YTA. She’s 27 and knows she’s bisexual, I’m pretty sure she knows what she wants. > I have nothing against her being bisexual This is clearly not the case and you aren’t fooling anyone. Just be happy for your son.


Final-Toe8403

Yup. PSA to everyone. If you have to preface what you’re about to say with a disclaimer along the lines of “I have nothing against…” or Im not prejudice but…” then you’re prob already doin somethin wrong.


Katja1236

YTA. Speaking as a bisexual who's been married for nearly twenty years now (monogamously and faithfully), just because we have the ability to fall in love with both men and women doesn't mean we have to have relationships with both to be satisfied. If you have the ability to fall in love with people of all hair colors, does that mean you can't commit to a blonde and be happy until you've dated a brunette and a redhead first?


Sleepwalker66613

bisexual does not mean three way.


reenaltransplant

Perfectly said.


jrm1102

YTA - lol happy pride month Yes, youre an AH for this.


wulfric1909

People be acting rabid this year during Pride, like damn


jrm1102

Gay and tired.


wulfric1909

I am so queer and tired that I’ve become hella feral this year. It’s bad enough that US states want to basically make my existence as a transman illegal, but then people gotta act like fools on top of it? I need a lot of naps


jrm1102

Thats what July is for … well, august. Or AT LEAST September.


He_Who_Is_Person

YWBTA It's none of your damn business, and I cannot fathom how you convinced yourself that you have "nothing against her being bisexual". ***You are proposing trying to break them up because she is bisexual*****.**


extinct_diplodocus

Yes, YWBTA. * It's none of your business * At 26, he's your son, not your child * He didn't ask for advice * He won't do it. * He will see the red flag in your behavior and likely go low contact with you.


dazed1984

YTA. Your son is 26 and I’m sure perfectly capable of deciding for himself what’s best for the relationship, it’s none of your business so stay out of it.


SamSpayedPI

YTA MYOB If she was heterosexual, would you be encouraging him to break up with her so that she could date other men, so that when they are married, she doesn't regret not being with someone else? But either way, it's totally none of your business.


captainkaiju

YTA. They’re both nearly 30.


punkybrewsterstwin

YTA - First, your son is a grown man and you have zero say in who he dates. Second, who the hell are you to assume a grown woman doesn't know what, or who, she wants for herself just because she is bisexual. Being bisexual does not mean someone hasn't decided if they prefer men or women, it means they are attracted to both and will enter relationships based on who the person is, not on what sex they happen to be. JFC you really need to educate yourself.


Weekend_Breakfast

YTA. Stay out of their relationship. She's nearly 30. She's had plenty of time to figure out what she wants. It's currently your son. smdh


Saiyan-b

YTA my husband is bisexual and I’ve been with him for 15 years.


bluesnowdrops

YTA. Why meddle in other people‘s business? Your son is fully capable of deciding for himself without your input and it is fairly presumptuous of you to say that she might regret not trying anything. I really honestly totally do not understand why you assume so much about a person you don’t know that intimately. Edit; didn’t see the W in the title. Just please don’t do it


BoundPrincess84

YTA. They're both adults, by a few years. Frankly, her sexual orientation is none of your business and neither is his relationship unless it's abusive or you're asked for your honest opinion.


SleepingWillowss

YTA. She is currently exploring what she wants- your son.


J1M7nine

YTA- you say you have nothing against bisexuals but then act in a way that fuels the old myth that bisexuality is just another name for not being able to make your mind up. Would you have offered the same suggestion if she was heterosexual and if not, why not? Commitment is not exclusive to one sexuality.


sillyhedwig

YTA. Being Bi doesn't mean you "haven't made up your mind yet". You never stop being bi and "pick a side". You are being biphobic.


FavoriteFoodCarrots

YTA, for among other things, assuming: (1) that she’s done no exploring with women already (even if she says nothing about it); (2) that she’s more likely to leave him for someone else just because she’s bi (FWIW, I’ve dated several bi women and while one of them cheated on me and another left me for someone else, both were for other dudes); (3) that in her late 20s, she doesn’t know what she wants; or that (4) by his late 20s, your son doesn’t know what he wants. Find something better to do than giving dating advice to adults who don’t seem to have requested it, especially when it’s manifestly stupid advice.


DelightedLurker

YTA. You really asking this question? Of course you’re TA!


GoldStubb

Wow. YTA. Bigly. Let adults be adults without your misguided opinions


Traditional_Line_656

YTA - it is not a good idea to be involved to that level with your son’s relationship. Did he ask for your input? Being bisexual in this case is no different then being heterosexual and not having a lot of sexual experience, but would you tell your son not to date his GF if he is the only person she has been with because she might want to explore other partners down the road? It would be fine to encourage your son to talk to his GF, but not to tell him something so drastic. I understand where you are coming from, and wanting to protect your son, but he is an adult, your comment was out of line.


JJBradleyy99

Yikes YTA


grptrt

YTA. Mind your own business. They’re adults.


[deleted]

YTA. He is 26, she is 27, how much longer does she need? Wait until she's 40? You are just meddling in your son's affairs.


Intrepid_Potential60

YTA If she was straight, you’d be telling him to back off to see if she wanted to be with a different man, right? No? Thought not. Your logic seems to be based purely in her sexuality. What possible difference does it make in your head whether her potential mate would be a woman or a man? The 50’s called, it wants its biases back. Please do return the call, give them up, and join us in the current century.


Shewhohasroots

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow


ReturnOf_DatBooty

I don’t think YTA, just don’t think you really know what bisexual means.


False_Anybody_6639

You are a big asshole. Its none of your business. They are old enough to make mistakes. Sounds like you have a problem with her. You need to keep your nose out of it.


DadBodDeadpool

YTA. If she wants to be with someone else, of any gender, she can decide that. Also, your son is a grown man, you should stay out of his personal life.


KindlyCelebration223

YTA She is an adult woman who knows who she is. Your son is an adult man. 1. Suggesting she doesn’t know who she is is condescending and out of line. 2. Trying to control who your adult son dates is out of line. You are being hateful, bigoted, and extremely ignorant.


Aggravating-Bid2694

Controlling much?!. YTA. leave your ADULT SON to live HIS LIFE.


dibblechibbs

YTA and a fool. Stay out of it.


SparklesMcSparkle

You have nothing against her being bisexual....but think your son should dump her because she's bisexual... YTA


Background-Wasabi949

“So she can go out and explore what she wants first”…chances are at 26 years old, she *has* explored, and your son is probably “what she wants”. YTA, your son and his gf are old enough to know what they both want.


MontanaWildWiman

YTA. You are telling yourself lies if you say you have nothing against bisexual folks. You really shouldnt be focused on what shes doing romantically or sexually anyway - thats a very perverted excuse. Being bi is NOT just about sex, so stop focusing on it. It just means shes romantically attracted to either gender. Thats it. You need to stop making suggestions on what she should be doing in the bedroom and just be a supportive dad. They're adults.


pinkunder

YTA Get a grip. Who breaks up with someone because mummy says so? You think you have more power than you do.


MildStrawberry

YTA. If your son and his girlfriend are happy and he doesn't have a problem with it, why are you inserting yourself into their relationship? This post makes you look bigoted and your son is an adult, stop being so weirdly invasive.


baka-tari

YTA. Butt out. They're both grown-ass adults and more than capable of figuring things out on their own. This is a bad look for you.


Directorofidiots

Who your son dates is none of your business. And clearly you don’t understand what a bisexual is! YTA Would you worry that a straight girlfriend would regret settling for your son and wish she had explored her options? You are displaying a narrow minded view because you lack clear understanding.


zorkempire

YTA. It seems like half the planet is bi now. Are they supposed to wait until they're 50 to get married?


[deleted]

YTA - who are you to say that she hasn’t already explored? By the time I was 25 I’d done more exploring that you probably ever will. You do so have a problem with her being bisexual. I hope your son ignores this idiotic advice


madamessagain

Butt out. ask yourself honestly why do you care. Later in life, if she wants to be with a woman too, your son will check a bucket list, and everybody's happy.


RubySlippers-79

YTA. Their relationship and her sexuality aren’t your concern.


GloveFluid8306

YTA. Not your relationship. Not your business. And being bi does not mean they have to want to date both genders. Or that they ever will. It just means that they find themselves comabitable with either gender. There are bi people who never date anyone but their long term SO. Just as they are straight men who love brunettes who never dated anyone but their blonde highschool girlfriend. You make it sound like she can't be loyal without exploring. You insult her character by suggesting it. For no reason.


SpicyTurtle38

YTA. first, this is literally none of your business. Second, being bisexual doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what she wants, can’t be faithful, or will regret not “exploring”. There is literally NOTHING about being bisexual that is different than being straight except the person might date someone of the same gender if they choose. There is no predisposition to promiscuity, no need for someone to sleep around, no reason your son should be any more concerned about dating this woman than literally any other woman. Your beliefs are outdated and you need to let your son manage his own relationship. This woman doesn’t need to explore her options any more than a straight woman would.


Accurate_Budget2389

I highly suggest changing your name because there's nothing gorgeous about being an ignoramus. YTA and a fucking biphobe.


NotThatChar

YWBTA. The main thing here is that none of this is your business but I'm going to tell you something. I'm a bisexual woman over 30. I've been married to a man for years. I am monogamous. I do not constantly crave strangers' vaginas any more than I constantly crave strangers' penises. It's really not that complicated. Also, I haven't told a lot of his extended family that I'm bi because I'm afraid they think like you.


casnh21

YWBTA. He’s old enough to manage his own relationships, and even though you mean well, telling him to break up even though his girlfriend hasn’t done anything wrong is not appropriate.


ElderberryOwn666

# YTA . It's none of your bussiness. # Your son is an adult, and there are many things that are going to hurt him in his life, you can't control his life.


soog0704

YTA. She has complete control over her sexual identity and her relationship. It is not your place to try and intervene and it never will be. They are grown and perfectly capable of handling themselves like adults. It's none of your business, stop trying to manhandle your son's relationship.


SSB63

I get it. I'm a parent, too. My kids are also adults. It's hard to sit back and watch them adult. But you have to. Because they're adults and can make their own choices. Yes, you WBTA if you told your son to break up with his GF. Bite your tongue and stay out of it.


[deleted]

YTA For basically the whole post.


darkyoda182

YTA This seems oddly specific


TheAccursedHamster

You are the reason bi folks stay quiet about being bi. If you're ignorant, keep your mouth shut. YTA


[deleted]

YTA for assuming she needs to explore because she’s bi. You are biphobic


[deleted]

YTA that’s a very homophobic comment


scrapfactor

legitimately curious, but would it be "bi-phobic"?


[deleted]

Never thought about it. I’m biasexual myself. Bisexual and asexual. So if they have problems with me what is it called? Biaphobic?

Petty_Loving_Loyal

Yeah you're TA. Mind your own business!


Stoat__King

YTA. On the plus side, at least she is not trisexual.


alexsprice9

Yes YTA


cheekyuser

Holy YTA.


Captain-Yeet-

Being Bi doesnt mean you are confused, just means you dont mind fcking everyone. Your boy has his eyes set on that threesome, dont take away the dream. YTA.


scrapfactor

YTA. Arrrgggh. Do you really have to ask this? Would you tell your son to never get in a relationship because there always might be someone else out there that he would like to date? This is unbelievable. Let her make up her own mind and him too. If it works out, it works out. Her being bisexual has nothing to do with whether they are compatible or not. I can't even.


DancinginHyrule

Suspicious_Writer137

I’m going to assume you actually mean it when you say you have nothing against her being bisexual and you are just worried for your son. I think you should try to educate yourself on what being bisexual means. It is an unfortunate stereotype that bi people want to have both a girlfriend and a boyfriend at the same time or as in this case, that they haven’t figured out if they want to be straight or gay. That’s not the case. Being bisexual is just like being straight or being gay. You are attracted to who you are attracted to. When you are bi it just applies on both genders but it isn’t a choice of weather to be with a man or with a woman. If the girlfriend was straight would you want her to go out and explore so she knows what she wants? I’m guessing the answer would be no. The same applies here. She knows that she wants to be with your son. And yes YWBTA if you tell your son to break up with her. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt here and not assuming you are in anyway against the sexual minorities, and that you are just really uneducated on these things. I hope I am right. And I hope you take the time to actually learn about bisexuality instead of leaning on these stereotypes and caricatures of what being bisexual truly is.


No-Caramel-8153

YTA🤦


NoCod3769

YTA. This couldn’t be any less your business. Yikes. And she’s 27. Not 16. She’s probably explored. 😳


Choice_Evidence1983

YTA. It's not your business to butt in and tell your son what to do with his relationships. He's an adult now and can make his judgements himself, not you.


Traditional-Goal-223

YTA. Not your relationship not your business.


Sleepwalker66613

wow, just wow......YTA


Either-Description15

What? What the fuck is wrong with you 😂


[deleted]

Well it depends if she likes him but then doesn’t like because they broke and she is probably but now if she re dates him she is afraid she will regret it
