Family is a big deal but IMHO the only real commitment in life is children. If you haven't got kids follow your dream. The harsh reality is that your current spouse isn't 'the one' because there is no such thing, we don't live in a hollywood dream and no one has friends like the friends in Friends. Don't spend your life living their life, live your own. If they are not willing to compromise why should you? I speak as a man who has kids and a supportive partner who I have both supported and been supported by. At some point you'll be rotting in a hole, what mark will you leave beyond a dark patch an archaeologist may stumble upon?
