I was your typical blue pulled chump. Dated this smoke show when I was 18, became super needy and she dumps my ass 3 weeks later. I linger in her family off and on for 5 years eventually we get together at 23, fast forward to now we have a beautiful daughter and been married for almost 7 years.

Introduced RP theory about a year ago after having a 4 year dead bedroom and an emotional affair with a woman at work. Got my shit together and began to deprogram. First got rid of the affair, began dread on my wife and it was working well. Then came the comfort tests. I think this is where I failed. She began to respect me as a man, we were sexually charged, but no matter how hard we both tried we couldn’t become emotionally attached again.

We had a talk today and realized we’ve tried everything and it’s best we end our marriage and continue to coparent.

I stated our daughter needs us to get along. So no fucking bullshit. She agreed.

I’m on a plane now back to work for 2 weeks. The drive to the airport with her had a sense of peace to it. Like an old dying dog had finally got put down.

What do I do now? How do I remain RP but a good father? How do I not get fucked over and not become some blue pill chump who gets taken advantage of?
