coming out (tw // biphobia, slut shaming)

!! THIS IS A COMING OUT STORY AND THERE WILL BE BIPHOBIA! IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, PLEASE SKIP. !!

(a/n: if you are apart of the lgbt+ community, i love you so much and you are so valid!! i'm so proud of you! fuck those homophobes, transphobes, etc. the next time i see them i'm gonna flip them off and say "fuck you! i'm an asexual lesbian and i'm proud of it!" and i encourage you to do the same. remember i write these stories for the girls and the gays, that's it❤️)

today was the day. i was finally going to come out to colby. i've been bisexual for years but no one really knows. i've been wanting to come out but i've just been so scared. i know that i'm gonna tell him today. we've been dating for a while and i think he deserves to know. it's always terrified me. only people that are really close to me know. i am also scared because the last time i came out to a significant other.. it didn't go well.

** FLASHBACK ** (CONTAINS BIPHOBIA AND SLUT SHAMING!! YOU CAN SKIP AHEAD IF NECESSARY!!)
"hey jacob, can i talk to you??" "yeah what's up?" "well... i... i'm... i'm bisexual." "what? what do you mean??" "i'm bisexual. i'm attracted to both men and women and my preference on them varies." "no you're not." "i'm sorry???" "you're not bisexual. if you were you wouldn't be dating me." "did you not just hear what i said. i'm attracted to MEN AND women." "no you're not bisexual. you're just an attention seeker. you're so greedy. honestly just choose a fucking side! why do you want both so bad? what are you like a slut or something??" i was shocked. i can not believe he just said that. i was on the verge of tears. "you know what, FUCK YOU! get the fuck out of my house! we're done!" he got mad and left. god that was the worst.

** END OF FLASHBACK !! **
god, i hated that day so much. that's why i'm so scared. ok, i just have to get this over with. hopefully it'll go well. deep breaths.

"colby, can i talk to you??" "yep. whats up?" "so as you know we've been dating for a while..." "yeah...?" "and i thought it would be fair to tell you... well i also wanted to tell you.. that i'm uh.. i'm bisexual." "wait really?" "uhm yeah.." "well looks like i've got some more competition because there are some good looking girls here." i was shocked. i cant believe this. "wait so you're not mad or upset??" "mad?? why would i be mad?" "i don't know it's just .. the last time i came out to someone, it didn't go well." "baby, i would never be upset with you over that! if anything i'm glad that you're expressing yourself and that you trust me! i know that's a hard thing to do but just know you are so valid, loved, and accepted. i'm so so proud of you." i started crying. i have never had someone say that to me before. "hey, why are you crying?? it's ok." he pulled me in for a hug and i just cried my eyes out. "i love you so much. thank you." i said in a sad voice. "i love you more. now let's go to bed." i nodded my head. we laid down, cuddled, and fell asleep.
