This may belong in the OYS thread, and if so, may the mods move it.
My last two posts and subsequent comments have been eye opening for me.
First, I have to own that I started unplugging as a huge covert contract. I wanted a sex life. I thought this was the best stuff Ive read to reach that end. Sure, I knew I'd be changing some things about myself for the better. Fine, and good. But the end goal was to get my wife to want, respect, and fuck me again. I saw some early gainz in response from her, but they dried up about a month ago. I've been angry and floundering. I now see so clearly I have gone about this all wrong. It just doesnt work the way I tried to manipulate it.
I was never ready to admit I needed to build things over, from the ground up. I thought I was alpha and I just needed to get things in order. Thanks to all of your help, it is now so obvious that I'm a beta cupcake with some alpha sprinkles.
I start to really change today.
I had a MAP generally, but I thought I really needed to get specific for the next 30 calendar days. After 30 days I re-evaluate. So I submit this plan for your responses and additions.
(Brief background --- 3 kids, one 4mos old. Been married 9 years, and its been generally shitty and deadbedroom the entire time. Last two kids were "accidents". I'm successful at work (business development) and she is SAHM)
-
STFU. Literally and completely. I plan to say virtually nothing to my wife. Logistics will be kept to a sentence. I will try to communicate as much as I can without words - body language, smiles, etc.
-
Read Way of the Superior Man. And one other book to be suggested in the comments. (I have read Pook, WISNIFG, Rational Male. I read a thorough synopsis of NMMNG on TRP, but not the book)
-
Remove all hope of sex. I'll initiate (with very few words) if it seems appropriate, but I generally dont even expect this to happen.
-
Be out of the house at least two nights a week. I have been doing this pretty regularly, but I will keep it up.
-
Continue lifting heavy weights (Obviously)
-
Commit at least two other nights a week to household projects (change light bulbs, mow the grass (it needs it once more where I am) clean up the garage and storage, clean out the dishwasher, laundry, etc. whatever needs to be done those nights.
And some questions:
A good response to if she asks me why I dont talk to her? (not even sure she'll care)
Even though my wife despises me and is disgusted by me, should I still initiate touch with her? Arm around her shoulder, ass slap, etc. Or does that need to wait?
Thoughts, subtractions, additions, etc please
