What do jealous people do if their partner is bisexual?

I’ve heard the saying of “men and women can’t be just friends.”

I’m bi, I’ve had 6 partners my whole life. 4 cis women, 1 trans woman, and 1 cis man (current partner).

I asked my bf this before to get the perspective of a straight man since I tend to hear this saying only in the Straight Community, so I think this is only Straight Culture. I never met any gays or lesbians who got upset that their partner had friends of the same sex.

He said it’s due to evolutionary biology, to confirm that kid is the man’s. He said he doesn’t follow that logic but it’s the best he can come up with.

But I am curious, as I’ve met straight men who said it’s not cheating if it’s with the same sex. I think it is and saying it’s not cheating is just Bi erasure. For some reason men are so confident with themselves that they truly don’t think we will leave them in the dust for a woman 💀

I feel there's a big difference if a woman has a sexual relationship with man or a woman. If a woman seeks out another man that means she's unsatisfied with the relationship with her male partner. If she seeks out a woman that is a separate, different type of situation, not necessarily threatening her relationship with her male partner.

@badminton but as a bisexual, it would work the same. I’m romantically and sexually attracted to women. I’ve fallen in love with women and actually am more physically attracted to women than men, hence why I had mostly female partners.

I only do monogamy. So it would threaten my relationship with a man.

I don't know that there's a one size fits all answer. People are wired different, and some societies see things completely different than others. My son is gay and poly. When he was married, they shared a house with a m/f couple. The woman (AFAIK) is straight but her husband is bi and was involved with my son and his husband and I think one or two others. I don't know how that worked, did she watch, go to the mall, or read a book while the guys were together? No idea. Now my son and his partner have split but he's still involved with the woman's husband and still on friendly terms with the ex.

@robb65 did you not understand the point of my post? Obviously the people in that situation aren’t jealous people lol and I’m talking about FRIENDSHIP. I’ve met straight men say they don’t like their women to be friends with men because they might cheat. My point is, what’s she’s bi? She still might cheat. It’s not a consistent argument.
