5 years married, one 7yo daughter. Two months or so ago My wife walked out and called me a bitch ass pussy with no balls and that she wished I was like her dad. I was standing there crying like a little bitch boy (because I was and didn't even know it).

I wasn't always beta. In high school I was shredded, worked out 10 times a week, did what the fuck I wanted, fucked almost any girl I wanted, and was happy. Then I met my wife. Sexy as fuck punk girl, I had to have her, so I got her. Then it went down hill, we were "soul mates", we were "meant to be together" you know the Disney bullshit. But I still regained a little bit of my attitude but was slowly catering to her, because "I wanted, to make her happy".

I stopped working out in the mornings.

I got her pregnant.

I went from a fairly cut 175 to a soft 225......and felt like shit. Barely getting laid at all, I thought maybe this is how it's supposed to be. I was buying into all the bullshit. I never wanted to get married, she knew that. It's just a fucking piece of paper. So we got married when our daughter was 2. I was getting bored with this shit but kept it all inside, I couldn't upset my princess now could I?

Just work, pay the bills, come home, fuck once a week maybe, everyone is happy.

Jesus fucking christ.

Fast forward to two months ago. I was in despair. A shell of a man who just got castrated by his wife as she walked out. All I could do is Google "wife called me a bitch ass pussy". THANK FUCKING GOD I DID. My life changed forever. I was brought here. You can read my victim puke if you can stomach it.

I immediately started lifting again while she was gone. I deployed STFU and didn't cry for hr to come back. I actually started to not give a fuck of she did. She then text me one day and asked if I wanted to go out to dinner. I said no. I then picked her up and had my daughter with me and we went to the zoo, my plans, didn't ask her, we just went. It was actually a good day. My new (old) attitude was already getting positive results from my daughter, and my wife was in awe.

She came back home two days later. Everything has fucking changed for the better already. I fuck with her and she loves it. We fuck at least every day, if not more, and it's good sex. She calls me an asshole (half jokingly) at least every day, and I love it. I made her cry last night because I wouldn't go in the store to get her something but instead told her if she wanted it, she should go in. Great sex was had an hour later.

Guys, I know I'm nowhere near where I want to be as a leader, a captain, a father, or man, but god damn I feel amazing. My wife and daughter feel amazing. It's so refreshing to just be. I cannot thank you guys enough for your harsh, constructive criticism you all gave me. Especially /u/trainingthebrain.

You guys have literally, helped me save my life.
