I just disagree- I think talking about it is a lot better than the alternative- not talking and acting on it and the dishonesty that would tear you apart, or not talking and slowly distancing yourself from her as she stands in the way of your desire... The risk of losing her from not speaking has to be worse than the risk of losing her from honest open discussion. Of course it should be done with some delicacy and respect not just informing her of your feelings as if you don't care about the impact on her... perhaps there is some middle road...

Also- for all of you men commenting here, how would you feel if your girlfriend admitted to an interest in another woman? Men often have such a different view of male and female homosexuality... women don't necessarily have the same view at all, though maybe in part it comes from the feeling that a woman would never force something on another woman?
