I recently entered into an exclusive relationship with a girl. I slept with a whole bunch of girls (entirely thanks to TRP) over the summer, but I felt pretty damn good about this one, so I agreed to be exclusive with her two months ago.

Before, I hadn't done much reading on TRP in relation to LTRs, but now I see that the game doesn't change. You can't rest on your laurels and become beta in any way even with a super committed girl, because she'll smell your bullshit from 100 miles away, and she'll immediately start pulling away because you're less attractive to her all of a sudden.

This girl and I have been extremely sexual with each other so far. Dirty texts all day, and great, consistent sex every time we see each other.

She started to really latch on, which I didn't mind. However, once I started giving into her neediness, I sensed an immediate paradigm shift in how she's acting. Recently, I canceled a couple of my plans to hang out with her instead. I also let my guard down once to tell her about something that was making me mad (showing vulnerability), and I can tell she's gotten colder. She doesn't care about my problems, and she doesn't want to know I have them. It dried her up SO fast. The sexual texts stopped, and I'm suddenly carrying the majority of the momentum in this thing. I thought she would appreciate me showing vulnerability, but I was wrong. Women just want you to be a strong, unwavering badass at all times. Vulnerability makes them want to puke.

I'm not extremely worried about it, because I'll just go back to treating her the way I did when I was giving her tingles, and she'll warm back up.

So the moral of the story is that I can't let down my guard even though we're in a committed relationship. I know this is what all TRP reading says, but I just needed to get my thoughts out and organize them so I can address this thing as effectively as possible.

If you have any tips for me, please send them over. TRP has gotten me really far in life over the last 2 years, so I'm more than willing to continue to follow it now.
