I've had the exact same situation. And maybe it is easier for women, because we tend to be more emotional and can sometimes find that with being in a straight relationship that level of intense emotion does not exist. My once ever gay relationship was the most intense ever. I never thought I was gay/bi but I just connected on a different level with this woman. I treid to commit suicide when it ended, as the euphoria that came with the relationship was over.

It is very intense being with another woman; even my therapist agreed. The emotions are on a differnet level. It can be rewarding and tiring at the same time.
