Reading FB? One thing beta/bluepill relationships do very well is paint this awesome picture on social media.... my wife tells me all the time about how bad her friends relationships are... but you wouldn't know it to read their FB page...

In my opinion, only reason to get married is to have kids.... Do you want kids? Do you want to have kids with this LTR?

Because that's how I was raised.... without respect you have nothing. Who's going to hire you? Who's going to trust you?

I have lots of work to do. My main problem is I lack purpose outside my kids. I need to find something that is more fulfilling for me personally.... I just don't know how to do that. The gym is my escape, the weights don't lie and they don't judge. You can either lift it or you can't. I read some great advice yesterday that I'm going to focus on. I need to work on ignoring the BS, it is hard for me to do though.... especially when I assume its some keyboard cowboy fat ass...

I've learned a lot from MRP/ASKMRP, it is hard for me not to respect the advice given here. I've also worked hard all my life to gain respect... and I do see your point.

Yes, posted yesterday and certain people didn't like my lifting numbers because it didn't align with theirs. Certain people said I should post a pic... well here it fucking is... Now i want to see them post a pic.

I've actually put my money where my mouth is... haven't seen anyone else do it... anyone can type numbers on a keyboard. 300,1200,150 see its easy...

Good points... its funny, I knocked her off the pedestal when I started this journey and because I don't treat her like I used to... I just assumed she was still off the pedestal. I never used to care about her exes, or what she would do if we divorced. Hell I was pissed when she would say no to sex in the past, but it didn't bother me that she didn't initiate.

No childhood drama to really speak of... typical american divorce, but mother/father got a long great, never fought over custody. He would actually stay with us when he came to visit even though my mother was remarried. I had a great stepdad too... The rest needs more thought...

Well she's a VP at work. Very successful at her job which she manages daily. Like I said, I don't know much about drinking or alcoholics, but I seem to be the only one who knows when she's drunk. To my knowledge she doesn't drink before or at work and her attitude when she first gets home would support that she doesn't. She is actively trying to mask or act more pleasant when she drinks. I can see her thinking before responding or correcting herself as I won't tolerate disrespect sober or not. Y…

Thank you! Yes I read my previous post and realize that I was complaining about the same thing. I just thought by the time I got to this level of fitness I would have either not cared or she'd be constantly initiating... I will re-read the way of the superior man. When I initially read everything I did it with haste and obviously wasn't far enough along to internalize properly...

Actually initially as posted in another post your right. I only did bench and some legs because I wanted to enter bench pressing comps and it was my strongest asset. However over the last 5 years I have been working my weak points which is back and bi's... For years I over trained my chest, my shoulders rolled forward and it gave me problems.... NOW I work back and bi's much harder than chest. I'm not longer infatuated with BP. I don't do it anymore, not even on a flat bench with dumbbells... If…

Whats the matter, not comfortable with your sexuality? Afraid of a man getting to close to you... might harbor some real feelings you don't want to admit to?

If I was BS then I would have just said... I Bench 315 for 1RP etc... I posted MY real numbers... if YOU don't like them... FUCK OFF! I didn't hide anything... I could have easily said 245X10 for bench but I didn't... I said DECLINE bench because that's what I fucking do. I'm happy with my strength and GAINS. No longer see the point in 1RP Max! And I don't see how I owe you any spank bank material.... get it on your own...

Because now I know when she drinks... I see the signs plus I'm more cognizant of the situation. Before I had never been around someone who drinks. No one in my family drank daily. She mixes her drinks with her water so it doesn't look like a "drink" All I knew before is that she gets real bitchy at night... for years I didn't know why. Look, its not an ideal situation, but it is what it is for now. I'm managing it the best I can with the knowledge I have.

Yes.... I do enable my wife.... I just don't see anyway out of it at this juncture... and I'd like to point out that we've covered this before and its off topic.

Decline bench is easier on my shoulder. Dumbbells for incline at 85lbs, does that make you feel better? Hack Squat because my hips after years of marathon training don't allow me to do real squats. Smith machine... because that is the only OHP I feel comfortable doing without a spotter. As I stated in another post, their is another machine that i do OHP on which allows me to do much more weight. I've been lifting for 20+years. Don't hate the player, hate the game if you can't hang...

I realize my mission in life should be more than my sex life with my wife. I've accomplished so much over the years... could basically retire right now on the short side of 40. I've put a lot of focus and effort into training for this obstacle course.... and you are correct, the satisfaction of my progress is quickly met with dissatisfaction. My life will be a lot busier and more fulfilling once I start coaching again. Now that I'm reflecting more, my kids where gone for 1 month this summer. Tha…

She is high functioning... she doesn't' slur or appear drunk. It took me years to figure it out.... That coupled with the fact that when I'm home she doesn't discipline them. I'd rather me have to explaining/teach them over the years than leave them alone with her post divorce.
/r/askMRP16/07/18 02:07 PM
1

Frankly because lifting is more important to me than my wife's problems. Also I don't see how its relevant to my neediness. That being said, the main boundary is her not disciplining the kids after 1 drink. IF she has a problem, she must defer to me and I will handle it if I feel it needs handling.

True, I do use her as a barometer to my accomplishments... or lack their of.

I haven't reached that point where I think it would be better to uproot my kids and go through a nasty divorce. Sure part of me loves the idea of being single and fucking new pussy... but I'm confident she would get at least 50% custody of the kids and who is going to enforce boundaries when I'm not there?

I don't have a spotter. I do OHP on Smith machine twice a month. Rest of the time its 50-60lb dumbbells OHP. Their is also another shoulder machine that you can add free weight to. Each hand is independent. For some reason I'm able to a lot more weight on that and didn't want to use it for comparison purposes.

I do put to much effort into our sex life. I've been searching for other goals to fill my void. I actually lost the weight because I'm training for the CTG (Conquer The Gauntlet) obstacle race. I've done it 2 years running and want to complete more obstacles this year. My work is very boring right now.... so idle minds and all I get, however I maintain this job so I can pick my kids up from school and continue coaching their team sports. I have more challenging job offers, but they wouldn't allo…

She sounds insecure and is trying to validate herself to you verbally and or make you jealous. Either way, you must be doing something right to get this response.

The biggest difference honestly has been other men. More head nods, holding the door for me, basically just more respect in general. As for women... less shit tests... wife is more affectionate. Great for dread too.

Your PT had you doing the high rep low weight for a reason. You body is in a critical stage of development. While I applaud your ambition, I think you need to stick with the high reps and body weight exercises.

The Olympic bar is notorious for shoulder problems. Switch to dumbbells and see how that works. Maybe take a week off from anything that causes pain to allow some of the inflammation to go down before you try the dumbbells. If you still have pain with them, then you need to see a doctor. I have to get a steroid shot in my shoulder every 6 months after 10+years of using the Olympic bar.

Most "boosting" supplements, if not all are BS. If your already lifting, and eating clean, then I don't think a "boosting" supplement is going to do anything for you. TRT However, will change your life if you are truly low on T.

Switch to dumbbells for bench for a couple of weeks.

I laughed out loud when I saw the 55 each arm next to those other numbers!!!

I think you guys are misunderstanding, we are probably saying the same thing. Yes a person who lifts will have a higher avg T rating then if they didn't lift. Said person wakes up with X amount of T in their system, if you test them before and after the gym, that number is no longer x, it is now a lesser number y. Your body recognizes that you have a shortage of T overtime and starts producing more. Which is why weightlifters have on avg a higher T rating.
/r/askMRP16/02/18 06:05 PM

Well if you didn't use your T, why would your nutz need to replace it every night? Why are T levels highest before you get out of bed? Pretty straight forward.... I don't have citations, but the TRT clinic explained it this way. Logically makes since to me.

Its also a lifelong thing, once your on it, its nearly impossible to get off. Especially if you workout a lot and your 30 and having problems.

You might be surprised how much TRT helps with concentration, depression and overall confidence.
/r/askMRP16/02/18 04:12 PM

That number could easily vary that much from day to day. I've been on TRT for 2 years. I don't know if I really needed it, but I wanted it and I'm still glad I did it. I saw progress in the gym at 40 I didn't see in my twenties... Your gym numbers sound pretty good, I doubt you have low T. If your a gym rat, you could easily burn up your T and your results would be low for a given test. How's your libido? Concentration? Erection?

My MIL is a shit testing harpy for sure. I always AA that shit. Its actually quite fun, especially when I make it sexual about her daughter... I would have responded "Got to keep my energy up with this little vixen around"! While making eye contact with my wife. My favorite shit test from my MIL was when were were going on vacation. I was responsible for driving us down to the beach, about 8hrs. MIL, FIL, Wife, myself and 2 of our children. She actually asked me if I thought our SUV would be ok …

I don't normally post, but you sir are a fucktard. You waste your time playing games and doing little boy shit all the while your wife is BEGGING you to lead the family. Asking you to help with dinner for your family when your sitting playing games and she's in fucking pain is NOT A SHIT TEST! You're so far gone i don't think any advise can help you. You clearly have done none of the sidebar... I hope for your families sake you're a fucking troll...

After more reflection, I'm pissed! With MRP I've made great strides in making my marriage better and now i have this huge fucking wall in front of me that I don't want to climb because I don't know what's on the other side.

I have no problem with that. I only started drinking about a year ago on occasion to be more social. I've never needed to drink to have a good time. Also, lately I've noticed that when she's had a few drinks and thinking about another, she will offer to make me one so she feels better about having another. I see now that I need to quit NOW TODAY so that when I do enforce the boundary, it's already done. So as of right now, I no longer drink, not even on occasion. Again, this will not be hard for…

Thank you. I was afraid to tell her to stop drinking or else last night. My betaness was hoping that she could just cut back and we could glide along and I hamstered that we aren't to that point yet. I really DGAF if she's upset, so I need to figure out what I'm afraid of. Probably upsetting the overall balance of the household? Maybe that if she does spiral out of control without my support she may lose her job or make our home life hell or both? It's probably more the fear of the unknown.

I know: She doesn't drink and drive that I know of. Its hard to tell when she is inebriated sometimes, so I don't know if I can always enforce a boundary with the kids. Plus I'm not always home... So I need to think about how I'm going to enforce said boundary if I set it. I don't want to set it and fail.
/r/askMRP28/04/17 04:12 PM

I agree she does need to quit completely. I need to search myself and figure out what boundaries, if any, I can enforce. I'm glad I didn't try to set any last night before reading this. Thanks.

No, she has anxiety. She sometimes wakes up 1st thing in the morning, heart racing, doesn't know why. She complains about her job a lot, but tells friends she loves it. Complains she works to much, but she's always home by 5pm. I ignore most of this because "actions" over "words". She has to take an ambien to sleep every night. Has about 5-10 prescription bottles in her purse at all times. BP, anxiety and I don't know what else. I've definitely been more of the approach, I can't fix her problems…

Thanks for all the info. I like the idea of removing alcohol from our house, I know I would have no problems with it personally. Maybe I can introduce it as a trial period of 30 days? I know she got the most criticism when she was pregnant. Struggled with not "owning' her own body and being able to do what she wanted when she wanted etc... I'll be honest, the thought of this proposal scares me a little. My assumption would be, if she agreed, she would just start hiding it. Which to an extent, sh…

Thank you. We are actually going on vacation next month and I have many physical activities planned. Hindsight I should have involved her more with the planning, I'm just used to taking care of it. I do struggle having any type of meaningful conversation with her. I need to learn to lead her better, no doubt. I'll check out the blog! Also I didn't mean to make it sound like she is obese, she is actually in decent shape, just not to my level. She could easily walk/run a 1/2 marathon right now. Al…
