Oof okay a gender change is s bigger thing than I thought about when I wrote this — although the evidence points to these generally making people happier in the long run.
It still applies perfectly tho.
These point of no return decisions can also turn out to be mistakes (from with we can learn), but if skateboarding thought me anything it is that there is a class of situations where you either need to do it or you don't — as soon as you try to do it "a bit" without following through you will get hurt.
Of course the art is to recognize when each one applies, e.g. if your goal is to live healthier that doesn't mean you need to run marathons right away or you are a failure, here committing means persistence and incremental improvement.
In another class of problems the outcome depends mostly on luck, without being in the know I could imagine that non-monogamy-thing could have gone differently depending on where the people involved are with their lives.
