You think this is a big deal because you know the contents. She probably doesn’t and isn’t going to look as long as you don’t act weird about it.

I’ve dealt with this twice.

First time: Whilst in the midst of divorce, ex wife checks my Amazon orders(don’t ever share these accounts BTW). Reads the summary and reviews and calls me and says “looks like you are going to start hating women.” I say “Not more than I already do!” We stayed on friendly terms for a while.

Second time: My current LTR locates it as she is helping me move. She asks me what it is. I tell her it’s a book on realism and masculinity. She asks if it was helpful. I say “Yes, I’m basically Arnold Socrates now”. It never came up again.

May not be a bad time for you to reread the DARE not DEER post on the main sub.

Tell her it's an interesting book. That's it.

Tell her exactly what it is. It's the truth, is there an issue with you reading a book that could widen your perspective?

If she catches you cheating are you going to hang yourself? It's just a book man relax..

Say it's a book written by an old boomer, too cheap to hire an editor. It's basically a study of the white working class in decline, blaming women because they are too pathetic to understand how the hyperinflationary regime of 2008 and smartphones destroyed the sexual marketplace.

She prob won’t ask but if she does just say it’s a good book and switch the subject. Unltimately, wether you can play it off if she’s confrontative depends on how solid your frame is.

Your fear being judged will ruin everything. It it comes up just tell her its a friends book. I disagree with people saying embrace the red pill. Unaware rp people cringe from this

If you internalized the contents of the book or anything on the sidebar than you would give zero fucks what she thinks of the book on your shelf

Hold frame. Don't give a fuck if she leaves. Don't for one second back down. If you're an improved version of yourself, you're the gift that masculinity should give to her. Hold it you studied your books just to get better. Let the hamster spin as much. Tell her once and don't bother. If she wants to leave, no amount of appeasing or begging will make her stay.

She would be searching on the internet and getting crap feminist bullshit about that book. Chances are she'd confront you. It's for her to choose if she wants you more or the opinion of the feminists. Don't for one second feel guilty about what you read and what she discovers.
