I've been unplugging since December of last year after reading MMSLP.

Background: Had to start out at least somewhat alpha with my FO since she liked to fuck me, however three kids and 20 years later I found myself wondering what is happening? Watched a buddy loose his family to a ridiculous flame we all know to be named Chad. The whole thing seemed from left field, but I could not help but think: "This can happen to me". (I was already internalizing AWALT): So in trying to find out about the decrease in sex in my relationship, I found Athol's work.

Reading: I read MAP, and then Alpha Moves. Then I stumbled across Rational male and maybe this married red pill sub through Darlock? Hard to remember for sure. I've absorbed all of Rollo's blog posts, which I find both illuminating and (surprise surprise) infuriating. By this time I picked up reading on the prerequisites of this sub. NMMNG, SGM, Book of Pook (this I found tough to get through all of because of the format), and TWOTSM by David Ditta.

Lifting: Installed a chin up bar downstairs, followed the 20 push ups schedule I found online. I also began following the 100 push ups schedule as well. When I started I could do 2 or 3 pull ups, no chin ups, and maybe 10 push ups. So I started with negative chin ups, and have aimed successfully to work out everyday I don't play sports, which is 4 - 5 days a week. I also began cardio, although I have not been as consistent with cardio as I have been with the bar. If anything slipped I let cardio go a bit but made sure I did chin up, pull up, and push ups . Recently I've added crunches. Goals: US marines physical fitness test high score - 20 pull / push ups, 3 miles in 18 min, 200 crunches in 100 seconds. I have a long way to go on the 3 miles and 200 crunches. I can do 15-14-12-11-10 style reps for pull ups but sometimes need to take extra time between to hit those numbers.

Eating: Began eating more protein: Sugar free Greek yogurt, whey protein, cottage cheese, meat, eggs before bed, going much more light on carbs, quite drinking beer regularly.

Body Results: Started 5:10 190 lbs, Current weight 185 lbs. Planning to begin cutting in a weeks time after getting the hang of the "my fitness pal" app.

Captaincy: Began taking fucking charge. Began talking to my wife with a gleam in my eye and treating her like a sex object. Told her I expect her to look sexy for me (she was like "really? I thought blah blah blah..." I told her "no that's not true"). Began driving ALL THE TIME when I am in the car with her. Began leaving the house sometimes when denied sex. Began actively practicing game in and out of home, with her and with plates, took serious stock of being assertive with her.

Struggled/ing with: Anger (thanks Rollo, thanks RP). OI.

Immediate results: Sex returned incrementally. I no longer felt this terrible feeling I couldn't quite put my finger on.

Longer term results: Everything everyone is writing about on this sub, including ups and downs. I fuck her regularly and call her my slut and tell her how tight and wet her pussy is. Who would have known? She likes it. Am I there? No. Long way to go, and really, the journey never does or should end.

My closing words: Thank you marriedredpill, you guys have been an inspiration. I will begin contributing, and look forward to getting hammered on and critiqued when my beta pussy self begins to show.

Stay hard men.
