Eleanor Roosevelt springs to mind as an example. She maintained a long term same-sex relationship while maintaining a very public, conventional marriage. Men too who identify as heterosexual, but who nevertheless have casual sexual encounters/ affairs with other men. Perhaps these loosely fit into No 5 , the Split Self Affair, but I think the issue of sexual identity is sufficiently important to warrant its own category.
