A friend of mine whom I thought was a devout lesbian, tells me she is now not sure if she likes women or men better. Her long-time SO not only dumped her but also ran off with credit cards, bank book and a lot of the stuff from their house.
In other words, the stab-in-the-back nature of the breakup has my friend confused about her gender.
I'm puzzled by this. Hetero men have this kind of betrayal happen to them all the time, but I've never heard of one becoming gay because of it. I don't know any gay men who have been betrayed quite this thoroughly, so I don't know about that angle.

When winter break arrived, we did get together, but she did the LJBF thing, saying she had discovered women, and wasn't interested in men anymore. The SO who broke up with her was one of those women, though they didn't become a couple until a few years after college.
