You have responsibilities to a family now. You have to think about that first.
You can think about your family AND have a job you like. Just because you have family responsibilities doesn't mean you have to be miserable and not do something else you want to do. It's thinking like this that makes for a lot of miserable people. Also, the significant other has to be supportive. If they are not, they are not worth being with. I dunno, maybe I am spoiled with my honey. My SO and I are having a baby in a month and if he wanted to up and quit flying and go back to school to restore cars (which is an interest of his), I would do WHATEVER I COULD to support that and make it happen. You only have one life to live so you should make it good. Don't limit yourself......unfortunately too many people do.
