It raises concerns for the straight partner about the level of commitment that the bi-curious partner is able to bring to the relationship.

What many women fail to understand about the nature of male sexuality is that a man in a committed relationship does not automatically lose interest in other women. His commitment does not mean that he chooses to deaden all instinctive sexual response (for if he did that he would lose interest in his girlfriend too) but rather that he acknowledges other sexual stimili but chooses not to act on them.

When a woman accuses a man of lack of interest or "mental infidelity"because he looks at another woman when he is with her, what she is really saying is that she does not trust him and that her own self-esteem is so low that she can only feel validated as a person when he is looking at her; that she expects her presence alone to exert total mind control over him: this is not a good recipe for a sustainable relationship.

When one partner in a relationship is bisexual and the other partner is not the commitment of the bisexual partner is simply that they will remain sexually faithful to their partner for so long as the sexual relationship endures. It does not mean that they will lobotomise themselves in order to meet the straight expectations of their partner. Of course their interest will still be aroused by attractive people of either gender but, just as with a heterosexual , they choose not to respond to that attraction and prioritise their current relationship with their partner over a casual fling.

If both members of a heterosexual relationship are bi-curious it would be wise to discuss this openly. A negotiated time-out or break from the relationship in order to gain individual homosexual experience is probably a better option than inviting another man, woman or couple into their bed.

Is heterosexual-monogamous relationship a healthy relationship?

A monogamous heterosexual relationship may be healthy, but the genders or number of sexual partners is not the relevant aspect. A healthy relationship is one based upon mutual respect, trust and communication, features that can be absent from monogamous heterosexual relationships.

This is pretty much like asking if a heterosexual person will stay with her heterosexual partner, when you stop to think about it. If the primary reason for the relationship is sexual gratification, chances are the relationship will not last. If, however, the primary reason is love, you have about the same chances as a heterosexual couple.
