Insecure about sexuality

So I’ve been out the closet for 9 years, and have been in a relationship for 2 years with my boyfriend. I feel insecure about my sexuality lately for some reason and I just don’t know what to do. My boyfriend has been super supportive but I just don’t want to lay it all on him. What do I do?

You’ve already talked to him, but don’t feel like a burden. Yes it’s okay to feel a bit unsure about your openess due to the fear of stigma and being excluded from society. However, if you feel the need to, you should consider talking to a professional, there is no harm in being gay but don’t force yourself to show it openly if you do not feel comfortable as this may form a barrier in your relationship. You can also talk to online friends, and although many people will be here to talk to you and advise you, you’ll have to change your mindset first if you want to feel different.
I’m also always here if you want to pm me :smile:
Your sexuality is no one's business really. You don't need to tell anyone about it, so why feel insecure?
