can I just rant for a second?

I'm so sick of the bi-erasure that I've encountered since I came out. I only came out to really close friends, my parents don't even know. I've talked to my mum about bisexuality, not as it applied to me, just to gauge a reaction and she was trying so hard to be understanding but ultimately felt weird about it. I don't know, I just feel like bisexuality is never taken seriously because people chalk it up to nymphomania or selfishness or "experiementing." 
I've had a boyfriend for 7 years and, for a few of those, it was an open relationship which I met a lot of wonderful people (boys and girls) and even though I'm "exclusive" again, people still think my experiences with women, as well as my feelings towards them, aren't real. Anyone else in this situation??
