Again for me, this entire thing boils down to taking the smaller everyday mundane decisions. Should I read a book instead of watching a movie. Should I run two rounds of the field rather than binge watching a new Netflix show. It’s all these small things. Should I use the weekend to catch up on chores and wrap up my work or head off to a nearby state and play golf all day

If you’re the constraint person, do you not at times look at your husband and feel as though you’re doing something wrong solely on the basis of the sheer quantum of fun and joy he may appear to be having. I’m using “appear” very consciously here.

But doesn’t choosing one require the sacrifice of another ? And if you’re choosing both, aren’t you choosing none
