Tough call.
I love my wife, and wouldn't want to not be with her.
But...
But getting here meant passing through a lot of pain and missing out on many opportunities.
If I had to go back to a tipping point in my life it'd be while I was at university. I broke up from my girlfriend because she slept with my flatmate.
For a couple of months I went out with an older woman who was a mature student on my course.
I got back together with my girlfriend soon after and it was her I married. We broke up and divorced years later when she cheated on me again.
If I was to pick a point where my life could have had the maximum change from the minimum effort I would have stayed with the older woman and gone to live with her in Paris, and let her fund my PhD as she wanted.
I'd have lived in a totally different world and not moved back to my hometown.
