What causes people to be bisexual?

I have some questions about bisexuality that maybe some posters can answer. I feel quite differently about it than I do about homosexuality, because to me it seems like bisexuality could easily involve a life of misunderstanding, hurt and betrayal. Example: Jane is serious about her boyfriend John, then decides she is bisexual and breaks up with him for girlfriend Liz. But the situation with Liz is not stable because there is always Jane’s attraction for guys. How does Jane attain a stable family life, which is what most people, eventually, want? And how does she cope with family and friends who would feel much more comfortable if she was firmly in one slot or the other?

I guess what I’m saying is that I would have no problem if one of my kids was gay. I would accept that as their identity. But bisexuality: I think I would wonder, who are you? why can’t you decide? Please don’t take offense but instead correct me if what I’ve posted is wrong.
