Bi is definitely a part of my identity, but I am absolutely committed to my wife of 15 years. Am I an outlier or is this the norm?
Who is to say WHAT defines "normal" these days? You, obviously, are a man who takes commitments seriously. Being a totally celibate gay man of 65 years, I cannot comment further, but, allow me to say you obviously have a very mature view on relationships......
You break the stereotype that all bisexual men are out there having sex with every one that crosses your path. You just celebrate what you have with your wife and enjoy it.
I'm Bi and did have encounters with guys up until I met my wife. Since then I've not been with another guy as much as I've wanted to from time to time. We've been married 32 years. I wouldn't cheat even if the urge to meet a guy for sex remains.
