Been playing monk for the past week, lifting and eating better. Last night wife kept asking me what was wrong/what was up my butt, etc. I kept saying that nothing was wrong and that I was fine.
After dinner I get changed for the gym and start to head out:
Wife: What is up with you?
Me: Nothing.
Wife: Oh, I know, you're hurt that I haven't recognized that you've been going to the gym for me. It actually does look like you are losing weight.
Me: I am not going to the gym for you. I am going to the gym for me.
Should have agreed and amplified, I know. But it caught me offguard and I responded more of out of anger (losing frame). I think I failed that shit test, but I'm not sure what would have been a better response. Wife has been getting on me for years to get in better shape/get stronger... I know, she has practically been asking me right out to become more Alpha and I have completely ignored it.
