Yeah I honestly don't know how anyone does it. I struggle with work/life balance as is. I can't imagine also adding kids and a wife to the mix.

You should definitely talk to your partner about how you’re feeling. If you don’t feel ready to do that, maybe a therapist first to help you figure out how to approach it? It’s awesome that you want to support your family, but you deserve to be happy too. Maybe there’s a way to have both!

Try to find a good therapist 💜

"Just enough not to abandon them?" If you're as unhappy as all that, they can sense it and it will affect them too. If you want to live that life, get a divorce and pay child support. Again, you aren't doing them any favors if you're that stressed out and unhappy.

Dont try and be perfect. Youre putting too much pressure on yourself. You are allowed to fail, you are allowed to feel, you are allowed to have times when you need to lean on others. You dont have to be the 'model' anything. Be the best person you can be without sacrificing your own well being. Most of all, talk. Dont keep it in. Take care and good luck

It gets easier. Maybe once the kids have moved out you could ask your wife if you can sell up and move into 2 RVs parked next to each other, you could still have your space but with your wife.
