So I've taken the whole family on a vacation to the beach. Rented a condo for a week, water parks, ocean, the whole works. A couple of incidents pissed my wife off, and she got in a 2 day funk where she was basically short and non-contact with me. Fine I don't fucking care. I'm at the beach and having fun with my kids.
First incident, she asked me while sitting on the couch at the same time as me "go check on them I think they're into something" meaning the kids. My answer "no, I'm good". I figure she's worried let her go check. Nothing was wrong.
Next incident we were walking back, and my daughter had fallen asleep. My wife was carrying her (3 years old) and I said "give her to me", and I put her into the stroller. I futzed with the stroller a little bit but couldn't get it to go flat. My wife comes over and says something nasty to me, picks her up and storms off to the condo. I scolded her, saying I don't deserve to be spoken to in a nasty tone.
So for two days she seething. The old me would have chased her, and tried to make her feel better. The Redpill me doesn't give a fuck. She finally corned me and asked "do you even know why I'm mad? Don't you care that you're ruining this vacation?!?"
My answer, "you're a big girl. If you are mad, speak up! Your ruining your vacation not mine. I'm having a great time!"
Her face went ashen as soon as I said it. She realized the error of her logic.
I never apologized. I never got entangled in her emotional roller coaster. I stayed in frame.
