you are doing well!! I am so proud of you!!!! I love how you are using this time and this experience to look inside yourself and question so many things. !!!!!! So many times in the past months I have had to examine something I held really dear to my heart, something I felt was essential to my identity, and realized that it wasn't actually who I was, and that holding on to it was holding me back.
this stuck out:

but I am now learning that life is about compromise and that while having ideals is great they are not always achievable - it goes back to the being right or being happy thing.
I might be misunderstanding what you wrote... but I am starting to realize that compromise is actually not what marriage is about. Everyone/everything in our culture/society says that's what marriage is, but I'm starting to think it's something else. Did you get passionate marriage yet?? David Schnark talks about that a lot... I feel like i can't explain it but if you read it than we could have many discussions
I am just so proud of you for having the guts and energy to look inside and question and make all these discoveries!!!!
