Full disclosure, Im BI and im not accusing her of causing it entirely. Im not saying I wasnt born BI or that she turned me BI. I probably always had that inclination to be fine going either way.

That being said, growing up with her as the model of what a mother/wife would be like - really skewed me away from romantic relationships with women. Sure I find the female form attractive but I dont want to date one if there is even the smallest chance they could be like her.

Ive always kinda felt that if attracted to both anyways, but having a wife would be like living with her all over again - fuck that shit , ill just get a BF.

I realize not all women will be like her, but the possibility they could be makes me feel put off the idea of dating one.

AITAH for telling my mom this after she brought up my sexuality in a conversation?

She specifically asked if im BI, why havent I had a GF since highscool, and I was just being honest. I wasnt trying to attack her.

She knows we have never gotten along and only were able to coexist peacefully and be ok with eachother after I moved away. We were at eachothers throats for years when I was adolescent, never seeing eye to eye. Im not sure why shes surprised or upset by my answer...
