To all the bisexuals out there: once you have committed to a person, be it marriage, exclusive dating, etc, have you ever had feelings of regret in regards to your choice of gender?
For example, I married an excellent man and, despite the fact that we love each other enormously, communicate well, share interests and rarely fight, sometimes I still feel that maybe I would have been happier with a woman. There is no real reason (that I can detect) for this thought. Also, it's not purely sexual - I'm not just horny and wanting some woman in particular. Monogamous relationships with allowances for light play (not sex) with the occasional other partner are preferable for me, so I'm not just sad that I don't get to have sex with women anymore. It's kind of a yearning for the chance to have the same bond I have with my husband, but with a woman instead.
This feeling only appears every once in a while, but it hit me just recently and I'd rather talk about it than ignore it. Does anyone else experience something like this, to any degree? Has anyone ever acted on it and totally rearranged their life?
Oh, and I definitely don't mean for this thread to be a therapy session - just used a personal example to introduce the topic and draw out some comments/anecdotes.
