So, I have seen quite a bit on here about remaining stoic in the face of shit tests, or maintaining amused mastery. I have also seen quite a bit that says don't show anyone you are sick.

I call bullshit on this. You are human. You are allowed to show it. It is just the manner in which you show it, that makes the difference.

Going to work at your standard manual labor job sick. You inform them you are sick. Your performance might not be on par. You tell them to get you a glass of tea and you'll be fine. You power through it. You don't bitch, moan, complain. Yeah. You are fucking stoic at work.

You get home, and you collapse weakly into bed. Your woman has to take care of you. ONS, Plate, or LTR? That's what the bitch is there for. That is her job. If she can't deal with that, you don't need her. Her value was not what you thought it was to begin with.

Regardless of how well she did everything while you were up and good, whether it was fucking, cooking, cleaning...

If she can't be there when you are down, then she isn't worth a damn. The biological, frame broken imperative shit is just that. Shit.

She had not intrinsic worth, regardless of her SMV, RMV, or any other value. You playing above your league, because there are no leagues. There is the human experience.

Emotions? You express your emotions for yourself. You don't express them for anyone else but yourself, unless you are screaming at a woman to put her back in line.

You are asking: Isn't that breaking frame?

No. You have to learn to live with no frame. There is no frame for the human experience. The woman pissed you off by being a bitch? Call her a bitch. Tell her she pissed you off. Tell he you aren't dealing with her stupid shit. Send her ass to a corner, make her sleep on the couch, make her walk home. Do whatever you feel.

You are allowed to feel. Any woman that thinks otherwise is self absorbed. Has no right to a true Man. A true Man doesn't hold his tongue, doesn't let a woman play games and treats her like a child, or a teenager. She is a grown ass adult. She needs to accept it, and reap the consequences of her actions.

Don't compromise. Never compromise on either of these tenets. You are allowed to be human. To be anything else, is to become a plugged in machine.

Don't feel shame for crying, so long as you are doing it for yourself. You felt pain? Cry mother fucker. Let the world hear you wail your despair out. Then, let it be done.

You need to express what you feel sometimes, whether or alone or with someone else, to purge your system of negativity. It will change your outlook on life immediately afterward.
