I liked working from home at first, but after so long it becomes harder and harder to leave your work at “work” when your workplace is also your home
That sounds like a “you” problem. I just hit the shutdown button on my laptop at 17:00 and close the lid, and boom I’ve left work and magically instantaneously transported to my home.

Work … on … weekends?
I think your problem is that you’re a workaholic.

Its not a uniquely “me” problem, I’ve talked to plenty of other people who feel the same way as I do. I’m not talking about putting in extra time when I’m not supposed to be at work. I’m just talking about how it “feels” to constantly by in your workplace like that. I personally think it kinda sucks. I’m sure other people can deal with it fine, but I live in a small house where I don’t really have a separate room like a basement office or something I can dedicate to being my workspace. I might feel differently about it if I had the space.
Also, I work in an industry that requires 24/7 coverage, we keep the Internet service running for hundreds of thousands of customers and businesses. I very very rarely put in more than 40 hours a week, but there are times where I need to be on call over the weekend in case there is an emergency. And when I do, I take time off later in the week to make up for it.
