Cali- I think you are incredibly strong. Seriously like superhero strong for taking a stand. You are using this time to be stronger and wiser. You are showing your family that marriage is a sacrament and you are showing your wife what love is through your vows. Lots of people profess to love someone but they are not able to grasp what that means. i admire you and even if things don't work out then you'll be able to look into the mirror each morning.
People are quick to leave when they feel bad. A lot of people stay simply out of fear. They are paralyzed to make change. You are not those people. You have looked at your fears and you've felt pretty awful. You didn't run - you remained and reflected and are making a choice to value what is valuable to your soul. That is like Jedi warrior strong. May the force be with you.
