A genuine question on loyalty !

Before I start off on this question, I am not a homophobe. I respect people of all sexual orientations including the asexuals.

Now, I understand in a hetero or homo sexual relationship, loyalty will be a perfectly clear aspect, where the people in the relationship are strictly loyal to one another by being with one another both physically & emotionally as well.

However, with respect to bisexual folks, how does loyalty work? Being a bisexual, you do have indicate that you would like both sexes to be your sexual partners but, that goes right against the lines of loyalty from a hetero or a homo sexual relationship perspective.

I'd appreciate responses to this without insulting or being rude to anyone.

Thank you.

Kay.

Bisexuals refers to what they find attractive, not their lifestyle. Bisexuals can choose to stay in a lane for the duration of a relationship if they really want it to work.

@Jessmari Great. Thank you, I realized I mistook their preferences to lifestyle. But that being said, would someone who is bisexual ever feel that they are missing out on the other preference that they didn't choose to make a relationship work? I know you can't talk for a whole group of people, but have you ever come across someone that felt or said this to you?

@agotamaniscalistic literally too many variables to consider. It boils down to the individual and the nature of thier relationship with. They could both be bisexual and have an agreed upon rules in the relationship. They could simply prefer one way more than the other.

Could things get complicated. Sure, like any relationship. Things can go south. Loyalty comes with time. It's not a given in any relationship.

Thank you @Jessmari . That really was insightful. I liked the way how you put it, loyalty is certainly not a given in any relationship.

Pretty much everyone feels that they are missing out on something. Being faithful means you have to live with missing out on quite a lot that you might be interested in and not only as regards sex.
