What is it about?
In this study, we compared perceptions of partner support and partner strain across two samples of lesbian, bisexual, and heterosexual women, one cohort from the mid-1990s and one from the mid-2010s. We found that bisexual women, especially in the more modern cohort, were at risk for diminished perceptions of partner support and higher perceptions of strain from their partners.
