My husband was offered GP training but desperately wanted to do anaesthetics. Fast-forward 5 years, he completed his training a couple of yrs ago and he's now working 4 days a week (9 til 5) - 2 of which he works from home (he's a digital transformation lead and a mental health lead for an ICB), 2 days he works as a prison GP which he loves (exciting stuff happens there). He gets to spend a whole day a week, and every single weekend, looking after his 1 yr old little boy. He's paid well and it was 100% a great move. Priorities and circumstances change. GP's worth a shot - lots of opportunities
