“I need time alone for myself”

I feel exhausted in our relationship because my wife doesn't have personal hobbies and expects me to spend all my free time with her

What I wish I knew
"how to explain my needs to her without feeling guilty"
If I could tell you one thing
"communicate your needs clearly and set boundaries"
