What stands out to me about this story is how you perceived the situation before. You were fairly positive and grateful...children, house, good enough sex life. You saw genuine contentment. And that makes your wife's betrayal all the more sickening to me. Congratulations, you became something fierce through all this. If I had any advice it would be to never sleep with your ex even if it is easy! In fact, make a point to deny her and turn her down. End the conversations about getting back togethe…

The tl;dr made me laugh. Ancient texts are extremely old and the world they were born out of is very murky. The more I read about the ancient world, the more I realize just how little we know about it. However, my interest is always piqued by guys like Stockdale who found meaning in these old books. What's kind of cool is that we know they came from a masculine time, so we can trust that they won't be fouled up by feminist garbage.

James Stockdale was a POW who wrote accounts of his time in prison. There are pdfs online and he draws heavily in epictetus. You might check it out. They are quick reads.

One of my favorite posts on this sub. Reminds me of the idea that pain isn't a bad thing, but an engine to find the best in ourselves. Random recommendation along the same lines: On Pain by Ernst Junger, or even Storm of Steel.

His response is perfect and really sums up while I have moved on from relationships in my past. Ultimately you're betting on yourself, and that's what this sub is all about.

He says "People who are attracted to you will stand in your path." The far harder lesson is: "People who you are attracted to will sometimes stand in your path." Don't ever forget to stand up for yourself.

I think this sub sometimes overlooks how important personal therapy is to becoming the man you want to be. Books like John Bradshaw's Homecoming and Nathaniel Branden's The Six Pillars of Self Esteem force you to explore the less pleasant points of self-improvement and self-knowledge, but it is imperative to being happy as a person. I'd also add listening to Stefan Molyneux's call in shows on Free Domain Radio, but be prepared to be think critically as he makes some challenging and provocative a…

Aside from the places where I am at fault, I've realized that I still give women I date too much rope, as someone above said. I've read billions of red pill articles over the past 9 months to a year, and it is still insanely hard. Thanks for your post, you're spot on.

So I failed, and the relationship is ruined? What do? I know, I know, this is all because of oneitis.
/r/askTRP14/08/14 04:25 PM

probably true, but I feel that way because of hypergamy, i.e. i'm great, but who is just around the corner who is greater?

Your gut is right! I trust my gut, but my gut gets me in deep shit, you know what I mean?

What can I do? I work out, I'm extremely intelligent, I'm handsome, I am not incredibly successful in a career, but I'm on my way. The truth is, it is a no win situation. Even confident men have women leave them for the flavor of the week...a rich architect is underminded by a dirty musician, a muscular man is left for a skinny pot head. So you're right, I'm a bit insecure, but it's because it's a demoralizing process.

It's that the sacrifice is expected - that's what gets me. Edit: As illimitableman once wrote on this board: "Man's love is expected to be sacrificial, woman's isn't."

Same career path as me. No CS background, but I taught myself java, got an Oracle certification, and learned some frameworks as well. Interviews are challenging as hell, so that's why I'm sticking with QA/Business Analyst stuff right now. It is a challenge, even for people with CS degrees, I think, but it can be done. Best of luck to you.

I know, right? This is the biggest struggle. I would have no problem letting women go if the prospect of children weren't involved, but oneitis creeps up when I start to think that this woman is the best one available to have children with.

I love your posts Archwinger because you're basically saying: "Look, I'm not fucking with you. I'm not selling a goddamn thing. I'm being completely honest. This is the situation I'm in and this is reality. Save yourselves, or risk making a terrible, terrible mistake." Always look forward to what you add to this sub.

Yes...they exploit your affection. This describes a situation I am in now perfectly. I don't think I've ever heard it put that well, but it is the equivalent of a controlling man. Except hers is built around the victim card..

Women desire a dominant man, but they also hate to admit it. Submitting goes against all they have been indoctrinated to believe is good for women, yet they can't help but want it. So you display dominance to a woman, take the lead, and she will at once love it, and resist it viciously. It is rarely a smooth acceptance.

Like I said, bitterness and whining...whatever you want to call it...it's good that men have a place to go. This sub is about self-improvement and no one agrees on exactly the prescription. In fact, hardly anyone in this sub is "alpha", sorry to say. So not every comment is going to be life-changing and gospel. It's just some dude trying to navigate through this shit. Trying to choke down the red pill. Luckily, this board is moderated well. They actively try to maintain a high quality.

yeah, exactly, which is cool and which is why I upvoted your post. The whining bothers me too until I realize that men have very very few outlets to complain about this shit and to get even minor things about women off their chest.

Well I think all you can do is demand a relationship on your terms. It's not completely magic. There are always chances she rejects it and you have to walk away.

Well accepting it, especially when you have spent decades believing reality to be other than what it is, is considerably more difficult than just grabbing your nuts and crying "Alpha" to the world. This is a space where men can freely talk things out, including their reservations and weaknesses, and it is no use shaming them. They obviously need the camaraderie.

The allure of oneitis cannot be discounted, and this is the reason men have trouble accepting reality. It's been said before, but for many men it is harder to give up the fantasy of a committed and loving relationship than their sweet girlfriend's who have adopted a cold and pragmatic (ruthless?) approach long ago. Even seemingly good women with an acceptable partner count and who grew up in a traditional family will disappoint you. More often than not, they will disrespect you with white lies o…

This is a perfect analogy for getting over oneitis also. There is no doubt that it is painful, but be patient, take your lumps, and you'll feel a ton better.

Cut ties with both of them. Burning bridges is a healthy part of moving on in your life, even if that means burning bridges with that whole circle of friends. Replace the pain with self-improvement, mainly reading and exercising. But most of all, distance yourself from this situation. When you look back on it, you'll be relieved you did.

Bad situation to expose yourself to Being a man definitely means recognizing this. As for huge dudes who want to fight, learn to throw a mean fucking elbow.

Thanks for the reply. I'm 28 and she is 27. I know I will be able to move on, but I would be upset by losing her (in private of course). But you and Patrice are right. I just don't like the vulnerable position.

As a rule of thumb you should respond to her with about 2/3 of the words/affection/etc that she gives to you.

I would say learn databases. Many people suggest programming, but it has been a bear to break into the market. Databases are easier to learn in a similar field.

Yes, that's it. I assume it is a comparison. But mostly I hate that beta impulse it gives me. Like it shakes my frame more than I want it to. I'll work on it so I get better about it in time.
