Telling the truth

The problem here is that no matter what you do, your reason for choosing that course of action is: “what does she want”.

You decide to tell the truth, it’s because she wants to hear the truth. You decide to lie, it’s because she wants to believe the lie.

You are reacting to her perceived wishes instead of sticking to your moral imperative. If you value honesty, then tell the truth all the time, even if it means you break a plate or whatever.

When in doubt, lie. No one appreciates honesty. At least, not in reality. In our idealistic expectations, we expect everyone to be honest. Guess what? People are shitty and have shitty opinions on everything. If everyone acted honestly, the world would not function.

Also, it is always better to maintain secrecy, mystery than come off as a open book. With anyone and everyone.

Redpill taught me stoicism and I am very grateful for that. I suggest you read the Enchiridion, there are many versions and are very short like 1-2hours of reading. Some points for you might be,

Don’t try to control things that aren’t in your control (other people’s actions or feelings). Control only what you can control,(your actions and feelings)

You talk about jealousy, ask yourself, “what good comes of me being jealous?”. You can feel jealous as that is human nature, but don’t act on your jealousy. If you have a strong frame there is nothing to worry about. If she decides to fuck someone else that’s not something you can control. So just keep doing your best and control your frame.
