That may very well have been the case.  One of the women (S.) had an
abusive ex-husband.  She recounted the following two stories as
reasons for why she wouldn't date bi's -- personally, they seemed
to be more a case of sexual bad manners than anything else.

In the first instance, the woman told her (after they'd made love)
that she'd slept with a man the previous night.  In the second,
the two woman were together in the bedroom when the bi woman's
(ex ?)husband arrived to pick up the kids for his weekly visit.
S. hadn't been told there WAS a husband, much less that he'd be
there in the morning to visit the kids.  S. had to go through the
living room (where he was) to get to the bathroom; she was very
embarrassed.
