He could have genuinely loved her. 1) even some gay men admit to having at least romantic affection for female exes. Or 2) he could be bisexual
I'm leaning towards 1.
If nothing else, going by a couple of people I know who were in similar situations, when you are raised in some environments, you are led to think if only you meet the right girl, the feelings you have for men will go away.
I believe Joe truly cared about his ex, it's just that caring wasn't enough to overcome being gay.
I hope the best for her as well as Joe.

poor girl she was probably lied to for years

I'd think the fact he is now attracted to men (and from the looks of it, the closet door hinges blasted right off the threshold, so there's probably no going back!), it's easier for her.

Knowing that she can't compete for him has to make it sting less, because this wouldn't be the case if he were with another woman.

They are open, and to add a third here and there. Have a Grindr account
Not a surprise, especially with Joe, who is a late bloomer and likely wants to experience some of the gay sex he missed out on earlier in life.
