I am the ahankari of the house to the point I unknowingly caused my brother to have no voice.

I was always rebellious, challenging traditional stereotypes and questioning everything. And from as long as I can remember, I had the title "ahankari" branded on me. I was fine with it all until I realised how much it affected my brother.

Because I was like this, he was put in a position where he was forced to become the compliant good boy. One who listened and nodded and never questioned anything. Now, at the age of 17, he has no real friends, no real opinions, easily influenced and doesn't even know how to defend himself when wronged. And one time I supported him enough for him to voice his thoughts, he was driven to a point of thoughts of suicide. For the first time in my life I'm feeling so helpless.

Our parents won't listen to a word we say. They have a mindset and anything that challenges it is wrong and dumb. They don't understand the amount of pressure they put on him. I have escaped this help but unknowingly trapped my brother in it. He doesn't even have the courage to try to escape it.

I posted about this in this subreddit and all I got was people talking shit about my boyfriend.

I am 20. I have a boyfriend and we've been in a committed relationship. I opened up to him about my attraction to women and he told me I'm free to explore my sexuality and is okay with an open relationship as long as it limits strictly to women on my end. And that he doesn't want to open the relationship on his end.

I suggested threesomes if it turns out that I'm actually into women because it didn't feel fair towards him. And he insisted it's all up to my wish to do it or not.

Yet, when I asked in this subreddit to see how I could find like-minded women, all I received was backlash against my boyfriend. Saying he is homophobic when he has been nothing but supportive to me figuring this out.

I am a girl, bi-curious and want to explore my sexuality. I have been curious but I never thought to act on it until now.

I don't want anything serious until I figure this out.

What do I do? I've thought about hooking up with a girl to confirm it. But the dating apps are filled with fake profiles and men pretending to be women. Where can I actually find queer women?
