Okay, let's make one thing clear: Of course I'm not assuming that everyone on this site is a straight guy or a lesbian[footnote]or a gay dude in denial who needs to understand that there's nothing wrong with being gay; love between two men is a beautiful thing[/footnote] but I needed a short subject line. And I know that you might not want to hurt the feelings of your significant other by breaking up, so regard the question this way: If you could break up with your gal-pal/boy-toy without hurting her/his feelings, is there a fictional person that would make it worth it if, by breaking up with your old flame, you could start going out with this guy/girl?
