27, wife 28. Married 4 years come June, together nearly 9. One son, 15 months. Am in a total DB, last sexual encounter was approximately 12 months ago. Red pill full dosage about 2 weeks ago. I've been slowly coming around to the "men's rights" side since high school. Have read NMMNG, and MMSLP, have been reading much of Rollo's First Year piece by piece. I'd say I have a higher SMV than my wife, and I think she knows it. According to the calculations I'm nearly 50lbs over target, which would put me 15lbs less than my weight at HS graduation by the most generous calculation.
I live in a pretty rural area, joined the fitness center in the town that I live, it has some alright features, namely proximity. However it does not have any barbells, which is concerning, instead only free weights are Dumbbells. They do have a personal trainer available once a week, and she is a competition body builder, so I'll be discussing with her a plan of attack. Otherwise, nearest other gym is at minimum, 15 minute drive one way. Only issue I see is that I sprained my ankle getting out of a tractor almost 2 months ago and it's still a little weak and sore, so I don't want to cause further damage in my hopes of getting fit.
Occupation, family farm. I'm essentially the 2nd in command behind my father (major beta tendencies). Income for myself is alright, though I do run some acreage myself for some added income.
Work schedule, I have a relativly standard time, extra hours come planting and harvest. Wife switched to straight nights at the hospital that she works at (as a CNA). She's also going back to school to get her LPN. Our together time is nearly nil. We work opposite weekends to help with childcare issues and keeping costs down.
I've bee lurking for about 2 weeks or so, got some basic reading done...my biggest issue so far is keeping frame. I'm not usually an angry guy (got that anger phase done prior, found DB and then MRP). I have taken control of the finances, hoping to have a budget in place soon.
Am I prepared to leave? Yes. I'm going to give this the absolute best shot I can. I've done more for myself and trying to be both a better husband, father, and man in general. I will take control and command of this ship, whether my 1st mate is the one I have now, or someone entirely different.
I'm planning on slowplaying the phases stated in MMSLP. My wife has serious anxiety issues (she's on medications that seem to be helping [zoloft specifically]) and so to prevent total MAD of the relationship, and so I'm planning on taking at least 12 months to work to at least phase 3.
Hopefully I'm not missing many details. I'm appreciative of the sub...the info in here seems fantastic.
