I think the key point to be taken from your post is that it is perfectly possible to be "true to yourself" whilst changing your external behaviours and even thought processes. It requires recognition that the way we behave and think is not who we are.
Who are we then? What is it that defines a person, if not the way we behave and think? I agree with what you are saying, but if a person cannot identify with themselves in some way, what is left? Who is it that the woman falls in love with? I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around this problem (see my last post in this thread). I suppose the answer may lie somewhere in the fact that one man's maturity is another man's devolution, and vice versa... hmm. I just don't know.
