Preface: I'm not a huge red pill guy, but I feel that there are absolutely some basic principles here that ring true. Unfortunately, wading through the ridiculous field reports that read like teenage erotic fantasy, extremely hateful/bitter/resentful shitposts, and occasional circlejerk trains water down the quality of the board. If you find yourself falling into any of those categories - please don't bother reading further.

I'm a 28 year old professional athlete - but not in the major 4. I make enough for myself, but not much extra. I am 6', 245, about 16% bodyfat. I am in my prime for my sport, however it is full contact and, barring injury, have about 2-4 years left before it's time to move on. I'm including this because in athletics, it is notorious for LTRS/Wife/GF to crumble after retirement. I personally feel that this is because (Unless you are with your 'hometown sweetheart') high value women want high value men - and post retirement many ex athletes start sitting on the couch doing jack shit, which is the equivalent of a woman gaining 80 pounds.

My girlfriend and I have been in a LTR for about a year and a half. When I met her she was with someone else, had several orbiters (although unencouraged) , but would NOT sleep or do anything sexual with me until she broke up with her current boyfriend. Her relationship was crumbling, and she wanted to hook up with me, but she absolutely refused to cheat, which I respected.

She broke up with him and we started hanging out, hooking up, ect. A few things to note are that: A. She is very intelligent B. She completely and utterly dominated all men in her life before (she broke an ex to the point that he would let her piss on him) C. She admittedly was very unhappy and stressed in the leadership role

Now, it is a daily challenge to hold frame over her. Physically, I overpower her with ease. But mentally, she is VERY challenging. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I feel like I need a break. I will note that during serious discussions/decisions, I lead and she follows with zero resistance and does exactly what I lay out for her.

The problem comes in the downtime. If there is no pressing issue, she will challenge. I will ask her to do something, she will look at me and openly defy me(taunt), exciting herself thinking about the ramifications of her disrespect (spanking/extremely submissive blowjob/degradation). She will stop mid blowjob and taunt again - which usually prompts a more strict/physically dominant response from me, and here she will break and start fully submitting and doing anything and everything I ask with no hesitation and extremely enthusiastically. She basically forces and challenges me to be the most alpha and best man I can be, and only then will she submit herself.

My problem is that she resets into this behavior after about two days. This is only in private, but sometimes it is seriously exhausting to have to go to that level. I understand that it is someone the nature of the beast to be with a woman like that - but i've seen her eat up all other men in her life alive - just blowing up their frame to the point where they are yelling and screeching like orangutangs. Is this a dangerous situation to be in - or is it possible that she understands the game and is manipulating/training me to being on my alpha game 24/7
