I live in Canada. I’m your neighbour to the north.
I love your post. Seriously. We need to mull things over. Question things. Question ourselves, our lives, our values, our core. You are correct, we find ourselves.
A caution, if I may, do not rush this process. Do no make decisions quickly. Emotions are stirred within you, and it is not a good idea to make decisions based on emotions.
Definitely seek your emotions, and let them wash over you. Listen to them. Feel them.
Then bring in your thoughts on the situation. Not how you feel about something, how you think about it.
With these feelings and thoughts one explores their beliefs. That is where the inner work really happens. Beliefs are slow to change, which make them excellent headings for our lives.
At this time you have a golden opportunity, not available to many people. You have more access to your inner self, to those deep values. Yeah, it hurts; and it’s worth it. Look deep, and fearlessly. Change things you don’t like or value and strengthen that which you do. This takes time.
Eventually thoughts, emotions, and beliefs all move together in the same direction. It is great once they all line up.
I remember times just like what you posted about. That is why I love your post. You are on a very good path, IMHO.
Have faith, you are doing fine.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
