My Mission?
Become the best version of who I am. Be an engaged father, a strong male role model to my son & daughter, and lead my family to where we are going. Be the oak. Be the type of man that is of high value, integrity, strength, and emotionally available to everyone I encounter without ego.
Why am I here?
I’ve accepted a new mission to undo the shit I’ve done with honest effort. My family has been held hostage by my wife’s emotions. I have allowed all of this to happen.

I am continuing to explore my spirituality. I finished The Four Agreements this week that helped me further think about how to kill my ego. I find myself slipping back into my ego. There was an interesting concept in the book about the ancient Toltec’s visualizing the ego as a parasite and the only way to kill it would be to die yourself taking the parasite with you. After rebirth, the parasite (ego) is dead and you can begin anew. I thought that was a good way to translate into finding MRP and the journey we take here. Another helpful way to kill that fucking ego.
Physical & Lifting: Good. Still a skinny fuck but progressing.
Lifted 4x this week. Still on PHAT plan. I haven’t upped my weights as much as I’d like. I am just getting over being sick for 2 weeks and running a temperature of 100+ for 13 days. I did find that even though I was feeling like shit, when I went to lift it would improve my health for the evening. I also needed some dental work done and wasn’t able to get to the dentist because I was sick, which impacting my eating tremendously. I somehow maintained weight, but I desperately need to get this dialed in again. I was doing great for about a month or two and made good gains, but I’ve fallen off the horse. I’m going to be eating a shitton of red meat and drinking milk as much as I can this week.
Family: Things are starting to gel. Improvement!
Overall, not a lot to report on here. Things went well this week. I played with my daughter and son even though I’ve been on the mend, did my shit around the house, and took care of what needed to be done. I spent a whole evening with my son this last week taking him to a school event so that was an improvement. We spent time talking about the upcoming sports season that I parent-coach and he’s excited to get started. We talked about the importance of always giving your best, and how we always play to win despite whatever someone else says. There’s a scoreboard in sports for a reason. It was a good bonding moment.
Relationship: Wife is in my frame, slipped out, then back in?
We had sex 4x this week, one initiation by me, zero no’s. Two of them were full engaged passion, one was starfish in the middle. I didn’t decline the starfish because I wanted to fuck. I made the mistake of trying to lead her to intimacy in the starfish session, failed, and beat myself up about it internally. She shit tested me after the next day. I passed, and then we had good sex again. This was the only time that I initiated all week. I’m beginning to think that as long as she is in my frame I don’t have to initiate much unless I really want to take her to poundtown.
Weirdly enough, my wife does NOT want me to go caveman on her until after some sensual stuff. I take this as her wanting to get feelz and emotion. I can usually take her to a rougher session after it starts. I’m trying to take more notes as time goes on.
Even though we’re having good sex, there are some hangups with giving her oral. It hasn’t happened in a few months. I want to more than anything, but I also know that in the past I would do it to seek good lover validation from her… really badly. That’s probably half of the problem, so I’m not pushing it now. The other half is her body issues. She is very body conscious now because she is underweight at 6”0’ and less than 120lbs. She’s always had the ‘model’ body but it’s gotten pretty bad with her depression (which is all my fucking fault) and some other female shit going on. I’m not pushing it now because she is enjoying sex again and I will need to be patient here. It’s not about the number of holes or positions we fuck in – although I’ve seen improvement here dramatically – I’m not focusing on specific sexual acts the best I can.
I have seen her make herself cum a couple of times during sex in the past few weeks with manual stimulation which is VERY much an improvement for me (she never did this before). I am playing the long game here.
I lost frame Sunday. I got to be grumpy fuck when she was being lazy around the house and I was taking care of shit. It was a test that I failed, and she of course had a full day of shit testing me to extremes and validating my congruence. I heard lots of nasty shit come out of her mouth (You’re not as hot as you think you are. You only do well at your job because you’re an asshole.) but realized halfway through this was a shit test because she knew she wasn’t stepping up her game. Still, I continued to fuckup by being needy feeling her slip out of my frame. I acted like such a fucktard.
Next day, shit is happy again, we are flirting, she is happy. I’m such a retard sometimes.
I’m really wanting to take this relationship to the next level beyond having good sex and being happy most days. I want to seek out leveling up to a greater significant spiritual relationship with my wife. Think: Hippie love. This will become one of my goals when I’ve maintained frame for a longer period of time.
Overall, 5/7 days were fantastic. I am seeing great improvement.
Spiritual:
I’m continuing my journey to find my core self. It’s in there somewhere behind layers and layers of bullshit, bad training, and years of self neglect. It’s starting to appear though, but I get frustrated when I can’t find myself some days. TWOTSM has been on repeat in my ear for about 3-4 weeks now and I’m probably on listen #15. It learn something new everytime.
I’m interested in suggestions on further reading for crafting a more spiritual relationship with myself and my wife.
Career:
Shit is OK, but not going as well as I would hope. I recently hired a new Director to oversea a large portion of the business under me. He’s doing really well – but he’s new and likes pointing out all the shit that is wrong. I know it’s wrong. Everyone knows it is, but he’s playing a mean power game with others and I need to find a way to embrace him more so that he doesn’t over-run me. I need to listen more to the 48 laws of power to get smarter. He’s not a bad worker, he’s good. He just doesn’t have any tact and I don’t operate like that normally. I tend to gradually let people know about problems and when there is no traction, I don’t mind being the bulldog in the room. He just goes straight bulldog. He could be really helpful though in helping me learn to do that more. I think he’s taken advantage of me being sick lately, but that shit is going to stop.
Social:
Slacking bigtime here, which is probably why my wife slipped out of my frame a bit this week. I need to up this more. I didn’t get out once this week.
Summary:
Focus for the next week:
- FRAME. Frame is everything.
- Lift heavier.
Prepare for another overseas trip in two weeks (12 day trip) to make sure shit is taken care of at home.
you sound ALOT like me when I was your age & kinda what I went through.
IF.... you do actually change schools will there be a chance that you will have her or your bestfriend on social media posting any shit that would bother you?
Our world is so connected now bro that I dont think changing schools would help.
While, I dont know if your a reader... Reading made me make alot of sense to ALOT of B.S in my life.
read this book please, give it a try it has like 100 pages that it, literally.
It changed how I interact with people and how I understand people that do bad shit to me, because people never actually know what they are TRULY doing.
