I still feel like something's missing.
I feel like I'm in that point in Harvest Moon (or Story of Seasons) where you got the girl and the credits roll by.
I beat the game got the credits but then the game just continues.
I got the wife, I got the kids, I got the house, I got the good job (albeit stressful). Is everything perfect? No, but it's a lot better than a lot of other people out there.
I got myself an office space now, a record player with a collection starting, and a lazy boy (I've ALWAYS wanted one with the old man crank and I got it now).
I'm 34 now and everything seems to be going in the right direction but something still feels like it's missing so I'm working on pumping out kid #4.
Anyone else hitting that point in their life where it seems like you have it all yet something's still not quite right?
Wait, am I gay?

You're missing something alright... An 18-yr old girlfriend on the side and a fast car. Welcome to midlife - you started a little early, but please enjoy your stay.

He's gonna end up with an 18 year old car and a fast girlfriend.

But seriously OP, your life sounds infinitely more stable and on track than mine, so I wouldn't dare trying to offer you any type of advice. I'm sure someone else will come by and chime in.

Keep yourself busy with the husband and dad jobs, boiled down you giving your everything to make sure your family is ok and safe is exactly what nature designed you to do. Having a wife that appreciates you goes a long way also.

The odds are against you as a man, you will most likely die before your wife and kids, God willing if you know what i mean. Your wife needs a house for the kids and grandchildren to come back to if they need. The kids need an account you add to for them.

I constantly am working towards either bettering the house, growing veggies or adding money to accounts for the kids. You won't be here forever so don't waste your time on being selfish, man caves or cars or whatever.

Take time for yourself but I subscribed to the theory my life wasn't mine anymore the moment my daughter was born.

On topic:
I was at kind of that point where you are (well, almost anybody with a family has), and like you said, life is a stream of experiences, and doesn't have some nice and cute end somewhere in the middle when you got all things that Disney or "Jesus" told you to be happy.

Some people will tell you to just cope and make your peace with the fact that this will be your life until your death.
I could not stand that whole bullshit, and broke away from it because it killed me mentally.

I agree with this 100% but at the same time I'm aware that my mental sanity is the glue that holds the family together. If I neglect myself completely then it's just a matter of time.

You need god. Your material values are the work of Satan.

That's why you feel empty inside, like stouffers.

I'm very religious actually.
My wife and kids have everything they want. They're spoiled within acceptable limits. Not going to raise brats either.
