Had a few large life changes over the past six months. I went from a home office/travel role at my firm to an 8-5 desk job with little to no travel. I have greatly increased my lifting as well during this time as the consistency the 8-5 job give me.

I am up, and out of the house every day by 6am. Most days I am home by 4:30, collect the kids and go to their practices where I am coaching them in either softball or baseball (see last week’s post). My wife helps with softball, but not baseball practice. We each handle our own shit 90% of the time, so I have no major complaint areas.

I operate at dread level 8 all the time. I do not actively game women, as it is just second nature. I have no issues talking to women in public, 1:1, with the wife around. It doesn’t matter. I game my wife non-stop. I get numbers from women, but never follow up, or give out my number or contact info. I have no need for any of that.

I know my wife is on a 1000-foot rope, but it’s been a few months and some of her behavior is starting to cause me to pause and asses the health of her hamster. A couple times over the recent weeks she has told me that “she never sees me anymore.” Yes, it is true, I am spending more hours away from home than previously, as I am either at the office, gym or practice, whereas before when I didn’t travel I worked from home and would regularly see her at least a few week days a week, in addition to the weekend. My feelings here, is that she is still adjusting to the new schedule and availability, and while we do spend plenty of time together in the evening, and obviously the weekend it is less than before. Perhaps up the comfort, or just let it fix itself?

Per my previous post, as head coach I am in communication with at least 20 different moms a week, many of which are single/divorced. Any time my phone alerts lately the comment from my wife is “which one of the moms is hitting on you now?” They have absolutely no shame in approaching me, touching my arms or outright flirting with me at practice, even when my wife is present (however never when she is directly around). I do not overtly flirt with them, but I am naturally fun to be around and they see me Kino my wife so they know what is up, however it doesn’t stop them.

This past weekend when I was sending out e-mail updates on practices and schedules for games this week my wife wanted to look at my phone, after I had been texting one of my workout buddies about something completely random. I honestly do not care, so I handed it to her and she proceeded to spend about 15 minutes reading every single text message I had on there from parents about their kids.

Once I realized what was up, I pulled some AM and told her I have already deleted all the nudes except for hers, and she wasn’t going to find anything with a grin on my face, to which I got ZERO response on – which is expert level for her. So, I just brushed it off and went about my businesses of smoking some ribs.

My plan on all this, is to honestly not do anything and just let her work it out for herself. This is new a behavior from her which I find partially amusing, but at the same time if I am missing something obvious or need to address sooner rather than later I am all ears.
