To be frank, I often think I've compromised so much (happiness, wants, desires, needs, career) in my life just to ensure that my kids had a two parent household until they were grown and on their own. Being raised like so many others from a broken and misguided home, I just couldn't bring myself to put them through that. Because of this, my wife and I have been through marriage counseling twice in our 20+ year relationship, but there are times recently that I think we either need to go again or finally call it a day.
So I guess I would say that I'm somewhere in between at the moment, since it seems I'm on that roller coaster that is nothing but ups and downs with no end in sight. However, realizing and accepting some of my GID, which includes feminizing my appearance, has certainly helped clear my mind and focus.
