Man, I know how you feel. My ex GF was a bit demanding (the same way Mt. Everest is a bit tall) and I figured I would be happy if I could just change myself to meet those demands. I did, and stayed with her for a couple years. Then I started revertig back to being myself because I couldn't take not being me anymore. It resulted in her breaking up with me, surprise of surprises.

I'm now of the mind that if you can't stay together without changing yourself, you're definitely better off without them. Sure, you'll have to make compromises and such, but compromising who you are is *not* worth it. Now I'm on to the challenge of actually finding someone that likes who I am and vice versa. This may take a while ;-)

P.S. - If you ever move to Connecticut, I have an extra bedroom in my apt. Something tells me that's a bit farther than you want to move, though ;-)
