Hey guys, so I'd thought I'd give you my brief on me and how shit has been going on and my subsequent efforts to turn shit around.

Been married for just over 5 years have a small daughter 3 years old, sex of course has been few and far between and always at my insistence.

I thought I was behaving red pill but I think my image of what that is was a bit convoluted.

Anyway so obviously I realized enough was enough and a few nights ago when she said "I'm not in a mood" something snapped inside of me and I realized it was time to take action.

Firstly I've been giving her absolutely no attention since 3 nights ago, going out early out of the door taking care of some administrative home shit that's been piling up since forever, getting home after work then getting on with some more work around the house and working out.

When she attempted to communicate I was pretty much just acting formal, giving her one answer syllables and then continuing to do my stuff. No affection or attention from me whatsoever.

Now this morning she caught me off guard, as I was about to leave the house for work she embraced me and was insistent on kissing me I hesitantly reciprocated but I wasn't into it so tried to keep it brief.

I said bye and left. (Not sure if what I did was right so some feedback on that would be good).

Not sure however what to expect next, should I keep on the same track or reward her for showing me the attention? If she offers sex should I refuse, or should I just keep working on my own shit again when I get home. Kind of realized I hadn't planned the next steps.

Edit As suggested by TheGreasyPole below is some further info:

  • I have read the Married Man Sex Life Primer but had only a little success although strictly speaking I think I regressed into a blue pill state (naturally I think)

  • SMV - I am a professional and work in senior management, she's a stay at home mum. Both have no social life to speak of, but around the house she always managed everything although I control the money.

  • How long on the red pill - Well I thought I was since Dec last year but as I said I think I strayed from the path.
