Aren’t “alpha widows” just women who are in love/pair bonded really hard?

Lol this is funny bc I have a girl friend who has been alpha widowed. She sexually pines for this guy she used to have sex with on “breaks” from her first real boyfriend. I have a feeling if she had sex with him again, it would cure her because it likely wasn’t that great, just exciting because of the circumstances.

Now the kicker. Is there a name for a “beta” that a woman pines for? The same man she’d take breaks from and eventually broke up with she regrets all the time and pines for a relationship with him. He’s now (seemingly) happily married and they live the “perfect” upper middle class life. She (more often than her sexual pining) expresses regret for breaking up with him, looks at his pictures and talks about how life would’ve been great with him.

So is there such a thing as beta widow?
