I tell people I stay late because of the workload. The truth is quieter than that. At work I know what I'm doing, I'm good at it, the rules make sense. Home is harder right now, full of things I don't know how to fix. So I find one more thing to finish, and I put off going back.
More people experience this than they realize.
You stay at work partly to avoid a harder reality at home.
