I love to drive and had driven more than 750,000 miles before I turned 30, and now the last time I went on a road trip was way back in 2021… The 10 days that I was on the road alone, each day I would get on a guilt trip that I left the kids and wife behind… A guilt trip that my wife would have to manage everything all alone… In 40s my life is just office, home, family times, household chores and sleep. The weekends are also where we have fun together as a family or meeting other families who have kids… I am not saying I am unhappy but I let go off so many hobbies of mine that now I do not even know what do I enjoy alone. Every time I think of doing something for myself which does not involve the family, I think and then drop the plan. Is this common? Edit: I am quite happy with my family life, kids, a life-partner who is my best friend as well. Just wanted to know why do I feel guilty in taking out even an hour for myself. submitted by /u/Tight_Application751
