Current stats: Weight 163. SQ 175. DL 225. OHP 97. BP 135. ROW 125. Bodyfat 13-15%

Beer gut almost gone and trying to kill the last remaining soft belly fat before ramping up calories to boost my lift numbers.

For the past two months the wife has been a total cunt. I'm at the stage where DNGAF is becoming harder and I feel a lot of resentment and anger (I know. Lift and take it out on the weights) but god damn it she has flipped.

So now I'm on a business trip for 2 whole weeks and she's been constantly trying to give me shit via text, most of which I ignore. Threats to leave, says she's arranging a GNO while I'm away (Chad time) etc. Some ridiculous requests, some of which I AA with one text then ignore, and some I just ignore. I'm trying to keep it for logistics only to arrange important stuff at home. She is no doubt aware the place I'm in is awash with hot chicks. In the build up to me leaving she became a nightmare to live with and now her hamster seems to be on roids.

It's clear I've constantly struggled with the concept of frame. For some reason it seems more difficult to deal with her shit from a distance than it is face to face. It should be the opposite, right? I'm sure its gonna be lot's of fun when I get home.

How would you guys be dealing with this situation? I'm trying to just get on with my shit but finding it mentally tough. Doesn't help I'm away from the kids either, I'm pretty sure they will be having to put up with her shit too.

TL;DR I've created a monster now I'm away on a long business trip leaving it behind. She's trying to get at me from all angles via text and phone calls.

Update - now been informed she has arranged a vacation with her single, slutty friend. We all know how that goes. Act like I DGAF or call her out?

Beer gut almost gone and trying to kill the last remaining soft belly fat before ramping up calories to boost my lift numbers.

Intermittent fast for that. Praise be to RZD. Got me from a 4-pack to a 6-pack. Looks like I might even get those vertical thingies after all.

Here's what I would do:

  • Threats to leave: Arrange to have her shit moved out.
  • GNO while you're away: Let her fucking go, then move her shit out while she's gone.
  • Some ridiculous requests: Refer her to your secretary.

She is no doubt aware the place I'm in is awash with hot chicks.

Sure.

Now her hamster seems to be on roids.

Or maybe she's just a particularly bitchy wife.

I'm trying to just get on with my shit but finding it mentally tough.

Stop crying pussy. Mentally tough my ass.

Imagine getting tied to a gurney, covered with rotting cheese, and eaten alive by hungry rats.

Mentally tough. Christ.

Call your mommy and tell her that life is mentally tough. Maybe she'll send you a care package.

I used to love those when I was twelve.

Needed this. Also, RZD?

[–]CaptJohnLukeDiscard1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Good post. What is RZD?

[–]johneyapocalypseThe one that says "Bad Motherfucker"1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

RZD = RuleZeroDad.

He turned me onto IF.

Edit - that shit works. Half the people I know are doing it now and to a 't' everyone agrees that it's quite easy.

[–]rocknrollchuck1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I can vouch for IF as well. I dropped 68 lbs in 2-1/2 years doing it, and still do it to maintain my leanness.

[–]JudgeDoom690 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy Link

Intermittent fast for that

Which version of IF have you found to be most effective?

[–]johneyapocalypseThe one that says "Bad Motherfucker"1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

20/4 or 19/5 - five days a week.

I don't worry about it on the weekends.

My "window" of 4 hours is 6:30pm - 10:30pm which may not be ideal when it comes to hormonal changes and circadian rhythm - but it's working and it's very easy for me.

[–]simbarlionRed Beret0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

Curious to know your normal gym time. Before 6.30…?

[–]johneyapocalypseThe one that says "Bad Motherfucker"1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

As early as 5pm and as late as 6pm, depending on how the day has gone. Then, on the weekend, anytime of the day, though different than 5/6, as I feel strongly that changing things up throughout the week (time, schedule, routine, eating habits, meal times, etc.) is good.

I had figured fasting workouts would be challenging, especially after 18/19 hours, but oddly, they are even better than before. I have a weird energy - sort of like working out high, which itself can be amazing.

Occasionally I feel a little whipped around 3/4 so I walk a mile to perk up. Then I walk another mile after my workout.

[–]ReddJiveRed Beret6 points7 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Turn her texts sexual.

RESPONSE: I love you and I love tacos. Some days I love you more than tacos. Now put your hair back the way I like before I replace you with tacos.

RESPONSE 2: I miss your tits. Send a photo.

RESPONSE 3: Stop. I can't focus on that I have a one track mind. Send a picture of your ass and everthing will be fine.

RESPONSE TO GNO: Have fun and send nudes when you get home so I know you made it back safe.

With the limited puke you gave, it seems like your in her frame still. Still. STILL.

Think of communication like a boxing match. Both fighters supposed to be ready and engaged in this, right? You got 90's Tyson in his prime (supposed to be you) and some chump who's just there for the purse (her). Remember, you are the prize, not her.

The contender has been training for months asking himself "what the fuck is Tyson going to do to me?". The contender is IN Mike's frame. Watching his head, his eyes, his waist, his feet, his arms, and most importantly his gloves. This is clearly MIKE's fight and he's just trying to survive. Mike Tyson famously said once "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth". Mike knew that as soon as shit gets real, their training, their planning, their conditioning, their sparring, their FRAME would disappear and his would be the only frame that mattered.

Now imaging, the bell rights, but what's this? Tyson isn't swinging!? This chump knows he's is supposed to lose, he's gonna lose, but what the fuck is Mike doing? He's not even in a fighting stance or has his hands up. So, chump starts to jab Mike nervously thinking it's a trap. A little more to see if he will start moving. Nothing. Now the chump swings harder and harder, but Mike is a being a dickless piece of shit. Now the chump is actually mad or thinks he actually might win. Round 1 over. Mike is asking "why'th that guy tho pithed offt?" and Cus says "because Mike, YOU supposed to be punching him with your moves, your routine, your training, your power. Mike, you are the champ you bag of meat, get out there and make your moves".

Get it? This is why you are called a pussy and a faggot on here.

Instead of waiting for her to contact you and get mad at your absolute lack of game on top of being gone, she is having to reach out to you! Bringing the only thing she knows, which is small jabs, weak punches, and anger to see if you will start moving. That's how you gotta see shit tests, as if she's looking for your leadership and strength and not finding it. Acta non verba. Your actions show no interest. You should be running the show from afar. Telling her what to do, what to wear, what angle to take those nudes at, when you are going to watch her masturbate via facetime, which dildo to put in which hole. You are the prize, she is just there for the purse. She is the chump, the side kick, supporting actress in YOUR movie. Start telling her you kind of miss her and forgot what those tits look like. Jab her when she isn't expecting it. Like when she is at work, insist she go in the bathroom or under the desk to do some hot shit for you right now.

[–]lionmenden2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

You've got to realize this is as much a comfort test as a shit test. Shit tests are either fitness (see if you'll break frame) or compliance (make you break frame and do what she wants) tests. She's not really demanding anything, other than comfort.

If you can control your facial expression, FaceTime her, if not call her. "I got your texts. If you want to leave, knock yourself out. I'll help you pack when I get home. If you want to go on a girls night and fuck a guy, knock yourself out. I'll help you pack when I get home. If not, then cut the shit. Take care of the kids, pour yourself a bath and glass of wine at night and enjoy some time to yourself. I will be home in X days and I will handle everything then."

If she asks if you're cheating, answer "Now why would I want to do something like that?" but when she gets into how she's being a bitch and you must hate her, be frank with her "I don't like your behavior, but no, I'm not cheating." Throw some comfort on there, you love her and will be home with her soon, but be firm on no more shit texts.

threats to leave

Welp, she knows YOU aren't going anywhere so expect this behavior of hers to continue.

If I were you, I'd extend your stay for another week for "personal time" and let her know that if she continues to make threats regarding your family unit, you'll have papers for her to sign when you return. You have to make her understand that you will not hesitate to burn the ship to the ground if she continues to disrespect you.

[–]RedPill-BlackLotusRed Beret1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Every time she sends you a text that's no logistics reply with a pick of bert Reynolds. Start with Smokey in the bandit, save gator for when she's really pisssd. As soon as the word divorce comes up, Google image sean Connery in zardoz and send that over.

[–]donedreadpirateRed Beret1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I would handle it by having a really fucking AWESOME time meeting women who don't suck. I'd be going out every night practicing game. I'd be working out every day after work. I'd be working my ass off, unlike you.

So now I'm on a business trip for 2 whole weeks and she's been constantly trying to give me shit via text, most of which I ignore. Threats to leave, says she's arranging a GNO while I'm away (Chad time) etc. Some ridiculous requests, some of which I AA with one text then ignore, and some I just ignore.

I have a Doberman. When he was a young adolescent pupper he had a bad habit of jumping on people. Now me, personally, I love Dobies, but if your not a fan or don't know him, a 90lb Doberman jumping on you can scare the living shit out of you.

The thing is with dogs they don't have hands. So the way they socialize with humans they do it through contact. Little dogs no one gives a fuck if they jump, but big dogs scares people. Big black pointy eared dobermans scare the fuck out of people.

So how do you get a 90 lb Doberman to stop jumping? You fucking ignore him. Fold your arms and do not interact with him one bit. I had to have support from people coming to the house, but I would ask them the same thing, "He's learning to be a good boy. Fold your arms, do not touch him with your hands and turn away from him if he jumps"

After a month of training him and people I had a wonderful, sociable, good boy. He saw peoples hands as the primary point of contact, and when he jumped he would be rewarded with that contact. He had to learn, contact would be given on the humans terms, not his.

Your wife is getting contact by you engaging her. You're operating in her frame by even slightly engaging in text. You need to fold your arms and turn away.

What do you think the outcome would be if you ignored her text, and instead called her to say "Hmmm, I think this is very important. Don't you think we should be adults and discuss it face to face given how important it is?"

Establish boundaries.

Define what good behavior is

Give her an example of good behavior.

Reward her when she does behave correctly.

I'll even give you a Masters Level tip. Use her feelings to get her to change her own behavior.

"Babe, I understand you're [frustrated/hurt/upset]. I need your help. I'm away on business, and I know this is important to you, right? So can you help me?"

This is the important part. If people agree to help, later on they will generally not go back on that as it presents a cognitive dissonance.

Then tell her, "Babe, let's take the weeks time I'm gone to really focus on thinking about how to make this a great marriage. I want it to be great, do you? can you help me with that?"

[–]RedPillCoach1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

wife has been a total cunt.

What does this mean? You describe how she is texting and calling. That sounds like absolutely adorable mate guarding behavior. This is a basic comfort test and if you really do love your wife passing it is a piece of cake. If you really don't, it becomes more difficult.

DNGAF

Is about losing your 'give a fucks' about her silly drama. It is not about losing your 'give a fucks' for your wife. If you do that it is usually game over.

I can't believe I have to keep pointing this out.

[–]screechhaterRed Beret1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Lost count on how many “she” “her”.

Your hamster is awash with what ifs.

Hard stop on who you are living for.

It’s time to decide who you live for

Tell me good life gets without the gut, reading the sidebar and your lifts improving

[–]Awakeningof17[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

This. I will tell you how good it gets when I start putting in the work required instead of coming here and acting like a faggot.

[–]screechhaterRed Beret0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

1 Self respect. Cut the self deflating comments.

2 STFU especially in response to the caddy bull shit comments until you can blow that shit up with humor

  1. Lift.

4 read. .

[–]red-sfpplusHard Core Red1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

My Girlfriend drained my balls Saturday night before she dropped me off at the airport Sunday before I flew to Vegas.

Sends daily nudes.

Have not heard from wife all week.

Its been a good week.

[–]MrChad_ThundercockBig Red Machine-1 points0 points  (6 children) | Copy Link

“and now her hamster seems to be on roids.”

You have a fucking beer gut faggot, she knows you can’t fuck any strange on your business trip.

She’s a cunt because she resents you for being a loser.

[–]Awakeningof17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Can't disagree with this.

[–]lionmenden0 points1 point  (4 children) | Copy Link

Even at 20% bodyfat I have had attractive girls in hotel bars literally beg me to sleep with them while on business travel. If he's 13-15% like he says, he's going to look fine with a shirt on. His wife just sees him drop weight and then leave town for two weeks. She's tossing comfort tests.

[–]MrChad_ThundercockBig Red Machine2 points3 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

His lifting numbers are weak as fuck and has a beer gut. He’s skinny fat, has no frame, and is an emotional tampon.

She ain’t feelzing no dread. Pure resentment for his lack of leadership.

He overwhelmes her with faggot beta traits all day long. She is craving an alpha cock.

[–]Awakeningof17[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I started with a beer gut, its almost gone. She knows I can fuck strange. Problem is I haven't been acting on the IOI's due to being a faithful faggot.

[–]simbarlionRed Beret1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm guessing she knows you won't

[–]MrChad_ThundercockBig Red Machine1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

“he's going to look fine with a shirt on”

Faggot

[–]BobbyPeruRed Beret0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

For some reason it seems more difficult to deal with her shit from a distance than it is face to face

You know the reason is because Chad could be fucking her while you’re on the phone with her, and you wouldn’t know it

Listen, your numbers suggest you are skinny fat. What is your height?

[–]Awakeningof17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

5'9". I get IOI's all the time. My looks compensate for the lack of six pack. I have close to a four pack but lower area carrying some loose fat.

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

you can't be at 13 to 15 percent body fat and have the beer gut "almost gone".

[–]IRunYourRiver-2 points-1 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Take out your frustrations here. And realize that it's your job to suffer, at least for now.

[–]DanceMonkeeDanceRed Beret4 points5 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

This is dumb as shit. What kind of advice is this? I'm not here for OP to take his frustration out on. And even faggots like him don't have to choose to suffer.

[–]MrChad_ThundercockBig Red Machine2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Yeah...that was a homosexual comment.

What part of You Are the Prize has to do with suffering.

[–]IRunYourRiver0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Victim pukes. Which is one of the designated uses of askMRP.

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