I am 23 years old Eastern European living in the States, about to graduate from college, and have been married for one year. My husband is wonderful - very stable, family-oriented, loves me tremendously... I can't even begin to describe how wonderful he is.

I loved him, and until recently I thought I still did. I was finally able to take some time to reflect on my life and my aspirations. I am very driven, inquisitive, adventurous, and intellectual. I am very much a free spirit, and recently felt bound by my marital status. I feel like I may have made a mistake.

While I am willing to compromise (it’s essential to a healthy marriage), I think my husband’s differences aren’t workable anymore… He’s changing into a Christian fundamentalist, unwilling to raise children with an agnostic (I am leaning toward agnosticism), and I thought he had more to offer intellectually. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a decent conversation, and I feel like I am starting to fall out of love with him. He doesn’t stimulate me, doesn’t challenge me anymore. Am I greedy and irresponsible? I want to resolve these issues before I have kids…

I was in love with him, but my feelings can’t make up for the lack of connection that I feel. I feel like there’s something or someone out there for me (although I don’t think one needs a relationship to feel complete or successful). I feel I have outgrown my husband who is 29 years old. I don’t want to hurt him, but shouldn’t I be truthful to who I am? Shouldn’t I be truthful to myself and follow my heart, regardless of how scary, painful, and hurtful it may be. Please help! Thank you!
