Thank you, that's very helpful.

Two things I use to tell the difference (I think this is from MMSL): Is it reasonable or unreasonable? E.g., she's got her hands full, asks you to open the door - totally reasonable. Or maybe she's not feeling well, is tired from a long day, etc. - that's all reasonable. Or maybe she's uncomfortable doing something - it doesn't even matter if you think her discomfort is reasonable or not. But if you're just sitting next to each other and she asks you to do something that she could easily do, tha…

I am not OP, but you described my own life really well. Lots of lessons and corrections there that I needed to hear. Thank you for that. I just saved it to Evernote and it's going to be one of those things I re-read over the next several weeks/months as I implement and internalize it. Question for you though - it seems to me that your approach is basically "deconstruct her frame by being even more Type-A than she is". But I'm not more Type-A than my wife. She's just as you described - insane ove…

loss of life of a loved one Without going into details, yes, it was that sort of thing.

I've had two experiences that were really impossible to foresee, make contingency plans for, or face stoically. I don't mean to sound condescending, but I sincerely hope you never face those kinds of things.

Congrats on the upcoming baby. You're going to be totally wrapped around her little finger. It's tricky to teach them to be feminine and sweet, but not prissy little entitled drama queens.

she deserves to be entitled from everyone else in our culture IMO, the problem is that it's all one-sided. If a woman is happy to be, well, a traditional woman - feminine, demure, pure, submissive, etc. - then it's entirely reasonable to treat her "like a princess." But she can't have it both ways, which is what our culture is insisting on.

If I need to intervene between her and my kids I usually just say something along the lines of "Hey, I got this" and she leaves it alone. If she's berating me, I get a smirk on my face, raise one eyebrow, and say "Ummm, do you think you're being good?" I tried - once - saying "You're out of line" but that backfired as it gave her "ammunition" to use against me / justify herself. My new approach takes all that away and is more patronizing than insulting / confrontational. Puts the whole thing bac…

I'm new to this, but it doesn't seem like a test to me. She is initiating, and frequently, which is good. It sounds like she's genuinely trying, and it's just a response to what she perceives as your and her SMVs. And fortunately that's just what TRP is intended to fix. Continue working on yourself and watch for her response to improve as well.

I sometimes liken sex to food. Some meals are great, some are not so great, but a man's got to eat. So this is a plain sandwich. Sometimes real meals are just like that, you're busy or tired or whatever and it's just "eat something so I don't die" and that's ok. But if it's all you're getting, it is a bigger problem. How frequently does this happen, and what percentage of your sex life is it? If she offers you boring sex once a week, and you're getting nothing else from her, that's a big deal. I…

It's hard to go from single to married to married with kids. How old is your son? If he's very young it could be exhaustion or post-partum. If not, I agree with /u/whinemoreplease - encourage her to get involved with hobbies or volunteer work or whatnot, and support her by paying for babysitting, etc. Some churches in my area run a "Mom's Day Out" program where the moms take turns babysitting (as a group) so they either get some time to run errands or hang out with other moms. Sounds like you're…

Thanks, that does make it clearer.

I'm failing at getting a bunch of projects done around the house and generally following through. I could make some legitimate excuses, there have been some huge demands on my time recently - except that I've been failing at this for longer than those demands have existed. Also, financially - I vowed in January to take over the family budget and bill paying. I did make some progress on that but it stalled around March. Spiritually - I've been doing family devotions in the evenings for several ye…

Likely stupid question, but how does this mesh with "IDGAF"? Because quite frankly I very much do give a f*** about her. Or maybe I'm not understanding IDGAF?

You have much more to lose. Love the way you put that. My own philosophy is "I care more about my wife than I do about being right." I have spent many frustrated days and nights because of my pride in "sticking to my guns."

You should have asked her consent for playing the "yes means yes" game. That was assault! And ask her consent for asking for her consent.

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