For those who don't know, there is a huge phenomenon of analyses of Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining on YouTube, and I have been drawn down that rabbit hole of late.In my opinion, I think Nick felt constrained and unhappy by being in a monogamous marriage with five kids, and some fuse in his brain blew ("I just wanna have fun").
One common interpretation of the movie is Jack Torrance's disdain for his family for similar reasons to what you're speculating here.
That's to say nothing of the furry-related stuff and incest. I hope the comparison with Nick doesn't extend that far.
For the record, I think most of these peoples' speculations on Kubrick's The Shining are farfetched, but nonetheless interesting.
