I actually was in a relationship for five years with a girl who broke up with me to pursue being a lesbian. It hurt when we broke up, of course, but we're still good friends, and I am actually much happier that she left me for a girl than if she'd left me for another guy.
I can't possibly compete with a girl: it's apples and oranges. Which soothes the competitiveness in me.
But also, how can I blame my ex? If I had the choice between going out with a big hairy Jewish dude versus getting it on with a chick, I wouldn't pick me, either.
