New account. Legitimate question. Marriage is on the rocks. Discovered red pill one month ago after 12 years of marriage. Sex once per week, she always initiates or makes it completely obvious for me to do so. I'm putting in the work but wife's SMV is definitely higher. I know what to do for me and it's in motion. I know how much I fucked things and I own it. It's not her fault. My question is for the short term.

The general consensus is always be escalating. My kino is not great and their is a lot of tension between us most days. I'm often uncomfortable around her. My game is shitty and I'm rusty for sure. I'm getting repeated hard no's. I'm talking 0 for last 12 or so after not initiating for at least a couple years (wife would initiate once per week or so).

Do I keep this up or back the fuck off? I know WHY sex is shitty and I'm getting hard no's. It's not a fucking mystery to me. I know what I have to do long term, but everything I read is essentially: Do you want sex? Yes. Then try to have sex.
