I read this a couple of times trying to figure out exactly how old the author was when he got married. Because I think that this could have been titled "growing up". It sounds like a young man who had dreams but didn't yet have the ability to formulate a real plan to reach those dreams. That happens to a lot of us when we are in our 20s. We have big ideas to start a band, be a professional writer, design a video game, or formulate the perfect math based investment strategy. We flounder and we struggle and eventually we either come up with a real plan or move on to something more realistic. It seems the author's issue was that he brought someone else on this journey who wasn't in the same place. Most of us go through this with our buddies, because they aren't really relying on you. When you have a partner at home though, things need to get real much quicker. Sounds like he grew up, formulated a plan and might a nice woman. If I were him, I'd try not to overthink it to much. Afraid of success, not afraid of success, who cares? You are on a good path. Keep going and enjoy.
