Confused girlfriends is a term used to describe girlfriends who are unsure of their romantic and/or sexual identity. Some people refer to these individuals as bisexual, non-binary, or queer; however, this is not always the case.
People may be confused about their sexuality for a few reasons. Sometimes people experience sexuality confusion due to trauma or guilt. Other times, it can be because of internalized homophobia or because their environment is homophobic.
It is important to note that being sexually and romantically confused does not mean that someone is not sure they love you. People can be very clear on who they love, but not on what gender they love them as.
When dealing with a confused girlfriend, it is important to be sensitive to their needs.
Explain things more thoroughly

A lot of guys make the mistake of assuming their girlfriends understand things the same way they do. This is not a good way to understand someone!
Everyone has different experiences that shape how they understand and interpret things. For example, if your girlfriend has a close female friend, she might feel like she understands women better because of her experience with her own gender.
You can help your girlfriend understand things more clearly by explaining things in a more thorough manner. You can do this by going back to basics and explaining how something works or happens. Alternatively, you can explain something from a different angle or point out some details that might have been missed.
It’s important to be gentle and reassuring when you do this, though. You don’t want to seem like you’re trying to prove something or show that you know something that they don’t know.
What you are feeling

If you are feeling confused about your sexuality, you may feel uncomfortable and awkward around members of the gay community. You may also feel nervous about being in situations that might trigger your sexuality shift.
For example, if you have always liked women and feel like you are starting to like men, you might avoid watching male porn with your girlfriend or her friends. You might also avoid kissing or touching her and her friends because it would make you uncomfortable.
It is totally okay if you do not want to do these things at this time. It is a hard process emotionally and mentally, and taking some time off from sex and intimacy is good.
You may also find yourself having negative feelings towards your girlfriend or women in general. This is something that needs to be addressed as well. If you are having these feelings, talk to someone close to you about it.
Find out what she is feeling
If your girlfriend seems confused, the first step is to find out what she’s feeling. Is she feeling lonely, angry, sad, guilty, afraid, insecure, doubtful, misunderstood, judged, disliked?
These are all feelings that can cause someone to feel confused. Knowing this can help you understand her situation and what to do about it.
For example, if your girlfriend feels lonely or isolated, take the time to listen to her and don’t interrupt. Let her know that you are listening and want to understand what she is feeling.
If she feels angry or hated then try to calm her down. Don’t make things worse by making her feel more emotions than just confusion. Try to make her feel safe and loved.
It is also important to remember that all of these feelings are valid. No emotion is wrong or bad. Emotions are how we respond to things so they are very natural.
Ask her questions about what is confusing you

If your girlfriend is acting confused, ask her questions about what she is confused about. This can be anything from what she should eat for dinner to whether or not she wants to go on a second date.
Asking her questions about what you’re confusing her about can help you figure out what she might be confused about. It can also help her understand what she knows and what she doesn’t know.
It shows that you care about her feelings and that you want to understand her. Even if she does not know something, asking her questions can help her feel more confident and aware.
By asking questions, you can learn more about your girlfriend and whether or not she knows something. For example, if she asks you a question and gets an answer, then she knows that answer. That will make her feel more confident in herself and in you.
Communication is always good

Even if you and your girlfriend are in a happy relationship, occasional conflicts are inevitable.
When this happens, it’s important to talk about what caused the conflict. It could be something small or something bigger, but unless you talk about it, it will only get worse.
Conflict can be emotional, and making someone else emotional is not a good thing. When you discuss things, you need to be calm and clear and listen to the other person.
If she comes to you with a problem or asks for help, listen to what she has to say and don’t interrupt her. Let her have her say and know that she already knows the answer—she said so!
If she doesn’t know the answer, then help her find one by being calm and listening to her. If you make her feel like she can’t talk then she won’t feel like she can trust you which could end up causing more problems.
Talk to her about it
If you’re in a relationship with someone who’s experiencing gender confusion, it can be hard to know how to help them. Most experts suggest talking about it as much as you need to, to make you both feel comfortable and safe.
It’s also important to listen to your partner and what they’re going through. Don’t ignore them or pretend everything is okay when they talk about their experience—take the time to understand what they’re going through.
It can be difficult to navigate romantic relationships when one (or both) of you is experiencing gender identity issues. It’s not necessarily obvious how to balance being supportive and loving with being cautious.
If your partner is feeling insecure or unsure about themselves, that may bring up uncomfortable feelings in you as well. It’s important to work on keeping your own self-confidence and security while supporting your partner.
Ask her to read something that helps with your confusion

If you’re not quite ready to talk about your confusion, have your girlfriend read something that can help her understand what you’re going through.
There are many articles, blog posts, and books about dealing with anxiety. Have her read something from a professional on the subject or check out some of the resources below.
Anxiety isn’t something that can be understood without experience, but these can help her understand what you’re going through and how to help you.
Getting into the details isn’t necessary, although it may help you feel more comfortable if you do. It is up to you whether or not you want to share that information with her!
An important thing to remember is that she cares about you and wants to support you, so don’t make her read too much on the subject or she may start to feel overwhelmed.
Revisit an old conversation or event that bothers you
If you have a problem with your girlfriend, you should talk to her about it. It can be hard to bring up a bad conversation or event, but it’s important to do so.
