If the bi character ends up with a same-sex partner, then that is good because Need More Queer Representation In Literature.  But as you said, many bi people end up with different sex partners, particularly bi women.  So they don’t get representation of how to conduct their lives in mixed-orientation relationships.  Bisexual relationships are rendered Basically Gay by other monosexual queers and bi people are praised only if they stay within those confines.

If the bi character ends up with the different-sex partner, then the story is blown off for Basically Being Straight and seen as unnecessary when we Need More Queer Representation In Literature.  Straight assholes are reassured that bi women are just doing bisexuality for funsies but will one day settle down into straight lives and relationships.  Bi women are made to feel like their relationships and lives are Not Queer Enough.  

Basically either way, bi women are set up to lose in a screwey monosexist and sexist framework.  The entire debate is a set up to fail where bi people can’t win.  So monosexual queers, please stop saying things like this.

A guide to the “10 Signs of Greenwash”:

Fluffy language: Words or terms with no clear meaning (e.g., “eco-friendly”).

Green product vs. dirty company: Such as efficient lightbulbs made in a factory that pollutes rivers.

Suggestive pictures: Green images that indicate a (unjustified) green impact (e.g., flowers blooming from exhaust pipes).

Irrelevant claims: Emphasizing one tiny green attribute when everything else is not green.

Best in class: Declaring you are slightly greener than the rest, even if the rest are pretty terrible.

Just not credible: “Eco friendly” cigarettes, anyone? “Greening” a dangerous product doesn’t make it safe.

Jargon: Information that only a scientist could check or understand.

Imaginary friends: A “label” that looks like third-party endorsement — except that it’s made up.

No proof: It could be right, but where’s the evidence?
