| 1 | Meditation’s best kept secret: learning how to open to and experience pain. Befriend your complete experience, the only way out is through.you're sitting there and for no reason feeling mad/shitty/whatever. What's going on...can it be fixed...can it be prevented. From the post: As you learn to stabilize real-time conscious awareness through mindfulness practices and anchoring your attention in your body, your ability and capacity to be with and experience pain in yourself and others will grow When you're feeling shitty, spend some time paying attention to what it is like to feel shitty as a physical experience, where it lives in yo… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 02/10/17 03:35 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - September 05, 2017good start. Systems are great. The strengths of men are in systematizing, the strengths of women are in empathizing and communicating. Moving to systems moves it onto your turf. You're never going to be able to match the endless maneuvering and negotiating a woman can manage, so why try. Also systems are much more efficient. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 28/09/17 05:04 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - September 26, 2017I know MRP talks about abundance in regards to relationships and pussy, but I need abundance with my job situation yesterday. If I were to quit tomorrow I wouldn’t have anything to fall back on. I am qualified for other jobs and was even looking at interviewing but I just can’t bring myself to walk away. I don’t know why, but I am afraid to disappoint my grandfather. I’m lost here You don't have to walk away from your job right away; building a sense of abundance for jobs is the same as with any… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 26/09/17 10:31 PM |
| 1 | How meditation, the /r/marriedredpill and the work of Jordan Peterson are helping me transform my marriageA consistent daily meditation practice is foundational to my life now, a lot of what you describe is familiar; I was able to switch out of 24/7 survival mode. I also practiced how to stop obsessing over the past. I meditated off for many ears, but treated it as a stress management framework which was very limiting. On the death of my father I began to review my life in light of his. A consistent meditation in conjunction with that and studying positive models behaviour has and is transforming my… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 21/09/17 12:42 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - September 05, 2017You buried the lede with your OYS posts; you're operating a business (at home?) with your wife in a language/culture you've learned but is native to her. If MRP is hard mode, that's nightmare mode on an overclocked machine. But what I have learned since I got plates is that this problem is to some extent unique to my wife. LTR them and run a business with them, see what happens in a few years. Plates are easy (no personal experience but it is MRP dogma), you have narrow well defined interactions… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 19/09/17 12:45 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - September 05, 2017Based on my own experiences with this: 10 minutes is fine to start but it's important to develop the capacity to do this in general; actually fully engage and listen as though this were someone entirely new that you are interested in. The Charisma Myth is a great book that covers this and like MRP, the underlying theme is that you can't fake it; you must really be what you appear to be; someone who is interested enough to pay attention A man with an attitude of abundance gives freely of his atte… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 18/09/17 02:17 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - September 12, 2017I used to have a lot of anxiety, far more than I knew, I realize now that it's gone. Consistent, long term meditation practice fixed that for me. Feelings that used to shove me around are now just indicator lights I can ignore if choose to. A method that worked for me was to pay close attention to the physical manifestations of the feelings themselves; the fine details and how they change. What is "irrational nervous energy"? Where does it live in your body? How does it change, does it have a sh… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 14/09/17 10:01 PM |
| 1 | To Each His OwnI'm far happier having some sort of model for how the world works; it's not perfect but it explains my prior experiences and it's predictive, tells me what to do to get what I want, and it seems to work. I was never angry at women, just confused. Now I'm not confused, just regretful of lost opportunities. Biological drives operate from cradle to grave in humans; AMALT, AWALT, even AGMALT, see: "Matrilateral Bias in Human Grandmothering" It's not "fair" but it is certainly the case. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 13/09/17 04:07 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - September 05, 2017WISNIFG one chapter, did "I want my meat" routine at customer svc. counter I found that intentionally being pushy and demanding really helped with assertiveness; rather than waiting for situations where I could be assertive, I created them.

| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - September 12, 2017I went swimming three times last week. It is good to keep moving but I really need to join a gym soon. Cool thing about swimming is that it's good cardio and it builds the upper body (see swimmers V); swimming started me on the whole MRP thing years ago. Swam an insane amount one summer out of what I realize now was sexual frustration, got totally ripped and wife changed her attitude to me completely. From now on I need to form my plans completely, and then let her find out when the change has a… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 13/09/17 03:09 PM |

It doesn’t line up with my goals for the next 10 years, and tbh I can do much better. If my grandfather doesn’t recognize the potential in me then I am going to be endlessly in his frame having to prove myself. That's some blue pill shit right there.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - August 15, 2017Everything is about "fairness." That is so much bullshit. Fairness is a sophomoric concept. Kids have a finely honed sense for when things are unfair to their detriment, but they somehow don’t notice all the times it’s unfair in their favour. The belief that somehow life should be adjusted for fairness is absurd. I have nothing but contempt for that idea and I make a point of expressing that to them. Any time my kids say I’m not being fair, I tell them it’s not my job to be fair, it’s my job to … | /r/MarriedRedPill | 22/08/17 10:13 AM |

His entire post and comment history is worth a read, full of insights. She won't let go of her scoreboard until you let go of yours.

I have generally introverted tendencies and have learned to demonstrate more extroverted behaviours in the last few years. I can be the life of the part but it costs and I get burned out.

And then afterwards acts innocent. This what I mean by gaslighting. This behaviour is a shit test, re-read the sidebar material. It's not conscious so it's not gaslighting, and you're failing the test. The issue is not the argument at hand, that's just an excuse.

This sort of thing was at the heart of my issues with my wife. When I solved it so many things fell into line. This shit is no more conscious on her part than it was on yours, it's a bad pattern you have together fallen into, almost a ritual that plays out in known ways.

In any event, the policy is to do something each day. Gotta ask; How are you managing to injure yourself with bodyweight, swimming and walking? Swimming is great (my program is a lot of swimming + lifting + yoga) but get coaching or at least watch some videos if you're not a trained swimmer already.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - August 01, 2017I have been working my way through the history of Hellenic philosophy and taking Zen Buddhism classes. I have found that both Stoicism and Zen Buddhism resonate with me and that they are remarkably similar in many aspects; though, they naturally diverge as well. I plan to continue my studies in these two schools of thought for the foreseeable future. Do you practice Zen meditation? Theory is informative but meditative practice can lead to profound insights.

It's upping your tolerance for it and changing your habits so that you are achieving and taking responsibility for more automatically. It's like going to the gym; Standard failure mode for the gym is; start going, get some traction, get overzealous, overcommit to a specific workout when things are going well, dread doing it when things aren't going as we… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 28/07/17 07:04 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - July 25, 2017Try to remember that perspective next time you fuck up; a day makes a big difference. This is the place to vent, not to your wife. STFU is so powerful because the consequences are never worse than victim puke. We've fucked 30 times in the past 50 days. If I had that before, I would be on cloud 9. Instead, the sex is consistently making me unhappy because it's still just duty sex, she's not enjoying it how I want her to, and I know why. The more you get the more you want, this is how it works.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - July 18, 2017Final note about therapy, I might go back. I might not. My therapist was the one who kept pushing pills and they just made me feel like a zombie.

I broke the areas out into a spreadsheet for tracking which helped a lot in mid/early phases. One of the key points is you can't take on too much stuff, and your todo looks reasonable. Even stuff she would have considered her responsibility like weeding the flower bed. I did it because I didn’t like the way it looked. Watch this; easy to get resentful.

I think somewhere deep down I'm afraid nobody will like the real me. That’s very common. When you’re doing what you want you have no excuses and you risk failing at something you care about. Failure is entirely on you and it will hurt; that's a huge risk to take. Easier to do nothing. You’re exposing who you really are to yourself and the world, that's a risk too.

I do keep fighting the urge to fantasize future approval. Could be anybody, not just my wife. My mind keeps playing out different scenarios like this while I'm doing something.

GTD style planning may help with scope and overlaod, distinguishing clearly between planning and execution, and breaking stuff into doable pieces is useful. Big picture (planning) is needed but it's overwhelming to keep it in mind while you're trying to finish a task. The relationship hasn’t changed at all. This is not your goal. Your goal is to fix your shit and be a man. Your wife's behaviour may improve or not. Observe, proceed accordingly. You need nobody's approval but your own.

The person that you really need to convince of your competence is yourself, so easy wins help a lot at the beginning and will give you momentum. If it's more than a day's work make a plan; budget & time. This is for your own purposes as you've clearly not though stuff out as much as needed previously.

Problem is, some mornings I still feel sucky which keeps me from being productive. Alcohol messes up sleep you're subtracting an hour or two from your effective sleep time.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - March 28, 2017There isn't much value in planking beyond 2 minutes. I was given a lot of planks by my physiotherapist for back issues and as soon as I could hold them past two minutes he'd make them harder and more unstable; this requires engagement of more secondary muscles for stabilization. Front plank, elbows on an exercise ball, feet on a bosu (half) ball, one foot up. Side plank, elbow on a bosu ball, other arm up, leg up. Try holding those for 10 minutes. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 28/03/17 03:15 PM |

I recommend the opposite; rather than focusing on yourself (as you are practicing here) learn to focus fully on the person you are interacting with. The root of social anxiety is often self consciousness, you end up trying to mentally model how the person you're interacting with is seeing you. You can sidestep that by focusing outward.

That's really damn interesting. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 03/03/17 02:11 PM |
| 5 | Fuck ItGood post. Only recently realized that confidence comes from not the knowledge that things will work out as planned, but the knowledge that you can handle it if they don't. "This may not work" has become "I wonder what will happen". Usually works. Sometimes it's a catastrophe. Whatever, I pick up the pieces and move on. Sometimes it's hilarious. Sometimes it mutates into the unexpected. I'd rather have an interesting failure than be bored by the certainty of inactivity. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 03/03/17 03:14 AM |
| 1 | Change or DieOur official family calendar is a online google calendar, one calendar for each family member. everything goes on there, my rule is if it's not on the calendar it ain't happening. Everyone can edit their own calendar. I book stuff pre-emptively to grab the slot and discuss if it might be a problem. I'm already planning out the summer. It has been huge in terms of reducing stress and smoothing planning. The benefits are huge; mainly daily situational awareness for me. My wife (as many do) talks a… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 25/02/17 07:27 PM |
| 7 | Excellent Boy BooksHeinlein wrote some great boy books early on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinlein_juveniles . His later stuff gets really weird. Grew up in the 70's and the juvenile fiction they were pushing on us then was crap. I ended up reading a lot of old SF instead. Starship Troopers is fantastic (I'll pretend that shit movie never happened), and Tunnel in the sky are particularly good. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 25/02/17 05:12 PM |
| 20 | Less shitty than my last postNice. It's really that simple. (edit) Also; note the almost complete lack of mention of wife or her response to this. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 25/02/17 05:02 PM |
| 1 | Borderline Career BetaThanks for the reference; Anti-Dump's Machine is golden, if a little unpolished. I always read the original sources when I'm researching something; the original insights often get badly distorted in derivative works. I can see what got grabbed and productized, and how it was diluted. | /r/askMRP | 23/02/17 01:31 PM |
| 1 | Control and manipulationThanks! I'll add it to my list. Looks like there are clear parallels between REBT and buddhist outlooks and methods, need to read this in more detail. http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/bct/7/4/8.pdf The parallels aren't surprising, we all have the same basic brain architecture and techniques for fixing issues are going to be rediscovered. Year or so ago I was describing to a social worker friend a technique I'd come up with for getting rid of some bad recurrent thinking patterns, based on some bud… | /r/askMRP | 20/02/17 09:46 PM |
| 1 | Control and manipulationIt's floating in my mind to recast and rewrite this whole thing and make it a main post. It deserves a main post. I recently started looking into mindfulness meditation to see if that can get factored in there somehow. I want to actually try it first to see if it works. Holy fuck does it ever work. I've rebuilt my brain using it. I've had a serious meditation practice for the last few of years (Vipassana, ~30m/day, various retreats) and it is the core of my changes. It's like a gap has been adde… | /r/askMRP | 20/02/17 09:27 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - February 14, 2017Nice start. This post feels very much like where I was a few years ago. Shit man you've got an awesome ride ahead of you. Do the work and you'll get a lot better. At this point it is all about unfucking yourself. Until you've made substantial progress in that direction trying to understand her behaviour relative to you is pointless. I had good results treating my wife as a problem employee that I wasn't currently in a position to get rid of and who wasn't likely to quit. Tolerate, manage, don't … | /r/MarriedRedPill | 20/02/17 09:06 PM |
| 1 | Control and manipulationThis is great stuff and well written, created an account just to upvote and comment. What you describe is very similar to my experiences and I would have benefited a lot from reading it a few years ago and I think a lot of men here will too. Have you considered merging the above and posting this as a comment? | /r/askMRP | 20/02/17 08:29 PM |
