Hi guys,

the last couple of weeks I keep noticing the same pattern with my wife. F.e. I am in the office, having worked all day, haven't eaten and feel sick. So I order some delivery. Right in that moment, wife messages me, if she should bring me food and I decline what follows is this:


Wife:

  • Wooww, and we aren't eating anything here?
  • You only think about yourself
  • A REAL man orders delivery also for his wife and for his child, even when he is not present
  • He calls the delivery and orders and makes it a surprise, like they do with flowers
  • What's in the plate there? Send me a pic
  • You are going to eat that much?

Me:

  • I wanted to eat with you, but I am still at the office. Next time I am there I'll order food. Also I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

Wife:

  • You have never ordered casserole or salad for us
  • Very good
  • I am so disappointed in you
  • Really condescending to us
  • :sadface: Emojy
  • :cryface: Emojy

Me:

  • Too bad that you're so extremely negative and not able to understand, that firstly I am sick, secondly I haven't eaten all day and thirdly that there is a minimum order value I have to place

Wife:

  • I want it too
  • ???
  • Now!
  • ?

Me: (normally I would ignore)

  • Can you make me feel less exploited?

I noticed this pattern also other times. For example we currently have financial troubles and I bring her 200 €. And she responds with: "A REAL man brings his wife and his child 2.000 €"

Or yesterday, when I got home, first thing she did, was handing me a bill and telling me to take care of it. No niceness about it whatsover.


Having read about Beta-Bux I feel a bit exploited, because she only ever is nice to me, when I spend money on her or the child. And this niceness lasts only a couple of hours. Then it's bitch mode again.

Sex is non-existent, e.g. starfish sex, which may result from the fact, that we live in a very small flat (60sq), sleeping with our daughter in the same bed and having my mother-in-law sleeping in the living-room, because she stays till April.

I have found another bigger flat that I already rented and now I am spending my money on renovating and equipping it with furniture.

I feel like I am pulling at this relationship alone, because I have changed a lot since finding the red pill and everybody around me tells me so. I started lifting 3 times a week in February. I am stoic. Calm. Never phased by arguments or shitty behavior. I don't bitch. I try to solve my problems by myself.

But my financial issues are destroying my frame, because partly I agree, that a husband should also be able to provide. And it has become worse since she started working in the accounting department of a billion-dollar corporation, where people don't even have an idea what financial troubles are.

To make this short: What book should I read next? I read the Rational Male Vol. 3 Positive Masculinity, NMMNG, WISNIFG (but I still feel guilty when I say no to her) and some recommended seduction books. But I am only interested in improving my career, because I believe that this is the biggest building site in my life. I feel like she is checking out of the relationship and doesn't even care how she behaves, because her Hypergamy says that she will be better off without me.
