Thank you all. Today, I held frame successfully and it was brilliant.

Basically, I am in an LTR for a while now. Sex is still frequent, but I'm not sure how I do it because I don't hold frame well and I constantly let myself get manipulated by her emotions. Maybe it's being cocky or maybe it's being sarcastic and very dry in response to more standard tests.

She starts to (what I now recognise as) shit test me when she's ovulating far more than usual. The conversation went like this (over the phone) :

Her: what do you hate about me most?

Me: how long have you got?

H: I asked for one thing

M: I worry that I wouldn't be able to stop myself after the first one

H: inane conversation about whatever

H: are you dodging?

M: Yep

H: more inane conversation

H: I feel like we're arguing. I feel like my brain is in argument mode.

M: I don't think we're arguing

H: want to be friends again?

M: Yeah great

H: we're having sex at the weekend. Be prepared.

I feel like she got her fix of drama, I held my frame and got in a bit of agree and amplify, and she then got very attracted to me presenting as alpha.

As an aside I have been working on improving testosterone levels (fish oil 1000mg and vitamin d3 3000 IU) and think this could be helping both her attraction and my ability to be alpha.

This is addictive and I will be holding my frame so much more in future. Thank you all.
