Thank you for all the suggestions. I had not heard of Ashfall but will take a look. I know my kids like Hatchet so I'll also look at Guts. I know we do have Where the Red Fern Grows. Since we homeschool, I can quite literally just hand my kids a book and say "Read this, it's part of your school work" - although they generally love reading anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion. I believe my kids already have that one; my second boy is quite a bookworm (odd mix of jock, geek, and bookworm). Of course he's also the most alpha of the three boys and has girls falling all over him, not even a teenager yet.

Thanks - I will take a look at them. Haven't heard of Maze Runner.

Nothing you can do, and frankly not your business, he's a big boy and can make his own decisions. When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd trade the world For a good thing he's found If she is bad, he can't see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend If he puts her down

Tell her you don't like it and that you want to go to the photo shoot with her.

If your gut is telling you that they're throwing a shit test at you, just hold your frame and see what happens? What else would you do?

This kind of sounds like the plot of the first half of a rom-com. She obviously likes you. And you like her, or else you wouldn't be so frustrated / angry. She wants a boyfriend. Ideally she thinks she wants "male name <3 <3 <3". But she probably also wants you, except you are unwilling to be her boyfriend. So she's really conflicted. My advice - tell her the following: You really appreciate studying with her, it's helped your grades a lot. Say "Whatever happens from here, thank you for all your…

Yeah, I accidentally bought a trilby. In my defense, Amazon said it was a fedora, and I couldn't quite tell from the picture. I have a fedora now and it looks better (and fits!) Where I live, lots of men legitimately wear cowboy hats, so a fedora would not be entirely out-of-place.

It's now a symbol of being a loser, so it's dead. OK, that makes more sense. Thank you for explaining.

Fedora? This can't be serious, right? OK, I really don't understand. This book appears on several suggested reading lists, particularly for those of us who are married. This is literally the VERY FIRST SUGGESTION he makes. I follow it... and get mocked for it?

No, not trolling, looking for honest feedback. And hey, I've gotta start somewhere, right? Might as well start on the things that are quickest to implement. It will take months to get physically fit, but I can make smaller behavioral changes immediately. There's scientific evidence that using cash has a different psychological effect on a person than swiping a credit card does. In my case, I suspect that pulling out cash from my wallet will have a different psychological effect on my wife as com…

your wife already knows how much you make My theory is that it will feel different to her, to see the cash vs just numbers on my bank website. The cash is more tangible. (Here is some evidence to back this up). I'm not sure, just a theory. the fedora thing I'm serious. I actually like it, it just didn't fit right. And I am trying to dress better - my typical day-to-day outfit has been shorts and a polo shirt. Today my dad gave me a hat which is a little too small for him, but fits me pretty well…

This sword can cut both ways if you botch a repair. I have a funny, but humiliating, story about replacing my leaky shower faucet handles. Even though I was ultimately successful, it definitely did not raise my SMV.

Most of the bills are on auto-pay. I think that's the only one that requires manual intervention. She started keeping the budget and paying the bills several years ago when I was sick for a few months (cancer treatment) and I just let her keep doing it. Weak, I know. I plan to get on top of that on Jan 1. I would do it earlier but it's not practical for logistical reasons (long family vacation in early Dec).

My neighbor is disabled and uses a wheelchair. His wife is quite attractive, at least if young thin blondes with long legs are your type. He's been disabled at least for the last several years. They have a toddler as well. My neighbor does have a lot of upper-body strength and seems to have lots of friends, so maybe that compensates for the disability.

Ironwood collection of Alpha moves Just downloaded it. FWIW, if you have Amazon Prime, Kindle versions of this, and a lot of other TRP-related books, are included with an additional $10/mo.

I do have an office but it's 45 minutes away so I avoid the drive when I can. But maybe consistently going in a couple of times per week would work. I just really hate going in - long drive, bland work environment, I usually have five people that want to come talk to me about various things, so then I don't get anything done... OTOH there is a coffee shop near here; I could use that as my "office". turning into a recluse No kidding; many days I don't even leave the house. Like not even to go che…

Thanks. I think I screwed up at this point: She'd been stomping around for an hour, so when I finished what I was doing, I asked her what was wrong OTOH I didn't want to reward her bad behavior by just starting to help out, teaching her "If I stomp and yell enough I get what I want". How would you have handled that?

Thank you for this detailed reply. ♂ When you failed to report in to her I think you're dead on; it's all about respect. If she'd come in and said "Hey could you give me some help?" I would have said "Sure, I'm in the middle of something right now but I'll be glad to help when I'm done" and then followed through. But it was her expectation that I'd drop whatever I was doing, and the implication that what I was doing wasn't important, that set her off. feel a need to explain yourself to her My po…

Thanks. When she was angry at me on Friday I did say "I won't apologize for working" and if she brings it up again, I'll put it more clearly, like that.

Ah, thank you. I've read that before but didn't recognize the excerpt.

Sorry for my ignorance - where is that from? (FWIW, I do take some pride in remaining calm during an argument/fight, which infuriates her.) Are you suggesting that when / if she wants to discuss this I just say "I don't owe you an explanation of how I spend my time"? Or just what, specifically?

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
