Why does GL in general love heartbreak "she left me for a man" stories so damn much? Like I get the point of having some such stories, but I've seen it re-hashed so many damn times, so I must assume there's people out there who want to read these sorts of stories over and over...?
I can only think to presume that it is some particular variety of enjoyment-of-angst that, I, personally, am not attuned to.
