It wasn't that I wanted to see a lesbian romance, I just would've been happy not to see her paired off at all. They were doing so well--"Yeah, I'm crazy about you, but I've got lots else going on and this isn't a wise choice for me right now"--I wish they had just stayed there. I read it not as "See, she really isn't a lesbian!" Hadn't they established that (for both girls) sufficiently already? Rather it was the old-fashioned trope about a woman not being complete unless she's married. It doesn't matter how successful she is in any other area, if she can't get and hold a man as well, then she's a complete failure.
