You don't "owe" anyone an explanation when you break up. You definitely need to have someone on your side in real life - you don't have to tell them why either, just that you're going through a rough patch and breaking up.

Women are socialized to care for others - to our own detriment. You have to put yourself first. A partner isn't someone who needs a care taker. A real partner is a give and take relationship, each of you looking out for each other. You're describing a one-sided relationship - that's enough reason to get out, even if you were bisexual and the rest didn't matter.
