Wife says I spend too much time at the gym

I'm there 5 days a week for about an hour. It's the only time I get to myself and I need it for my mental health. She thinks I'm being selfish but I come home a better person. Haven't had any muscle since college and finally starting to see some definition. Is 5 days a week too much or am I justified?

Grilling five nights a week would be too much. The gym an hour a day is fine.

An hour five days a week for your mental health is not excessive at all. That's like the bare minimum to stay sane with two kids.

You're taking care of yourself which makes you a better dad and husband. That's not selfish that's just smart.

5 days a week is solid but have you talked to your wife about why she thinks it's too much? Sometimes it's not about the time it's about feeling like the parenting load is uneven.
