It's not that I don't beleive in marriage, or want to be with someone exclusively for life, because I hold both of those goals very dear to my heart.
What I am struggling with is a conflict between intellect and emotions. I understand the arguments from an intellectual point of view that a committed, monagamous relationship is the best environment to raise a family, contribute to society, yadda yadda...But what validity should be applied to ones emotional needs? should they be subjegated? and if so, to what extent? my dilemna right now is two fold: it seems either i stay on AD's indefinately (which also have removed any emotional attachments - either good or bad - which i feel for my wife), or i remove myself from the environment i feel is causing the depression in the first place. talk about catch-22....
