So full disclosure, I have been following my MAP with fits and starts. I started getting into some new hobbies: hunting, brewing, building furniture and have put away some childish activities like playing video games. My physical conditioning and strength has improved but my weight hasnt fallen because of diet and beer. Ive been getting to my workouts 4x a week but since they start at 545am, I don't always get my 7 hours of sleep. Have taken on new leadership positions at work, but finding myself stretched thin and not always able to fulfill all my responsibilities. Ive led at home and on vacation, but have had at least 2 moments of butthurt in the past 3 months and lost frame with the kids and wife more then a few times. Been getting a ton of IOIs and have cheated twice, but have recommitted to be faithful with no desire to end the marriage. Cheating and hiding it from her is Beta and until I am ready to be open with her about it, I will be faithful.

What I am trying to say is that I am not perfect, my journey has not been perfect, my MAP has been an up and down journey and yet the results are evident everywhere. Here's the latest proof.

Wife and I are drinking wine and watching a movie I picked a few nights ago called, "The Family Stone". Its a movie we hadnt seen in years about a female dominated family with a storyline taken from a Shakespearian comedy. Basically, the "strong" (bitchy) women in a family don't accept a new female fiance and as events unfold, she falls in love with the other brother and her bf falls in love with her sister.

As we are watching the movie, the matriarch begins to tear into the fiance while her castrated son just sits helpless.

I say to my wife, "She's a bitch."

My wife says to me, "I hope I dont act like that when one of our sons brings a girl home And----"

I immediately cut her off, put my hand under her chin, look her in the eye and say, "Don't worry, I'll put you in your place so damn fast."

She smiles, says, "Good." Then rubs up against my side, leans into me and rests her head on my chest.

Then she says, "You do a good job keeping me in my place and not letting me get out of line."

My brain exploded. This is the same woman who I used to get in fights with all the time. The one whose mom told me, before we were married that she was, "high strung like a racehorse." The woman who once (pre MRP) told me, "Why are you acting like such a baby?" When I was complaining about not having sex.

That same woman is now secure, knowing she has someone willing to "tame" her, someone who she feels is worth being tamed by.

Gentlemen, this is progress.

Here's your attaboy. Now back to work.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Always.

[–]2ndal27 points28 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

It sounds like you've stopped going to mommy for validation. Good. Your next challenge is to stop coming to us for the same thing.

TLDR: man stops acting like a TOTAL cunt and wife stops treating him like a TOTAL cunt.

Watching what she does rather than what she says ; is she draining your balls and making sandwiches on the regular?

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

Cooks me breakfast every morning when I get back from workouts. Sex when not shark week every 2-3 days and good quality. Honestly, I am beyond keeping track of that. I have alot of hobbies and friends, go out with friends 2 or 3 times a week. So when I want to, we do it. I have room to improve. Its just amazing what they say/do when they are allowed.

[–]PersaeusMRP APPROVED5 points6 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Nice ; especially not tracking. Keep your foot on the gas

[–]BobbyPeruMRP Approved2 points3 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Breakfast is one thing.

She has to make a good “sammich”

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I'm not gonna eat a damn sammich. Fry me up 4 or 5 eggs instead.

[–]BobbyPeruMRP Approved1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

What about lunch? A good sammich is the American way

[–]BobbyPeruMRP Approved4 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Great. But, keep your foot on the gas pedal - harder shit tests usually follow comments like that. She’ll want to make sure your frame is real.

[–]SgtSilverBack6 points7 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

By your own admission you have put in shit work. Your wife hasn't castrated you for sucking. Try doing a quality job and see how she acts.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Idk about shit work, but I'm not perfect. And you are right, I can do better.

[–]snatch_haggisCaptain Awesome's Understudy2 points3 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Maybe you'd make more consistent progress if you posted in OYS once a week instead of posting these FR's every 6 months.

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

That's probably true. But I'm pretty sure my progress has been consistent. Not flawless, but consistent improvement in almost all areas of life. Especially compared to 1 year ago.

My physical conditioning and strength has improved but my weight hasnt fallen because of diet and beer.

No description of your body, so I'm not sure what your goal is. If you're lifting a lot, weight staying flat might be a good thing if you're turning fat into muscle. I did that for a solid year and a half.

Brewing is fun, and it's much harder for me to turn down a beer I or somebody I know personally made.

Been getting a ton of IOIs and have cheated twice,

No description of your body, so maybe only cheating twice represents a great feat of self-control on your part. I mean, if the women are throwing themselves at you, one is bound to accidentally land on your cock eventually. Not sure if that means you landed in the same pussy twice, or different pussy separately. Later you say your wife is taking care of business every two-or-three days. If that was my story, I'd probably stop banging my plate.

“Brewing is fun, and it's much harder for me to turn down a beer I or somebody I know personally made.”

I sold all equipment. 3 keggles, burner, counter flow heat exchanger, corny keg and all the rest of what is needed.

Fastest (skinny fat) I ever saw myself (through looking back at pictures) was this epoch.

[–]AechzenMRP APPROVED2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I get it, but seems sad to say goodbye to all that equipment. I don't get emotional at most of these posts, but <holds back sobs> the heat exchanger. My God, man.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I sold/gave away all my homebrew equipment too.

Sad but necessary. Buddy is loving my homebuilt triple corny keezer.

[–]470_2_700_nm0 points1 point  (8 children) | Copy Link

What the fuck is this shit post.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (7 children) | Copy Link

The kind of people I lead and interact with daily are the kind of people you build fences to keep out. The place I love and raise my family in is the kind of place that makes you harder, makes you tougher. Go back to your nice little house in your safe little suburb with your "net worth" bullshit and pretend you're a man because you eat keto.

[–]TaipanshimshonMRP APPROVED4 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

are you sure you are in the right sub?

Who said anything about people you interact with? whats with the dick measuring contest?

[–]SorcererKingMRP SAGE - MRP MODERATOR2 points3 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

Whoa, where'd the fangs come from? You were doing so well, then total frame fail.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

If you want to offer critique I am willing to listen and accept/pushback. If he wants to troll then I will troll back.

[–]SorcererKingMRP SAGE - MRP MODERATOR1 point2 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

It's all right there.

[–]DownVoteForDickPic 1 points1 points [recovered] | Copy Link

Yep. You don't troll trolls. No value to be gained. Walk away from idiocy (don't reply).

[–]470_2_700_nm4 points5 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

If calling someone out for looking to get validated about progress, typing every other paragraph beginning with “she” and failing to provide any real tangeable and actionable advice to the main MRP comminity is the definition of a troll, well, I’m guilty as charged.

I’m not here to see a bunch of men jerk each other off. I stand by my original comment. What the fuck is this doing in the MRP main sub, because IMHO, it is an absolute shit post.

I’ll concede at the very least it did spawn a) my own introspection on whether or not it was warented that I call someone else out on posting such crap and 2) demonstrate that OP isn’t quite as far along as he could be.

Gargantublarg set the bar at “here is your example”. I intend to do everything I can to hold that bar.
What would I suggest you might ask? Well this mother fucker here is a serious athlete. Probably played in front of +50k crowds. Would relish the opportunity to hear an MRP story from that perspective.

But for now, let’s start with how the man boobs are doing... how did OP get rid of them? I bet 50% reading this sub could benefit. That there is actionable, tangeagle advice that is what makes this sub so great.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I appreciate that criticism. I don't agree that it was onanistic, but I do agree a step by step process of what I did to get rid of the bitch tits would be more helpful and less seeking validation. I'll put a post together on that topic.

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