I recently am separated due to me wanting to explore more with women. I did so while married and my husband knew, but things went crazy and there was a lot of drama with him. I ended it with the girl but I still liked the connection I made with her. But I wonder still was it just her that I liked. Am I truely bi? Sometimes I feel more towards women than men, but I wonder if it's because I'm upset about my marriage ending and maybe it's clouding me?

How will I ever know for sure if I'm really lesbian or bi or not even bi, just went through a phase?

I suppose I am separating myself to be alone for awhile to get out there and figure it out.

Let me take a shot at this. If you see a attractive man and are attracted to him and feel that you would under the right circumstances want to have sex with him and desire him than you probably are not a lesbian. By the same token if you have those same feelings for a woman also then you are probably bi. The question then becomes a matter of monogamy or not.

Can you be with just one person ie one sex? Or do you feel a substantial need for what both sexes provide? Maybe you need to be in a poly-amorous relationship.

It takes a lot of soul searching. No one answer may fit you.

I agree with Dirty.  It does take some soul searching to figure things out.  But at the same time, I think that since you enjoy the company and the connection with a woman, maybe you should explore that a little more.  Even if it is just exploration and having fun.  You said you just got separated, so maybe a relationship isn't exactly what you need.

What I am saying is that after all is said and done, you need to take care of you.
