I'm in the same situation as your friend - with man I've been with since high school, never dated a woman. Calling myself straight would be a lie.

It would erase years of agonizing over attraction to women, and trying to explain those feelings away as "something else." It would erase my teenage unrequited feelings for a friend of mine, which were passionate and intense and basically consumed my sophomore year of high school. It would erase the temptations I had to cheat on my then-boyfriend with a woman while at college. Yeah, I'm a "straight woman" - the kind with lifelong feelings of sexual attraction to women. Makes about as much sense as a woman with a penis.
