Think maybe I need a relationship with another female. Not been down this road before. I have spent a few random nights with another female but not a relationship. Married at the moment. Thoughts?
 
I can share a story with you but not an answer.

I have a family member who was married, but starting to question his marriage. He wasn´t sure that he wanted something else, but he felt like he did, so he slept with somebody else. He discovered that he indeed needed this new thing and wasn´t actually happy in his marriage, and got divorced.

There´s so many things involved in a question like this, like "are you happy where you are", or do you need to explore more of yourself, and if you need to explore more, can you do so safely in your marriage, yeah or nay? Perhaps you should discuss this new idea first with your partner? Not everybody is happy about the exploration idea, but honesty seems kind of important in a marriage, so I would at least consider that before you do anything else.
 
If you are fairly certain that you're not straight, but your married. It would be important to explore that to know for sure.
 
Op.
How would you feel if your husband told you about a recent sexual encounter with another man, citing his reason for doing so was because he was curious?

If you wouldn't be OK with that, why should he be?

I don't understand why you are asking us. We can't tell you what you are really feeling, nor how your husband will feel about this.
We certainly can't provide you permission.

If this is what you think you should do, then do it. If not, don't.

If you're looking for someone to provide you with some type of moral justification for "experimenting" behind your husband's back?
Nope. You won't get that from me.

If your husband is the kind of person who cares about fidelity in a monogamous relationship. It would only be fair to tell him, so he can decide what he wants to do regarding his role in what's left of your marriage.

Cheating is still cheating, no matter what gender any of the involved persons happen to be.
 
No matter where, or to whom, you go, there you are. The things you could likely benefit the most from figuring out aren't about who you would be more comfortable sleeping with or having a relationship with, but rather figuring out and learning how to recognize and be more comfortable with the relationship you have with yourself, most especially before becoming an experiment and involving the feelings of others as an experimental project, of sorts, on such a deep level.
