Well, it sounds like you had some competing priorities going for a while there, and I think your choices were sound. Let's take a look:

- Looking for a house vs. a piano player. - Taking a job you wanted/needed vs. staying close to yoga classes. - Working on a novel that you feel has stalled out vs. productive writing on your journal. - Investing time and energy in a new marriage vs. (fill in the blank).

Now that some of these things are settling down or have been deferred for the present, which of your former activities do you feel is reasonable to resume and will re-build your self-respect while strengthening your relationship with Mark?

Once you identify that one activity, I suspect you'll figure out how to overcome the obstacles that stand between it and you.

I appreciate that you are so forthcoming.
