What to do about your girlfriend. You're cheating on her. There is no way around it. If you're supposed to be in an exclusive relationship with her, every sexual outing with one of your "DL brothas"... constitutes an act of infidelity.[post=316618]Quoted post[/post]
I like DMW's take on the situation here. The bottom line is that your sexual orientation is not what's at issue here. It's the fact that you're cheating on your girlfriend. (Implicit in the idea of being on the "down low" is that you're supposed to be in a
committed relationship with a woman-- it's not that you're closeted and using this woman as a cover.) Having sex with anyone, male or female, outside the boundaries of a committed relationship without the partner's knowledge and consent is wrong, not only because of the hurt it can cause, but also because of the risk of passing a sexually transmitted disease to your partner without the partner's knowledge of such a risk existing. If you really want to play the field, I'd suggest breaking things off with your girlfriend with no other explanation than you want to start seeing other people; otherwise, if you really want to be with her and still have some action on the side, you're going to have to come clean with her and tell her the
whole story. The alternative, if you don't like either of these two scenarios, is to be faithful to your girlfriend. The only other course, which is the one you're on now, is one which you know isn't right.
