Feels like an eternity (Mindsin - part. 3)

[mindsin]

With regard to GAL - both my wife and I are interested in playing tennis again. We used to play together all the time, but it's been a couple of years since. Would you advise that I approach her about playing?

"Hey. How about we hit some balls together after work one of these days? We're both rusty and could use the practice before joining a league."

Do you think that's too much pursuit?

Another point I want to make is that my after-work schedule is very busy. When I take the kids home, between homework, bathing, reading, etc., it is a full evening. I'm afraid that if I start engaging in other hobbies or activities, it will take that valuable time away from my children.

Weekends are also tough because my W typically spends one day every weekend with the OM, and the other day with the family. I cherish my family weekend days. When my wife is out with the OM, I am left with the kids. I could certainly leverage my in-laws (who live locally) to watch them, but my W doesn't like that. That was the source of our scheduling conflict last week. She wanted her parents to rest on the weekends and didn't feel it was OK for me to drop them off there while I spend a day with my friends.
