Dana...thank you.  That was eloquent and poignant.  I am dealing with the OTHER side of this issue: neither my H nor B has ever had a relationship with either gender.  Always everything would be sabotaged so that no one could find out who lived under the B's skin.  Men couldn't love B.  Women couldn't love H.  I feel myself helpless and shut down...because I could love both in any way s/he needs.  Thank you so much for this blog.
