Ask yourself those questions, maybe that will help you. x

 You need to be honest with your g/f and tell her about your b/f and how you are NOT gay, you are bi, and thus will not cheat on her and will continue to love her and her child. I'm glad your b/f is willing to share you, and though it most likely does hurt him, over time things can get better as a new life pattern imerges. However, you do need to be truthful with the g/f and explain it all (and how you and him have been together a long time and thus the risk of STDs is small, etc). It is then up to her whether she is willing to share you as well. If she doesn't, then you might have to move on, for there will be females out there who don't mind sharing you as long as it is with a man and only that one other person. I know that these type of relationships, though not extremly common, can work out, but only if all members are honest and open to the idea. Some of these people even get a house all together. But, you have to be fair to all the people involved, and love is about takeing risks in that you are risking your heart to anouthers control. I hope she is not freaked out by this (many women could be, though i know i wouldn't be, but im perhaps not the norm). She may only want to stay as friends who occasionaly have sex, or just friends, or nothing at all, but she needs to make this choice herself, and luckily your b/f is still there for you, something that many people probably wouldn't have in your circumstance.good luck, i hope all goes well
