I believe that in response to feeling betrayed by AF, AM are going through the 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, sadness and acceptance. I am currently in the sadness phase. Perhaps by performing some self-administered cognitive behavioral therapy/mental gymnastics we will be able to ascend to the acceptance phase, reducing or even eliminating this sense of betrayal.
One method to overcome this issue would be to become a masochist and embrace the pain of being romantically involved with someone of a group that would potentially prefer WM if given a choice. As a medical student, masochism is nothing new to me so this is funnily enough a viable solution. Sometimes, pain helps you grow as a person, builds character and allows you to feel more empathy for others who are suffering.
