In a 1+ yr LTR with a 26-year old HB7. I've noticed a lot more comfortable tests lately, and a few shit tests, too. The problem is, she's adopted my favorite weapon (ignoring her). The first few times, I was properly amused and enjoyed the time apart. But today, for the first time, I realized to my great chagrin, that the cold shoulder was bothering me.

I know better than to reveal (legitimate) weakness before the enemy (yes, the enemy, those are the words of the late GRANDMASTER Patrice O'Neal, not me). I also know that Oneitis is death, not just to your RL, but to productivity, and emotional freedom.

I have no interest in becoming a slave. How can I stop the progression, of this dreaded disease?

(Action items, not just theory, thanks)
