I just got my reality flipped upside down... Been a career beta for my entire life (currently 29) married for 3 years (shes 34) with a 2 & 4 y/o. I read NNMNG and it blew my mind, big surprise. Discovered this sub and MRP today, so I thought I'd keep some record of internet accountability to kick my journey off. I've had problems with accountability among other things and this HAS to change. Currently in a situation 3 (due to my situation 4 career beta status mainly). No cheating but certainly loss of respect and poor general attitude toward me. Today was the last straw, I've been cowering behind being 'nice' as an excuse for my shortcomings and that just doesn't cut it!

No real male circle of friends, I have two and they're in a similar boat. Not sure how they fare in comparison, but certainly not alpha status. I need a Morpheus, plain and simple. I'll be devouring the required reading as I can and looking for something to put into action.

Already lifting/working out, eating reasonably well. Steady job, no worries there.

Biggest issue is my inability to listen, follow through, and be a general wimp with no backbone. Sound familiar?

Advise, concerns, etc. all welcome; have at it! I'm looking forward to reading something after I go throw some iron around.
