Atypical dedicated orientation (or ADO) - when one's sexual or romantic orientation (or both if they are gender- aligned) is atypically centered on a specific person who does not express the gender they are typically oriented to.
Like: You dig your man, but none of those other dudes do it for you at ALL, and really, women, trans, asexual or non-binary folx are where it's at for you sexually and/or romantically. He's the exception to the rule - lucky guy!!
You could use this as a way of articulating your broader orientation. Like: I'm bisexual but have ADO for my husband. I am not gonna be chasing any other cis men if we break up though!

Get the ADO (atypical dedicated orientation)mug. The MLB right now should drive yourself away and not be arsed about being politically oriented. Rob Manfred the MLB commissioner should worry about his bottom line not the things he's currently upset about.
