I have noticed a trend in the last few days of posters asking questions like "what if she gets annoyed" or "I tried X and she got mad." etc.

The stock answer as of late seems to be "Well, are you acting like you DGAF?"

This is inherently fine, but it is leaving a lot to the original poster's hamster. I think we can take it a step further.

First- stop fearing your wife's emotions. You need to make friends with that emotional storm. You need to be able to kick it up at a moment's notice and you need to be able to calm it with a solid embrace. She is fine with her emotions. Her emotions are what make life fun, and dramatic and meaningful. You are the one that has a problem with her emotions. She isn't scared of your emotions (because she pulls you into her frame) why are you scared of hers?

Second- you are not responsible for her emotions. (until you are- see observation 3) It is in our nature as egotistical individuals to assume a solipsistic view of those around us. We assume our actions and words carry an enormity of weight. As a result, we give away control of our actions to the people we interact with everyday. We do it in a multiple of ways. We fail to act because of an anticipated response. To break this down further, you actually will fail to accomplish a goal because of an imaginary response from someone. Fiction is stopping you from achieving your goal. Fear is dictating your actions.

Looking through the lens of MRP, men (faggots) will fail to grab their wife, throw her against the wall, and make out for a bit. They are scared because their ego could not take the POTENTIAL rejection. They are worried about her emotional response of annoyance, rejection, anger, etc. You are not responsible for her feelings or emotions. Get this through your head. You wanted to grab your wife and steal a kiss. If she has a problem with that, it is on her. If you tolerate having a wife that has a problem with a passionate husband (assuming you are owning your shit) then every future encounter is on you. Take some ownership in your life.

Third- you are responsible for her emotions. Yes- fuck you- I am a hypocrite. Here's the thing- just because you are not responsible for her emotions does not mean you cannot illicit a desired emotional response. Let me give you a few examples-

My wife is a self admitted "jealous" woman. We know dread works best when it is observed in a natural format. A woman hitting on you at a restaurant, etc. My wife sees those things- but if we are not going out and are at home for the night- I am still going to get her hamster going. I am not willing to concede to a boring night just because we are at home and it is a Tuesday. I don't have to use passive dread to be effective. I know my wife is a jealous woman, all I have to do is mention another woman. It may start with comments about the college baby sitter, a good looking employee, etc. This usually last ten minutes before she is seething internally. Then she looks at me and goes "you are fucking with me." I usually answer by raising my eyebrows, maybe a wink. Now she's pissed that I could get to her. And she is also engaged. And we are laughing. And she is making comments about guys, trying to get me to bite. And the game goes on until supper is made, kids are fed, bathed and sleeping, and she's blowing me on the couch because she wants the feelings and roller coaster to continue.

Stop fearing your wife's emotions. Channel them into a better life in the present for both of you. This is your role as captain.
