47, Married 15, 1 kid (12), sex once a month. Wife “wears the pants” since the beginning (I had unhealthy oneitis real bad). I has been two weeks since I found MRP, I was ready. Lifting, reading NMMNG, MMSP, MRP every chance I get.

Noob looking for general guidance on how to handle compliance tests while working on getting my shit together.

Question: Is it better to STFU and comply with a compliance test if, at that moment, you are pissed off and any other response will have detectable butthurt in it?

If wife makes a request for me to do some small task that objectively may seem reasonable for people living together, but is just another in a long string of them, I sometimes get feeling like I am just a “chore boy”. Inside I think “fuck you, do it yourself”. At that point it is sometime hard to keep frame, there is anger in me. I know that she will detect butthurt if I try to reject the request or demand. Lacking frame at the moment I only see two options:

STFU and comply = fail compliance test

Reject the request with butthurt = failed test.

As a noob it seems not showing butthurt and complying is the lesser of the two evils.

What is the best short term approach for a guy who does not have the frame yet to be neutral or AA in a compliance test?

Thanks
