3-2-1. Counting. Success or Failure? (self.marriedredpill)

submitted by johneyapocalypse

God damn, god damn, god damn. That's from a movie. I forget which one, but it's apropos.

In three months, three mother-fucking-months, I get the news… the news I've been anticipating… the news I've been expecting… the news I am willing into existence… the news I have been waiting for with baited breath… the news that few other than rulezerodad can appreciate: the news that I am cured.

8 mother-fucking years of hell. 8, mother-fucker, 8.

2 god-damn-mother-fucking years of something-worse-than-hell. 2 worse than hell.

Fuck. That.

And the news may/might/could (1) come to be, (2) bear fruit, (3) be my new reality, (4) change my life yet again, this time for the better… or it (5) may suck.

I choose to believe… to know… to feel in every atom of every cell of my body that it will be good. Damn.

Damn. Damn. Damn.

It's intense but it's my reality. Just like you have your own reality. And your reality is not - not - always good.

I know you all don't care, but I care.

  • My kids care.

  • My wife cares.

  • My family cares.

My employees - numbering a lot - well - the overwhelming majority care only so far as it relates to their own paychecks and nothing more. A handful might actually care.

  • But jesus, dudes, and very important: I care.

I check in every six months or so to provide a progress report. Not to those (cool) dudes I've been hanging with here for three years or so (and there are a lot), but, instead, to the new dudes, the dudes who are (1) lost, the dudes who are (2) bumming, the new dudes who are (3) flailing and don't know what to do.

I, weirdly, do kinda care.

Lately the new dudes here seem like first-class homos… but I won't let that get me down. I don't want to digress.

To the rest of you… know this:

I stumbled upon this dumbass place not understanding why my wife was seemingly disinterested, not understanding why my money didn't buy me happiness, not understanding why my marriage, well, sucked.

Why? Why? Why?

Lots of dudes, two in particular - stoney and steel - but don't let me get sentimental and gay - they helped me see the error of my ways and helped me stop acting like a helpless fucking victim - there are plenty of those in the world by the way, hence why your shtick doesn't work here - and instead, why it forces you to act like a man - a man on a mission - a mission of god (per blues brothers not bible) - a mission that was my mission - my family's mission - and, whether she likes it or fucking not, my wife's mission.

  • God damn.

  • God damn.

  • God damn.

Jesus, bros. Your problems are probably - in terms of probability - much, much less challenging than my own. After all, I can't very well get my wife to blow me better or give me a rim job if I'm dead.

Yet I've gotten through it. Butch up faggots - and heroin addicts alike - of which there are quite a few of late - and especially fairies-feeling-neglected by the RP quarantine - butch the fuck up...

Keep it in perspective and know this:

  • I now have a six-pack. Thanks MRP.
  • I now know stoicism. Thanks MRP.
  • I now have (great) sex. Even (better) sex. Actually, (amazing) sex with my wife.
  • This same wife - who never blew me (if you're in need of details) - now seeks me out to blow me often.

Results, mother-fuckers, results.

Perhaps more importantly, I can now deal with crazy, crazy circumstances that are about as insane and awful as they get. And I can survive. And I can thrive. And I can win, mother-fuckers, I can win.

I will win.

And so, too, will you.

Kindred spirit.

That's what you are, bro.

Props.

We have traded comments and PMed each other. You have been nothing but supportive and encouraging to my whining and faggotry.

Last Monday I received a life changing diagnosis that I refuse to accept, or give in to.

In your world, mine is a problem you probably wish you had. Blood clots. Lots of them. Third event, while already on blood thinners.

They are trying to take me off my job for 2 months, while telling me to continue to move around all day long. What the fuck do they think a local delivery driver does with 100 stops a day? I’m not taking a 60% pay cut over bullshit.

They tell me my leg will never be 100% again.

Fuck them.

I’ll fix what I want because I’m tougher than I look.

You have been an inspiration to me, and this post could not have come at a better time in MY life. Thank you so very much. No homo

Keep grinding motherfucker, so you can keep fucking your children’s mother.

“Motherfucker I may be, but the mother I fuck doesn’t belong to me.”

I get you.

But...........

Just dont be Steve Jobs and not listen to real medical advice. Dont try to cure cancer with meditation and green tea.

Steve Jobs is dead due to his fucking ego.

Dont die due to yours.

We have technology. Use it.

Everything else is spot on.

I wanted to check back AFTER I did what I set out to do.

I am a big fan of the medical community and believe they know more than ever. I take my prescription, follow the prognosis, then research the shit out of my problem and see what MORE I can do, using common sense.

6 years ago I got taken off the road for diabetes. They told me it would take me 12 weeks to fix it. I did it in 4 weeks.

3 years ago I had my first round of blood clots in my lungs. They told me a minimum of 30 days before I would be released to go back to work. I was released to work, 8 days after getting out of ICU.

This time, they told me 8 weeks before the swelling would go down enough for me to return to work. At the 2 week mark the swelling was almost gone and the Doctor released me for work. A week later he cleared me for all activity except diving and MMA. He’ll let me know about those two on my next visit in January.

I’m making shit happen. I’m almost 60 and the only medication I take is a blood thinner.

25 years. $1,400,000. Raised 7 kids across 2 marriages. Worked 6 to 30 days a week, sometimes 2 jobs. I was the ultimate beta. I had my nose to the grindstone at all times.

And then that fucking grindstone broke.

I am going to live 25 years of life in the next 5 years. I have $250,000 set aside and I will do what the fuck I want, when the fuck I want, and with who the fuck I want.

I figured you, above most, would appreciate/approve this message.

[–]red-sfpplustells 1000 lb club pussies to fuck off1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I do approve of this message as you are me, 21 years older. No doubt.

Well, minus the 5 extra kids...

What is keeping you alive? I mean, we all have a purpose - whatever that is?

My grandma is 95. Lives with my mom, does her laundry and dishes. That keeps her alive and gives her purpose.

Focus on that. Enjoy yourself and the ride.

Only point I would argue:

25 years in 5 mean nothing if those 5 years are not quality years, doing what you want, living the life you want.

Focus on quality, not quantity.

Matrix, you're always a bossy, smartass mother-fucker... doling out good-ass advice to dumbass newbies who pop in here... until you run into my posts. You just know I'm you're biggest fan, lol.

You'll get through it, dude, just like I got through... ex-fucking-wife or not... you'll get through it. Cuz you'r a strong mother-fucker. Even when you forget you're strong. Even when you're down. Even when the world has neglected you.

There are like hundreds of dudes, maybe thousands - here - who know how strong you are, mother-fucker. You just sometimes forget.

No worries.

Remember, man, remember.

I remember how strong you are.

[–]SteelSharpensSteelMRP MODERATOR4 points5 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Good thing I don't care, or else I'd be so damned pleased at you kicking butt in your life.

Win. Be the example. And if people like you and me can overcome all sorts of circumstances, well, the rest of you all have no excuse.

[–]johneyapocalypseTold Death to Fuck Off - MRP is easy mode[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Bwa. I can't say anything to you and you know that.

I'm glad you don't care. :-)

[–]weakandsensitive5 points6 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

SorcererKing fibbed a bit.

For some users, we care. But just like with your wives, give us a reason to give a shit. Whining like a bitch isn't it.

Congratulations.

I do want to add,

And so, too, will you.

Or you won't. Either case, it'll all be on you - no matter what influences external factors might have.

[–]SorcererKingMRP SAGE - MRP MODERATOR3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

You always have to read my bullshit with the right set of eyes. I very specifically said:

We take pride in good field reports where guys have put the pieces together and rebuilt themselves.

This is one of those and so much more.

[–]RuleZeroDADMRP APPROVED3 points4 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Make it count.

[–]johneyapocalypseTold Death to Fuck Off - MRP is easy mode[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Sheeit. You found the Achilles heel pretty damn quickly.

Must speak from experience. :-/

[–]SKRedPill2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

What you are determines how your life will be. Change to an attractive form, and you will attract others.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Great to hear sir, I for one care and enjoy reading your posts. Puts into perspective how some people have some real problems to deal with yet still manage to own their shit. You are an inspiration.

[–]johneyapocalypseTold Death to Fuck Off - MRP is easy mode[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Thanks bro, I'm glad to provide a little inspiration.

[–]SorcererKingMRP SAGE - MRP MODERATOR1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Congrats on the good news. We care about the guys who do the work and see the results. When they can cheat death it's so much sweeter. Carpe diem!

[–]johneyapocalypseTold Death to Fuck Off - MRP is easy mode[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Seize the day indeed.

Sweet is just the right word. :-)

RZD is spot-on... I even mentioned it in my second FR when I wrote:

While things are better, much better, I must constantly remind myself not to get too enmeshed in the day-to-day. I must remind myself: Never forget.

The irony: needing to remember not to forget.

I just wrote a note and attached it to my desk.

It says carpe diem.

It's too easy to forget that sometimes.

[–]TaipanshimshonMRP APPROVED1 point2 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

I feel like the song "Its my life" should come on

[–]RuleZeroDADMRP APPROVED0 points1 point  (4 children) | Copy Link

Bon Jovi?

You East Coasters. SMH.

[–]TaipanshimshonMRP APPROVED0 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy Link

Dont judge

[–]johneyapocalypseTold Death to Fuck Off - MRP is easy mode[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Fuck it fits.

That song now has a new meaning I never realized. Damn!

[–]TaipanshimshonMRP APPROVED0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

You’re welcome

[–]TaipanshimshonMRP APPROVED0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

And congrats

[–]screechhaterMRP APPROVED0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

Wow. Just wow.

Victims and their fucking bullshit. (Ain’t that just the truth ?)

Fuck yah it is the truth.

> Lately the new dudes here seem like first-class homos… but I won't let that get me down. I don't want to digress.

That's why this stuff is even more needed now.

[–]canooboy0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

You sir inspire me to have such an awesome life that my wife "now SEEKS ME OUT to blow me often".

I am getting more and regular sex, as my betterness approaches awesomeness, but posts like this keep my nose to the grindstone. A wife that seeks sex ... Hallay Fucking Yoolah.

You WILL win....

And so too, will I.

[–]Zormut-6 points-5 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

Your post is hard to read. What's with that ADHD formatting ?

[–]SorcererKingMRP SAGE - MRP MODERATOR2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Hey everyone, look at Zormut! He ignored the message here and focused on the form, while simultaneously ignoring context! Three cheers for his edgy criticism! The Hero of Reddit has arrived at MRP!

[–]drty_prMRP APPROVED0 points1 point  (2 children) | Copy Link

Maybe he has fuckin ADHD for all you know? Maybe he just like to write that way? Maybe you don't understand his post so have to write something negative?

Maybe, maybe, maybe

But - you can definitely fuck off - and - wait for it - nobody will give a fuck

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
