together before tying the knot.

    I think with any marriage, not just ones where the people are young, you should give it time before the wedding. The looming commitment of an engagement can really make you think about your relationship. Just don't rush it. My opinion is if you truly believe they are the one, another year before marriage won't change your mind. I was with my ex fiance from the time I was 14 until I was 19, and we had been engaged for almost a year when I left because I realized that wasn't what I wanted from my life and my future, among much darker reasons.

      Don't know if you were looking for the answers to these questions or just making a clarification statement. But thought it could be useful to someone scrolling through to provide my prospective.
      Without communicating with them, I don't think you can and even then it's not a sure thing. Sexuality is diverse and complex and different people have different levels of self-awareness and ability to deeply analyze themselves. As a bi, pan, demisexual I can be attracted to different aspects of different people in varying degrees that can also change over time. A person can be "intriguing" all the way to "I fantasize about them without having ever talked to them". Like if a stranger, acquaintance, or even friend asked me if I liked them and why, I only maybe could give them a concrete answer and it would only really hold value for that present moment, that instantaneous chunk of time. One month from that point could be a completely different story and not everyone can or wants to predict what their future self will feel. Though some people definitely have a type and have consistently the same interests over time I couldn't confidently say that it applies to majority of people.

    • @conlon4332
      @conlon4332 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@marielan91 I mean, it was just a clarification, but that was very interesting to hear your perspective, so thank you. As you've told me so much about what you're like, I thought I'd return the favour.
      I'm a lesbian, by the way, so only attracted to girls. I would say I do have a type with appearance, but it also is affected a lot by what they're like as a person, which I also have a type with. So, when I meet someone, I might think they're pretty, and be quite attracted to them, but as I get to know them more I can become more attracted to them or it can go away. But once I know them, I don't think it changes unless they change (personality or appearance).
      Now, that being said (about my sexuality), there are exceptions, but they're rare enough I don't feel my label doesn't suit me. If a boy's personality is just what I'm attracted to, I can be attracted to that, but it not go along with an attraction to their appearance like it always does with girls, which is weird. With girls, if I'm attracted to them as I get to know them, even if I wasn't at all to begin with when just going off their appearance, I then become attracted to their appearance; it goes hand in hand; but not with boys. Odd, but the whole thing is extremely rare (it's only happened to me a couple of times).
      Other times, long story short, is if they sorta look like a girl. A great example for both of these is Freddie from the early seasons of iCarly. (BTW I'm attracted to Carly too, in a more normal way.)
