what these guys usually mean in these "i need a life" threads is that poker is too much hard work, so they're quitting in hopes of finding an easy job.
the variance and uncertainty is rough, but is the poker grind is worse than a bad job? forget the 9-5, try working 6-8, or join the military. where as soon as you get home, you eat, drink, and go to sleep to get ready for the next day (and if you chose the latter option, you sometimes don't even get to go home). those are difficult, soul-crushing jobs, tons of people have them, and they hate their job every day and want to get away. there is nothing romantic about this.
as a poker pro you may have failed to balance life and poker. imo, get better at balancing. there are tons of people who don't have a nice balance and unlike poker players, they don't have any choice.
