Are you on the autism spectrum? Being completely serious. Running is for getting fit. Nope. I mentioned it because such exercise is helpful for depression. Not for getting fit. Being fit is for showing off being fit. Nope. Doing something fun and doing something with somebody else is as good as mutually exclusive. Nope. Reading is for getting skills, skills are for showing off having skills. Nope.

Horseshit. Who's talking about Ferraris? What is with you and impressing / pleasing others? Did I say anything about impressing anyone? Did I say anything about making enough money? About making enough to buy a fucking Ferrari? You're clearly too much of a idiot to ever afford a Ferrari anyway. (And no, that doesn't matter.) So the point stands. Your head is completely jacked. You're a) clearly obsessed with impressing/pleasing others, because that's all you talk about and b) discouraged and des…

Nope. If you ever did anything, you'd find there are other reasons. Just do something. Action is an existential answer. It is impossible to to give yourself a satisfying purpose in the abstract. Also, your preoccupation with the idea that "all the things people do" is intended to impress/please others suggests that you yourself are preoccupied with impressing/pleasing others. And are probably afraid of failing at that. Get action.

Take the focus off her and back onto yourself. Agree with this. OP you're trying to "calibrate" how much "beta to express" vs. "callousness." Fool's errand. You need to figure out how you do you. Develop a solid sense of yourself and improve your body and character. This is the point of most of the sidebar. After you've gotten your feet on the ground, these questions answer themselves.

Trying to condition her behavior Seems like a bad idea. What about conditioning your own behavior?

I spend entirely too much time reading here and it hurts my productivity Reading, reading, but not the books. And, it probably took you 10-15 minutes to write that OYS. That's a chapter or two.

Reading a lot of discussions on RP and that allows me to analyze and learn, but I have not read any of the books on the sidebar yet Sounds like bullshit.

Fitness Been stalling out on weight loss for two weeks or so, since getting back from vacation. Damn weekends. We’ve had a number of parties and family gatherings. I need to own what I’m doing with my diet in those environments. This week, hitting macros absolutely no excuses. Lifting is on track, consistent on 5x5s. I posted earlier about deadlifting less frequently due to back soreness. This was a mistake. After being scolded here for being a bitch, I committed to just running the damn program…

Just a thought here - why not encourage the farming where you are now? Has she tried to grow enough to sell? I get you're already gardening, but scaling to making a living is a totally different animal. And spending all day online reading and posting about this dream is nothing like actually doing the thing. You might find that the work and difficulty does all the arguing for you. Maybe she finds it hard as hell and change her mind, maybe she finds it invigorating and gets healthy as a result. N…

there's more to life than maximizing money returns - there is maximizing your effectiveness toward outcomes you care about. Totally open to that. Most people fly blind. And investments can have non-monetary objectives (feed the hungry or something). But the post sure sounded to me like we would make more money by avoiding those dubious manager fees. And he scoffed at the idea of wanting to beat index funds. Let's not forget "not beating the market" means "making less money." Or perhaps more impo…

Just because Oprah, Dave Ramsey, and graduates of "top tier" business schools love and recommend index funds doesn't mean they're suitable for every investor, every objective, every time. This is absolutely true. Researching individual stocks, investing small amounts, and learning why they move the way they do is not gambling. It's a modest way to learn, build confidence, and gain a working understanding. If learning and gaining a working understanding of business and the stock market is your go…

I'm a CFA and have an MBA from a tier 1 business school, and work in investment management. Believe me or believe this guy. Picking stocks for the average non-professional is gambling. Like to gamble? Fine. Just know that gambling isn't investing. Maybe there's a broader message here? Do hard things? Study, learn what you can, be informed about your options? I can buy that. The single stock financial advice is shit though. But don't think for a second you're going to beat an index fund.

I find it extremely interesting as a discussion of what men value, And 99.9% of us generally are valuing the exact same thing. Not really. He, and others, disagree with marriage as a "relationship strategy." That's the discussion of what men value, and people are at odds. Laws, prenups, taxes - these become relevant only if the basic strategy - long-term, publicly committed in some way - were sound. You're not going to get 99.9% of the guys on this thread to agree with that. To boot, sounds like…

disagreeing with marriage as a relationship strategy. and My woman will be my wife, no government needed. I don't get it. What is a wife then?

The whole discussion of marriage vs. LTR, I think it is just a legal and financial decision. I'm anti-government and I couldn't care less if the government thinks I'm officially married or not. I'd be perfectly happy to just get some rings, throw a party, tell friends and family we're married, and leave it at that. Most of this discussion vacillates wildly around the question whether "marriage" entails a government stamp. I very much agree it doesn't need to. How many of the anti-marriage crowd …

Marriage has almost never been a non-legal contract. Legal in the sense that every society from time immemorial has made a public declaration, with attendant, agreed-upon costs of dissolution, part of the initiation of a marriage.

I would do it again and am in it for the long haul. Let's not forget marriage facilitates the optimal environment for childrearing. It also can be rewarding for husband and wife. The first point doesn't get discussed much here. Kids fare best raised in stable, two-parent (male and female) households. The data demonstrates this unequivocally. Societies have always had marriage like institutions (today, a “piece of paper”) to a) control sexual behavior so that kids are born into marriage-like rela…

Physical – on track Last week was vacation, so discipline was on hiatus by design. Nice win: took wife said she was struck at the pool by how much better I look. (Turned out well later.) I still think of myself as a fatass, but progress is progress. Didn’t gain weight on the trip, hovering around 191, I think because we were walking around all day. As of lifts this week hadn’t lost any strength. So, back at it. Re: lifting, I’ve been analyzing and reading less, and just focusing on the program a…

First, you shouldn't be justifying yourself to your wife I was trying not to do that by leaving, and texting sparsely. I failed by leaving like an asshole, texting like an asshole too often. Me (8:25pm): at bar, I'll get home safe. Enjoy catching up on _[Downton Abbey]__. Yeah this is where I want to be. thanks

You spent more of your backstory on complaining, bitching and moaning than you have even mentioning anything of value you've done in the last 7 months. True. I knew I was trying to "be stoic / hold frame" and instead had acted like an asshole. And was reaching out to get yelled out. This belongs in an OYS, but since you asked. Since October: Dropped from 207 in December to 189 as of this morning. Did a Dexa scan a year ago, and I was 27%BF. My lean mass was 155, and it’s probably higher now, but…

J10H, I don’t know who you are or how you always seem to have time for this, but I do appreciate it. So let's be clear: you're struggling to establish new boundaries with your wife because you've been so shitty about setting them in the past. Yep. I bet you think you're a rational and emotionally stable in your professional career, or with your kids, but when it comes to your own happiness, you're just a ridiculous emotional wreck. Yep. Now. Do you know why you struggle? Because you don't even r…

Shutting down the exchange is where I suck. I live a pretty beta life, work my ass off, and generally she and I have a good relationship and hang out every evening. It's once in a while I feel I'm "owed" a night out or something that I blow it.

I think this is where I'm at, time to move on from college friends but still open to going out with them when the chance arises

I did flip on that. I was annoyed about being blown off at first and still wanted to go out.

Little bit about me. 31, wife is 30. Married after college when we were 23. Four kids (girls), ages 6, 4, 2, and 7 mos. Never really had a DB, but the post-birth dry spells have always been rough, and considerably longer than the “prescribed” 6 weeks. I found MRP after our youngest was born. This is my first OYS, and a long one. Thanks to those who read it. Physical *(Own) Lifting. From late 2014-mid 2015 I was doing Crossfit. Haters hate, but I got a lot out of it. The thing that mattered most …

Well for what it's worth, it was about race. Beyonce made Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers, and Malcolm X shout outs.

Noted. I've been reading, lifting, and lurking for awhile, but I consider myself a noob. I guess I thought that's who askMRP is for.

I think the emphasis on her feelz is what struck me. And that's what my wife and female coworkers re-iterated - he was disregarding her emotions. I'm thinking no. He was just a lazy slob who didn't own his shit. Which isn't the same thing as "not considering her feelings."

Yeah, pretty much devoured it. I credit this place with the realization that I was 'waiting' for certain good things in my life (fitness, marriage, and career) to come to me, instead of taking responsibility for it. I've got a solid marriage to a woman who wouldn't know that she's RP - she wants a leader and knows it - and four daughters. One example win - 4 months ago I unapologetically started prioritizing working out in the evenings 3-4 nights a week over hanging out with her, including spend…
