I get it. Lift, tests, some game. I go out a little on my own. Need to do more of that. Had a decent weekend. Some sex. She made some overtures last night, thought cool, business time. When she went to get ready for bed I came in the bathroom and said put on something sexy and walked upstairs to kiss my daughter good night.

I come down and she has the not sexy pajamas on and a facial mask. I say what the hell and pull out a book. Eventually she says I'm going to bed, wanna cuddle. I say, that means I would have to stop reading. Not now. She falls asleep.

I mean I hate that I have to cut her off from affection. But I hate it more that she wants to manipulate me and try and control the frame. Like I'm dealing with my 10 year old. You can get the reward when you do you chores. Such a journey. Thanks for listening.
