TL;DR: Maybe some girls are decent even after you've put aside TRP

I've been wanting to write this for a while, but I wasn't sure if I should post since it kind of goes contrary to everything this sub stands for it seems. Anyways, it's a longish post, but here goes.

I remember stumbling onto this sub a frw years ago and being floored. Everything made so much sense I couldn't even process things at first. You see, I didn't have a problem getting laid, I just couldn't make them stay. Eventually through this sub I came to realize my lame behavior was the fault, as well as my horrible attitude which entailed placing the girls I liked on a ridiculous pedestal, regardless of any red flags. Anyways, to be short, I decided to give trp a try. The results were quite good. My mindset had changed and I never gave a girl praise she didn't deserve just because of her looks. I felt pretty good.

So anyways, I eventually met this girl. She's smart, young, comes from a prettt well-off family and was easy to be around and not least of all, very pretty. We met at a party in college. Long story short I apply red pill techniques and eventually we're hanging out everyday and she asks me to be her boyfriend. I figured why not at this point, and it went well the first year.

Here's the shitty incident.... Her best friend came into town one night and stayed at our place. Me, being attracted to her, made some moves and manipulated the situation so we had a threeway. This is the part that sucks. My gf did not want to have a threeway, but I basically asserted myself and manipulated her into it. The next day she's torn up but isn't angry. I push it even further and initiate things with the friend the next day, my gf reluctantly joins in again... The third day was the straw that broke the camels back. I wanted alone time with the friend. What follows is that her guy friend comes over and I get everyone drunk and whatnot and eventually leave to go fool around with the friend in the next room. I felt guilty so I told my gf she could do stuff with the guy friend mostly to alleviate my own guilt. Not that she wanted to, but I wanted some alone time so I basically pawned her off. She goes off and does the deed because she's so unbelievably hurt and disappointed and doesn't know what else to do. Long story short, the next day after dropping the friend at the airport and the guy friend is gone, and the drugs and booze have worn off I break down.

I realize I'd manipulated everyone that weekend to get what I wanted and what I was left with was a broken relationship. My girlfriend was devestated, and only slept with the other guy out of pain and sadness. I didn't realize how much I'd cared for my girlfriend at that point and broke down crying like a bitch when I realized the fucking shit I'd been doing.

This is where we get to the weird part of the story... My girlfriend put aside her pain to take care of me and make sure I was ok Even though I fucked everything up. She put aside her considerable feelings of hurt and betrayal and held me and took all the abuse and anger I hurled her way for sleeping with someone else, even though I basically set that in motion. At that point I realized...I did have that special snowflake, and I didn't see it because I didn't want to believe it could be real. Our relationship would need time to repair.

During that time period after I let myself relax and opened up to her unconditonally. All my weaknesses, past pains, and insecurities that I'd held in to be the dominant person I felt TRP encourages. Since then I've obviously eased up on TRP and don't employ any of its rules. Not that I don't believe they're effective, but because they aren't necessary with her. She's just as kind and supportive and unrelentingly decent as she was before. She helped me through everything and pulled me out of the rut I was in despite me being the biggest fucking pussy imaginable at that point. She stood by me and never tried to trade up even though she could have at that point. She didn't belittle me, and she never took me for granted even though she could have done so a million times during that shitty period.

Because no matter how far I'd fall, whether it was because I'd been abusing drugs or in a months l
