Two months in on my MAP. Married 7 years, together 8. Two young children. Was a long-time dead-bedroom lurking, 'feeling sorry for myself' pussy, always blaming my wife for my shit. Then I swallowed the pill and took responsibility.

Out of the gate my frame was solid. Sex increased as did my assertiveness. She responded well and I was happy with the quick results. I read NMMNG, MMSLP, and currently trying to get thru WISNIFG. I'm lifting and would say we are at dread level 4.

3 weeks ago she went cold shoulder on me. I'm struggling with OI. While I STFU pretty well, I feel like she can sense the stench of resentment I have towards her.

My questions are: Is this a dragged-out version of a shit test? Is she trying to pull me into her frame by finding my breaking point? How should I play this?

I'm having difficulty initiating sex with her because I keep slipping back into the anger phase.
