7 weeks of having sex less than once every two weeks, and the wife leaves for a 10 day work trip.
Husband sends email basically stating that he won't miss his wife for the next 10 days (wife's words) and attaches spreadsheet to wife's work email (to ensure she got it) of every time he has initiates sex in the past 7 weeks, whether sex was had, and if it wasn't, what the reason for it not happening from the woman's side was.
The first thing the wife says is that this is a side of her husband that she has never seen before. She describes him as being bitter, immature, and full of hatred.
Our sex life HAS tapered in the last few months, but isn't that allowed?
We are adults leading busy, stressful lives. I cook for him, I do his laundry, I keep our house clean and tidy. It's not like our sex life was going to be this way FOREVER
This is where we are at with women, folks.
The first reply to the thread is by a prominent female user of /r/relationships. This user has been on /r/relationships for an extremely long time, always having highly upvoted posts. Her reply is the most upvoted reply with 150 points.
If someone had constructed a spreadsheet of reasons why I wouldn't have sex with them, it would make me instantly want to pounce on their cock and worship them like the god of sex they clearly are. No wait - it would make me feel nauseous and like I didn't want them anywhere near me. That's beyond pathetic.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that anyone with a semblance of and understanding of how relationships work would know that the husband in the situation isn't after sex anymore. He's clearly taking a nuclear option. How far he will go down that path is unknown. But it's clear that his goal isn't to convince his wife to fuck him by sending her a spreadsheet. This is something that /u/LittleMissP seemed to overlook, and similarly something that /r/relationship users upvoted. This says a lot about that community.
I'm going to take a detour and talk about the whole situation this guy finds himself in, and people's perception of him.
The red pill truth is that he is a beta. He is already unattractive because he is unable to get sex from his wife. People aren't stupid. Women especially. Even more so women that have been with lots of men.
They connect the dots. Regardless of if they are thinking about it at the forefront of their mind, or subconsciously.
The fact that he cannot get sex from his wife often implies many things. Selection bias comes in to play. On top of that, women are biologically constructed machines aimed at surviving and producing offspring. They will smell his SMV from a mile away.
Take a look at how they described him. His wife described the email that he wrote as a sarcastic diatribe, and described him as bitter, immature, and full of hatred. /u/LittleMissP described him as beyond pathetic.
For what? He bought a house with her, he has a job, he doesn't hit her, he doesn't call her names, he doesn't abuse her. How do we know that? Oh, you can bet that those are true or else the professional victim OP would have been all over them in her post.
Realistically that husband, or someone else in his position would try to take the correct channel in fixing a problem. Specifically the blue pill strategy that they think is correct. Being nice to their wife, not stepping on her toes, legitimately asking for sex. And then when the sex wouldn't happen, he would try to fix what's stopping it. If his wife is tired, he would let her sleep so that they could have sex after, only for her to wake up with another excuse. She's full, but after she's better, she wants to watch a FRIENDS rerun. This blue pill man more or less took this path, and the next logical step in the correct approach path. Every time one excuse was solved, another would pop up. He detailed all of the excuses and sent it to her to show her that he can't solve all of her excuses. He is looking for her to give him an opening of the next thing that he could solve to get sex. He sees sex as a reward and knows that he must do something to attain it.
What was /u/LittleMissP's advice?
And that would be the point to have a clothes on conversation about your concerns. Not construct a spreadsheet that you email as she leaves the country for 10 days.
Let me ask this. What would be the point of having a clothed conversation? Wife agrees to sex with husband 3 times in 7 weeks. Wife rejects husband's advances 24 times. She doesn't re-initiate sex. Actually, she never initiates sex. She isn't concerned with satisfying her husband before leaving for a 10 day work trip. She is unconcerned about his emotional well being and never mentioned once how he feels.
LittleMissP followed up with:
If he is so hurt and damaged by her rejecting him so much (which isn't me being snarky - being rejected constantly is pretty hard on the self esteem) then he should have told her how awful he was feeling
Yes, apparently the wife is too stupid to tell that he is hurt and damaged by being rejected 24 times in the span of 7 weeks. He needs to tell her. There is no way that she could use 10 brain cells to figure that out on her own.
Be very careful with these people that subscribe to the ideology of verbal communication for everything. Non-verbal communication is just that, non-verbal communication. The wife has communicated that she really couldn't give a flying fuck about her husband's sexual satisfaction.
The supposed solution to this problem would be to talk to her about it verbally with something like what a user in that thread posted:
Babe, I've been keeping count, it's been 3 times in the past 2 months. I'm getting shot down 9 times out of 10. The lack of any sort of intimacy is way more of a problem than you seem to understand
First of all, he wouldn't have the strength to stomach it all and call her babe. Frankly, I think that anyone that stomachs this kind of stuff is a doormat. I think that the reason why I and a lot of red pill men consistently get what we want is because we don't' stomach anything and we demand what we want; scratch that, we attain what we desire. I don't demand respect, I instill it. I don't ask for sex, I make her crave it. That is the difference between trying to be nice to get something, and actually going and getting it.
Well, with that response that the user suggested, he would still get ostracized for "counting". And what would she reply with? "I can't believe how wrong I was, what have I done?". Of course not. All that he would achieve would be to simply bring it up.
He knew about it, she knew about it. Great, you have now verbally pointed out that there is an elephant in the room, that you both knew was there the whole time. Guess what, the elephant didn't leave the room just because you pointed him out. The core problem will persist.
And this is where blue pill strategizing will lead you. Not only did you stomach getting rejected 24 times in 7 weeks while trying to do the right thing, not pressuring her into sex, trying to fix what was stopping the sex, but you actively tried 24 times, failing each time.
God forbid that you feel a little bitter that your whole life you were told that love triumphs all. That something like this could never happen if you had a job, got a house with your wife, didn't abuse her or anything like that. You did nothing wrong, you did everything according to the way society told you that you should do it, and now you're in a sexless marriage.
This is actually the man's first step into dark territory. This is the first time that he has stepped out and done something against what society told him was the right thing to do. This is the first step that he took into potentially leading a red pill life. He knew the societal repercussions and he still took that step.
What did his wife say before?
Our sex life HAS tapered in the last few months, but isn't that allowed?
We are adults leading busy, stressful lives. I cook for him, I do his laundry, I keep our house clean and tidy. It's not like our sex life was going to be this way FOREVER
This is where we are at folks. As the red pill has been preaching for some time now, you can clearly see this sentiment unequivocally being expressed by a married woman. During a marriage, women are allowed to turn down the sex. Let this be a warning for you. I want you to remember this along with all of the other things that Red Pill preaches years from now when you are thinking of getting married. And then cup your balls and have a good feel, because those won't be there once you sign the marriage contract.
I will be posting a sort of follow up to this when I have time, stay tuned for that
To anyone reading this that is living in a similar situation.
You don't have to keep living life that way. There is another way. I have a girl right now that is literally begging me to suck me off and cum on her face. You don't have to live a life where you have to ask for sex only to be rejected. Come live life with me on my side where you will enjoy it, and women will actually enjoy and crave your company. Can you remember the last time your wife craved you? There are lots of girls that I have slept with in the past, after which I proceeded to go AWOL; I still get snapchats from them. I didn't keep them around for one reason or another because I wanted to enjoy my life as much as I could. And while I enjoyed my life with them, I moved on to other girls and things that I enjoyed even more. Whereas you are living a life now with someone that you do not enjoy, I am cherry picking what I enjoy the most. You don't have to live life the way you do now.
And to end things on a bright note, some people over at /r/relationships did know what they were talking about to an extent. Here was my favorite response:
OP, your husband doesn't give a shit about the house being clean or tidy. He'd rather get a blowjob.
If you don't believe me, go spend some time at /r/deadbedrooms
Seriously if you are being honest about being "too busy cleaning" to have sex, stop. fucking. cleaning. You are fucking up your marriage.

I kind of feel like throwing up right now. Men that I went to high school with (going on 30 years ago, we are approaching 50) are posting this on Facebook and shaming the husband. I'm talking police officers, ex military, all of the guys.
They are treating this as if it is completely normal, so I'm assuming they all have dead bedrooms themselves and are completely submissive to their wives.
The end of dudes.
YouDislikeMyOpinion 9y ago
What were their general sentiments?
If they were making fun of a man (boy?) who is resorting to making a spreadsheet to "tell" his wife that they are not having enough sex, then I'd be right on board with them to a degree.
But if they are hating on him for not doing the Right Thing™, then I understand. End of dudes it is.
CornyHoosier 9y ago
You hit the nail on the head there man.
Two things stuck out when I was initially reading her post. The first was that she had nothing nice to say about her husband. The second was that she left on a 10 day trip and they didn't have any sort of sex before hand. That's absurd.
I'm older than both of them and have an insane work schedule from time to time. I'm quite familiar with the feeling of waking up, working, then coming home to sleep and do it all over again. You feel drained, and yes, at times your social and sex life takes a hit. However, I can't think of a single time (while in a relationship) that you didn't enjoy your time with your SO before you left.
Long work hours, dumb excuses, minimal and dispassionate sex & no mention of positive traits about her husband ... all signs point to her fucking another guy.

It's pointless to argue about this stuff with women. The hamster is not simply made up - it's real, biological, hardwired in their brains. Logic doesn't matter, arguments don't matter. Whatever comes out of women's mouth regarding relationshits is aimed at optimization of the survival and the quality of the offspring. Man doesn't matter, and when it appears that he does - it's only due to higher purpose: to ensure the survival and the quality of the offspring.

Sadly, I'm thinking there's not much this guy can do but seriously threaten and possibly exercise the nuclear option. This is all about what makes her panties wet.
Here's my view of these type situations. They've been together for 5 years. The longer a woman has been married to (or with) a man the more her view of his beta/alpha ratio becomes set in stone. Once it tips over a certain ratio he's no longer making her panties wet (if he ever did) Going to be very hard to change at that point no matter how much he goes to the gym; dresses better; takes up new "manly" hobbies, gets a better career, etc. She will always have those uber-beta moments of the past burned in her brain and his self-improvement efforts will be viewed as just a different form of beta begging/desperate/pleading for sex from her. (and this is the problem I have with some of the stuff I've read over at MMSL)
Short of increasing his SMV exponentially via body & personality changes; actually moving out for a time; attracting some other women; and perhaps joining the Hells Angels, Navy Seals or something drastic like that ... her panties will never really get wet from just being around him or thinking of him despite his self-improvements, because all those beta-moments will always be there in her psyche.
(btw - I see no point in his having showed her the spreadsheet .... it was, however, probably a good exercise to conduct for his own interest/edification/enlightenment though to really solidify in his own mind how much he doesn't make her panties wet. In fact, mostly due to the whole "spreadsheet" thing I'd say the odds are pretty good she will be finding someone who does while on her 10 day business trip. By confronting her with the spreadsheet he's done nothing point out to her in black-and-white just how much he DOESN'T make her panties wet. (Solipsism ... she's going to view it in terms of her own life, not his) He's decreased his own SMV in her eyes by showing her in black-and-white just how sexually unattractive he is to her. A good self-test of his own SMV while she's gone on the trip would be to see if he can find another woman of equal or higher SMV than his wife whose panties he DOES makes wet. If not, then the spreadsheet might begin to make some sense to him. And this, my friends, is The Red Pill. Down it with the beverage of your choice lest it stick in your throat. Some men choose alcohol, some choose television or other diversions. I don't recommend those options.)
YouDislikeMyOpinion 9y ago
I have an additional view about her seeing him betafied in her mind forever.
One part of it is that he made himself into a betafied pussy in her eyes. But the second thing is that she is the type of woman that will bring him down to that level continuously in her mind. I see that trait in women, not as on/off switch that is permanently on, but as a dial from 0 to 100, with a bell curve distribution.
You're bang on with everything else. Great analysis.

If you are going to marry, you actually need to be more alpha to hold down the girl than you would if you kept it at a plate. That's the problem - this guy was likely pretty full beta, but alpha enough that she could tolerate sex and rationalize being in love. Decent enough (still shitty, but functionally shitty) for a LTR) but not going to cut it for marriage, given that marriage is a massive power swing in the female's favor - and women know this, which is why they pursue it so hard when they start to feel their power dropping in the dating market.
Obviously marriage is retarded in the US unless you want to have kids in the nuclear setting in the near future, but if you must marry, think of it as a call to elevate yourself. Now that you are vulnerable, you need to run a little more dread, hit the gym that much harder, have other women "orbiters", and never ever beg for sex. Either fuck her or go out that night if she won't fuck (and isn't sick or has some real reason for not being up for it).
I blame this guy more than the girl because it's his responsibility to solve his problems proactively in a non-passive aggressive aspergersy manner. Face to face, lay out the options, present his side, decide what HE is going to do, remain stoic, and be prepared to handle the nuclear shit-tests. He is spineless - he is trying to solve the problem from afar with a grade sheet or observational study of her behavior (as if such a logical breakdown would mean anything to a woman).
Always, always counteract the betafication that marriage represents by climbing a point or two in SMV, tightening your leader frame, and running a little dread game. After all, marriage is simply nothing more than dread game being run on you.
DanG3 9y ago
"I blame this guy ... "
From an informed RP perspective, sure, he's guilty. HE should have known better. BUT what has been bothering me is, HOW should he have known better? I mean, according to most of the world, TRP sucks and is bullshit, right? How about those wedding vows - "To have and to hold ... ?" Should he have been told at the Men's Club that has been invaded by women? Maybe by his dad? Well, Dad wasn't around because the feminists told his mother in sooo many ways that she didn't need to have a man in the house. I guess Dad should have known better? How should Spreadsheet Man have known that you have to keep Gaming your wife after she gets her wedding?

Invalidity 9y ago
A conversation isn't going to get you sex. You can build attraction through conversation, if and ONLY if there was any attraction there to begin with.
He got sex because he kept pestering her. That's as low as it gets. But this guy is not an exception to the rule: he is the rule. Many men will tell you that the sex life drops off dramatically after marriage. Let me tell you this, UNLESS the couple has had a baby, there is no reason for the frequency of sex to diminish. When you date a woman, she likely has her own responsibilities to attend to. If she was that busy, she wouldn't have sex regardless of whether you are married or not. But we know that isn't true.
Marriage is a test that many men fail, which ultimately renders them that much more unattractive. If you go into a marriage with any fears whatsoever of divorce, you will fall into whatever traps your wife sets for you. You MUST have a lot of character and strength if you plan to marry.

mordanus 9y ago
I see this one differently than a lot of people. I went through almost the exact same shit with my wife. At one point in my marriage she tried to actually friend zone me. She actually said that she feels that sex doesn't have to be a part of marriage and that we should just be good friends. I asked her if she honestly felt that she was a good enough friend to me for me to be wasting time with her. Why wouldn't I go live with my guy friends and pool our resources instead of waste my time with her? I told her the only thing she had to offer me that my friends couldn't give me was sex.
I also see a lot of people saying that that she has an obligation to fuck her husband and I disagree strongly. A husband doesn't deserve sex and I think that this is an essential thing to understand if you want a red pill LTR. You have to earn it. We all know that the reason this guy isn't getting the sex he wants is because he doesn't do it for his wife. She isn't attracted to him for whatever reason and he can't fix that by bitching to her about it.
When you point out that your wife isn't being a good wife by not blowing you every time you ask is obligation and duty sex if she cares at all. Trust me that duty sex is terrible. You get the physical gratification with none of the validation that comes from someone actually wanting you. I've been there for a decade and it's lonely as fuck.
What this guy needs to do is accept that his wife doesn't like him as he is and either try to improve himself or leave. Pointing out how resentful he is towards her just makes her resent him in return.
DurdensWrath 9y ago
One thing I did with my long term girlfriend, is I moved her to the guest room when she didn't give me sex. "The guest room is for guests, when you find my girlfriend, you can come back to bed".

Doomsday_ 9y ago
Best part of the wife's story is how she freaks out when her husband won't return her calls & emails. No-contact dread game hits her harder than any BP style verbal communication ever could.
KyfhoMyoba 9y ago
Yep. Nonverbal communication is still communication. And apparently more believable, too.
leftajar 9y ago
Beautiful point, and I want to expand on it.
Open communication is a great policy for friendship and certain work relationships.
The problem is when we move into heterosexual relationships. Dominance and submission is the core dance of male-female mating. Bringing a problem to your wife openly and honestly like that is, by nature, submission to her opinion. "Here is my problem, honey, please address it." That is inherently submissive, and therefore inherently unattractive to women.
Literally, the /r/relationships strategy will worsen the problem. Just another piece of bluepill advice that makes logical sense but ignores the true nature of women.

Thank goodness there are actually some decent responses in there that aren't being downvoted. OP doesn't have sex with her HUSBAND and she plays the victim card asking reddit what shes supposed to do about her scumbag husband... here's an idea, have sex with your HUSBAND. Women want sex just as much as men, and if this woman has zero sex drive there is something seriously wrong with her. The spreadsheet is beta as hell but at the very least its hows how deeply frustrated he is about the lack of sex, and how long he's been frustrated about it. And fuck that sub, its full of blue pill betas and women just reinforcing/encouraging beta behaviour. Any time I post any relationship advice telling a dude to man the fuck up, people look up my post history, see I post on TRP, and immediately I'm met with 30 downvotes.

Duty sex barely papers over the cracks. You can't negotiate desire and make an agreement for sex 2x a week. Very unsexy.
How about he works on himself to become more attractive instead of being a whiny bitch. Yeah he's frustrated. I get it. But what is he going to do beyond pestering her for sex and making spreadsheets about how much he isn't having sex?
esproductions 9y ago
Yeah I get it, this guy could be a total loser in which case its not her fault she doesn't wanna fuck him. But she doesn't mention that her lack of sex drive is because he's let himself go or whatever, she just says its because she cleans and cooks etc. We really don't know why they aren't fucking, but she should really be working it out with her husband, not posting about it on motherfucking reddit for affirmation.
seethelight476 9y ago
"she doesn't mention that her lack of sex drive is because he's let himself go"
That's way too honest and simple for her to figure out and to communicate to him. I don't know if this guy could take such an ego blow.
"Hey honey, I'm not having as much sex with you as you would like because your sexual value is tanking below mine. You can fix this if you start working on yourself again and become more attractive. Wanna go out for dinner later?"
Making excuses and crying to reddit seems a lot easier.

cooltrip 9y ago
This is why I defend polygyny over monogamy. Sex is something men receive from women (no bidirectional exchange), which implies men enjoy and like sex more than women. In a monogamous marriage this is a problem, because the man will want sex more times than the woman will want to give him sex; this is detrimental for the marriage. In a polygynous marriage this problem doesn't exist: if one wife doesn't want sex, there are other wives.
YouDislikeMyOpinion 9y ago
I have the exact same thoughts. It's very interesting that in the muslim faith, a man can have up to 4 wives. Anywhere from 2-4 is not too little, and not too much. It's not a coincidence. Some time ago, men were sitting down, and decided upon that.
Polygyny is a very interesting subject.
Cyralea 9y ago
What I find infuriating is the modern idea that obligation is a four-letter word when it pertains to women. The idea that a woman should have any obligations, ever, is seen as the greatest human injustice.
Someone needs to tell those broads that the entire idea of marriage was the unifying of two people under a set of joint obligations. Historically a man was obligated to provide his provision -- money, home and food on the table -- and to set aside chasing women in exchange for access to his wife's body and nurture/housekeeping. Modern women have decided that they want nothing to do with that system...except the part about male obligation.
This is why marriage rates are going down. Men aren't stupid, they're waking up to the reality that there is literally no benefit in it for them. It literally is a grab-bag of goodies if you're a woman, but outside of parental rights there is nothing about marriage that betters a man's life today.

Dude, call it informal polling or data mining or whatever, but I have had a conversation about marriage duties and obligations with nearly every gf and plate I have ever had. I just want to know what is going through these chicks heads. Every single one did not see any problem with a wife making her husband incel if her drive changed.
None of them understood that as a partner in a marital partnership that they would be responsible for actually contributing. Seriously, zero women asked answered in a satisfactory manner. I would have expected at least one outlier given a decent sample size, but no such lady could be located. Either they don't exist, there are so few that they may as well not exist, or that wisdom comes so late in life that its really too late for men to make use of it because she is in her 40s.
There is no reason to get married excepting maybe to have kids. Though I am not even sure about that anymore.
Cyralea 9y ago
When people speak of the breakdown of marriage institutions, this is what they mean. Society isn't something that organically develops, you need to shape and control behaviour (male and female) to get a desired result.
The marriage institution worked great for thousands of years at reigning in female hypergamy. We're now seeing the ramifications of opening that up.
gekkozorz 9y ago
This is a failure of the matriarchy. Women are supposed to raise their daughters with the mindset that a good partnership is one where she has something positive to contribute to the relationship, and she gets positive things from the man in return. Instead they're raising a generation of princesses who are learning that men should be freely giving them things because they have a vagina.

Just curious, did you happen to ask if it would be ok with them (if they made their husband incel) if he got sex outside the marriage? (It's not a new idea - it (is?) was practiced amoung the upper class and wealthy for quite some time.)
Cyralea 9y ago
At that point, why get married? If you're going to get sex from multiple sources then it makes most sense to just spin a bunch of plates.
DanG3 9y ago
I was asking Summertime_Dimes if he "poled" that question in the process of his questions to women. But I agree, if women feel no obligation for sex unless THEY feel like it, in today's world there is no sense in being married.
The beauty of this is, women screwed themselves by trying to make "marriage" a better deal for themselves. Now (more and more) Men don't want to have anything to do with marriage OR women. Now SOME women are seeing how they were screwed by their feminist "sisters" and they don't want to be a part of the deal. We can only hope!

It would actually be very interesting if a legitimate non-biased sociologist did some sort of a study on gender behavior in /r/relationships and other subs
bluedrygrass 9y ago
Such kind of studies are impossible to do or at least to diffuse. the poor sociologist trying to demonstrate ANYTHING remotely non-positive about females would be eaten alive, by medias, feminazis, common peoples, everybody.
Meanwhile a bitter cunt can awake one morning in one of her period days, decide that all men must be thinking to sex once every 7 seconds, and it becomes instant TRUTH and FACT, showed down your throat by compliacent manipulative medias. (It really happened, a female pshychologist or something like that realized her career was going down the shitter and for this or any other reason decided to announce the world that after a research she discovered that men thinks about sex once every 7 seconds. Those luxurious pigs, etc.. Instant success and words written in stone. )

Great post. Thanks.
The only thing left for this man to save at least a ÎĽ of dignity for himself is to eject.
If I would ever be drugged enough to agree to a marriage and my wife told me that she is to busy cleaning the house to fuck with me, this would be the moment to remind her that I could get an (admittedly ugly) south european prostitute who would come and clean my flat while being naked and let me fuck her afterwards for as low as €50,-.
I've been offered exactly this two times in the past.
€50,- isn't even enough to cover the cost for food for a week for one person, if you refrain from junk, so maybe it's time for her "to check her privileges"...

Talking things out isn't what is needed, certainly not a "clothes on talk". That never works. Is that seduction? What is needed is seduction, game, asserting your drive for sex.
I can't think of any situations where one should "talk things out" with a woman. If she breaks up with you, you certainly don't, she'll just insult you. If you break up with her, it hurts the chance she'll still stay attracted to you. Here, it would be ineffective and kill whatever desire was left.

It's funny that Tom Leykis just used this language on this week's Leykis 101. Women who do this sort of thing are very much emotional terrorists and use fear of loss (or worse) to get their way. Women who use sex as a weapon or as a tool/reward included.

Nah, just either chuckle, or have this "serious conversation" and keep your responses light. She just wants you to get butthurt, to get some emotional traction. Keep it logical, stay tough.

Taking the whimsical approach with a plate/gf is better.
If they've known you for longer than a few weeks, I guarantee they've stashed away perfect insults that they know are going to infuriate you. They are fucking experts at emotional abuse. If emotional abuse was treated just like physical abuse in a court of law, there'd be more women in jail than men.
The business approach is logical. "Logic" is not in their vocabulary.
AWALT: conniving cunts.
Even if she melted down and you didn't, do you really think she'd notice? She'd tell you you broke down because <insert saved insult for this moment>. What do you do then? Tell her that she's insane and to get out? She'll construe that as you melting down, no matter how calm and collected you are. There's no winning.
tl;dr If they really want to hit a nerve, they will succeed. Take the whimsical approach and thus refuse to play that lose-lose game.

testmypatience 9y ago
I find women respond to confident men and their actions. They absolutely are repulsed by pushover behaviour. They know they are emotional and need a solid rock to depend on. I read a book at one time that said men are the port that the women boats are tied to. If the boats are tied to other boats intead of the port, the ocean of emotion will sink both ships. If the ocean emotion acts up when the boat is tied to the port it will get through the storm.
Why do drunk guys need sober friends to help keep their shit together? Because emotions are wild and nutty and being drunk makes everyone emotional crazy fucks who need a solid port to depend on.
I have seen a lot of field tested scenarios that absolutely prove without a shadow of doubt that women enjoy confident solid men. The women that bitch about those guys are the ones that never will have a good relationship. I'm not saying that women should be pushovers and be with mean assholes either but nobody should be a pushover, ever.
Jimmy_Big_Nuts 9y ago
Patrice O'neal (rip) said you don't go on their emotional trips with them when they are being goofy hysterical twats. Be a rock, be stoic. Save your emotions for your family and male friends. Also, I think it's important to call your woman a bitch or a cunt whenever she behaves like one. Don't go overboard, just be truthful. She will love you for it. She will never hesitate to call you a loser if you are acting like one!
testmypatience 9y ago
Pretty much. We call each other names like this for fun when we aren't mad though so it's sorta funny when it's a serious situation and the meaning changes just based on tone and context.
Uh... not so much. As long as she isn't throwing an emotional fit at you at the time, is perfectly acceptable to be emotional. Example: If your kid dies, if your family pet dies, if your house is burning down, etc.
Often when upset as a man, she will be fine. So let's say that you as the man have just had your dad die or what not, then it is perfectly ok to be upset and cry. If she is solid it is nice to be human at those times. Just be realistic and not a giant twat about things. Men are human too. I personally fucking hate crying or being upset because I hate how it makes me feel but that is all just because of how society conditions us to feel like we are not allowed to be human but always must be stoic. Being human is important as a man. Children need to know that their dad is strong but also able to love them and care about what is happening with their lives. Grandpas tend to show the most accurate format of what a man should be. Just not the ones that you can see throwing rocks at kids or telling kids to get off their lawn.
It sometimes takes men a lifetime to see the truth. Sadly not everyone finds the truth before they die. Life is a bastard.
Sadly she doesn't. I would greatly appreciate knowing when I am being a dumbass but because I am a man to her, she doesn't tell me. It's an odd scenario.

Excellent.
It goes to show how such women think of themselves. They are a depreciating asset and they enter into marriage like they enter into any other transaction. She doled out sex to secure the contract and, once secured, didn't have to worry about her obligation anymore. Transaction complete.
It's the same mindset that causes couples to put on weight and enter the "comfort" stage of a relationship. The hook is set, the catch is secured. From that point on sex is used as a tool of control to reel him in. That's why Dread Game works so well. Sex will be used in ample measure when a woman thinks her husband is reeling out a little too far. But a husband properly hooked and not trying to see whats out in the rest of the ocean isn't a concern for her.
It's a fascinating insight into the transactional nature many women use to approach marriage. These same women will consider a prostitute as pitiful and yet, these wives sell sex for money/security too. They just do it on a longer time frame.

Don't use their language. He's not "entitled." He's a husband who wants to fuck his wife.
[deleted] 9y ago
The language is correct, it's just been tainted with shame. Like when someone feels entitled. Like if you go to dinner with a girl and she makes a scene out of having you pay, that's feeling entitled. Like when an older teenager is told to start pulling his weight around the house or focus on studies but instead is on facebook with his macbook pro while complaining on his smart phone in his private room, that's feeling entitled, "being an entitled brat." It's used sarcastically.
But this man is entitled the same way an employee is entitled to a paycheck or severance pay. The same way Americans are entitled to freedom of speech. The word actually applies to him, that's his vagina, he's fucking entitled to it. He sacrificed the want to get any other pussy in the word for the rest of his life for that entitlement. He literally has the title of husband for it.
gekkozorz 9y ago
Maybe tapering off the sex life was what she had planned, but does she really think that that's what the husband was expecting when he bought the ring and said "I do?"
Imagine, if you will, a stereotypical Barney Stinson-style playboy who just wants to bang as many women as possible. So he starts talking to an innocent church girl who isn't interested in casual sex and wants a proper relationship. He can't charm her panties off, so he tries the manipulative approach. He leads her to believe that he, too, is seeking True Love and that maybe, just maybe, if he can get into her bed just this once, then that can be the beginning of them being life partners forever.
She likes the sound of that, and they bang. But she's surprised to find that after they orgasm, Barney is bolting. "Where are you going?" She asks. "Aren't... aren't you going to call me sometimes?" "Sure thing sweethart," he says, and he's gone, never to be seen again, leaving the poor girl feeling undignified and slutty.
Well, /r/relationships would have a pretty big problem with Barney in this instance, right? He lured her into sex with the promise of commitment. That makes him a major asshole.
This mindset that OP's wife has - that their marriage is eventually just going to diminish into a sexless partnership - is the genders reversed version of this scenario.
The husband never expected the sex to stop. He assumed that when they became life partners forever, they would also be sex partners forever.
This lady lured him into commitment with the promise of sex, the same way Barney lured the innocent girl into sex with the promise of commitment.
We_Are_Legion 9y ago
Excellently put.
Why is that modern women absolutely balk at the prospect of any responsibilities on their end in a marriage? I mean, sure, they offer their platitudes of "compromise" and "commitment" and all sorts of other feel-good bullshit, but there is no binding power for them to do it, nor any solid definition of what these things mean for her at all. The man's responsibilities are as concrete as ever, while the woman's part is veiled in vagueness and is completely open to her whims.
If the man doesn't get what he wants out of the marriage, he's neither aware he has a right to be indignant nor does he have any meaningful avenues to get out without hurting himself and in fact, benefiting her. All he has is to guiltily wallow in his unhappiness and self-pity and shovel effort into a problem as enigmatic to him as a woman's feelings.
bsutansalt 9y ago
♂ This is exactly what happens far too often. Tom Leykis has said it time and time again and I agree with it entirely, never get married or let them move in. In doing so you give them all the comfort and security they seek. It's those things that are the carrot that keeps them on their toes and ensuring they do their part to make their man happy. If they don't you take away the carrot and they know this, if not logically then at least on an instinctual level.

jmg83 9y ago
I think that the woman who tricks a man into marriage and then withholds sex is a much bigger asshole than "Barney". Barney's conquest hasn't invested anything long-term in the "relationship". Besides feeling like a fool because some guy hoodwinked her into putting out, what has she really lost? In the long-run, it doesn't matter. The guy who marries a woman who takes sex off the menu, on the other hand, has probably invested a shit-ton of money into committing to one woman, not to mention time. All the time he spends not shagging his wife could be time spent shagging a multitude of women were he still single, and all in all, it would no doubt cost less, too. This man probably feels his made a mistake, but he can't very well divorce her on the basis of "lack of sex life".
bsutansalt 9y ago
Actually you can. In many states this would even qualify for an at-fault divorce:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounds_for_divorce_(United_States)#Sexual_issues
Another one is mental illness. This is why men should NEVER get into LTRs with women who are depressed, bi-polar, etc. If the states say you can divorce because of it, what's that tell you about them being relationship material? Think about it:

Also, what is the deal with women acting like doing laundry is so fucking hard? You never hear single men complain about doing it. It's one of the easiest household tasks there is.
TogiBear 9y ago
Western culture raises women to be selfish. They're taught from birth that a great (10/10) man will find them and love them for who they are.
If she's with her Alpha fucks, she'll be glad to be the one to do his laundry. Doing his laundry gives her gina tingles, because she knows perfectly well other women would gladly take her place.
If she's with her Beta bucks, she can't stand to think about another person's wants or needs. Notice when a woman makes a post to /r/relationships how often she says something along the lines of, "when I do/don't do this, my SO feels..." I've never seen a relationship post made by a woman that includes how and what her beta bucks feels about the subject. It's always about her.
So it's not about the chore, it's about who she's doing it for.
super-nsfw 9y ago
This is true, laundry is a breeze.
Although, making it a breeze requires organization - when the dryer buzzer goes, you have to take it out immediately and fold it or hang it, otherwise you got wrinkles happening.
I like when I have arguments with my wife and she says things like: I'm a guy so I don't know about cooking, or doing laundry, or whatever. Wifey, I've been doing all of this for far longer than you, and I'm also very good at it, because I put some thought into it to figure it out at the start, rather than do it in the background like a braindead drone as you watch whatever those shows are on your iPhone.

I see people hating on him for making a spreadsheet. I think thats brilliant. we note down everything important in life when it comes to other things.. our appointments, our things to do, things to remember.. so why not our sex life?! without the spreadsheet I only imagine the convo to be..
man - I initiated sex several times last month and you rejected almost all of them woman - no you didnt!! tell me why, tell me when !! man -that time when you were this n this n that n that..
by having a record of what has transpired, he has put her on the spot. but her ego is bruised because she cant wrap her head around her faults and so she is focusing on the manner it is communicated rather than the communication itself
YouDislikeMyOpinion 9y ago
This is probably exactly what he made that spreadsheet for. Some twisted version of this, with a sick back and forth relationship between them.
It's useless bullshit at the end of the day. If you're an employer and you're employee sucks ass, the solution is to remove that employee and not give them a list of things they did wrong.
The thing that is sick, is that she knows what she's doing.
You know that trait that humans have where they justify everything they are doing by going through a list of excuses. They repress any understanding that they are actually wrong, because it would set off a chain reaction leading to the conclusion that a lot of their thoughts and understanding is wrong? I have a lot of personal experience a specific woman repressing things to such a degree that the thought that she could be wrong only in her subconscious. She was literally innocent in her eyes and in mine. I knew what she was doing. And on some primal brain level, she knew as well. But as far as cognitive thinking goes, it wasn't up there. This is exactly the coping mechanism that women use to justify all of their interest in alpha men.
Example: Girl says that she likes a guy a lot, he has a great personality, and looks good. I already guess that his finances are in order, and he's got lots of options. Sooner or later I find out the guy has a house fully paid off, nice car, etc. That stuff attracts them, but they repress it and focus on all of the other things.
This is a great strategy for men. Fighting ethical feminist fire with fire. I don't have to say that I like fucking girls, I can say "I don't know what I want right now, but I'm not ready for a relationship" (You're only good enough for me to fuck you) "I really like her personality, and she is really nice to me, and makes me smile" (I can't wait to fuck her DDs and cum on her face, she's just a regular girl).
It's just that I do this consciously, and women do this subconsciously.

I had read that thread and was pretty dusgusted with the advice given. The one thing that was not pointed out in any of the replies nor in the original message was that the husband was obviously not having much sex in the months prior to him keep tracking of it. It's not like he was having a lot of sex with his wife and then up and went "Hey, I think there's going to be a cold streak coming up in the next two months. I better start keeping count." No, that's not what happened. This guy was being denied sex for many months prior to him keeping track of it. Commenters seem to think that he only had sex 3 times in two months when he probably only had sex with his wife 10 times in the past half year.
People have this weird idea about sex and marriage. As if you don't owe your spouse sex when you are married. But that is exactly the one thing you do owe them. If your spouse wants to go see a movie and you don't want to, they can call a friend to go see it. Same with going to a restaurant or all other activities. But if you want to have sex with your spouse and they don't want to, you can't just call someone else up to do that.

Summertime_Dimes 9y ago
upvoted, but I disagree on a prositute. If he gets picked up by law enforcement, that will result in a very bad outcome at divorce time. I suggest going to a bar, club, whatev, and banging out some strange the old fashioned way.
If this dude has been out of the game for five years then his options might currently be limited, but thats cool. Bring home a 4... just do it without paying her for it. That is a confidence building block - a small one - but a very real one.
Even in my BP days I was getting laid on the regular, not necessarily quality, but steady ass. After RP, every chick I got with that was a little bit hotter, a little bit younger was a level up. Now, I treat all women the same as I treat all men. I was able to accept that this worked because I had done it so many times - treat a 5 like a 4, treat a 7 like a 4, treat a 9 like a 4. AWALT is something this cat needs in his life.
When you pay for ass (with actual cash instead of time or beers or whatev) you get a release. What you don't get is that sense of "I slayed this chick. Using my looks and charm alone I took down this stranger and fucked her silly." Even if its a 4, that is a bigger self esteem boost than paying for an 8 - because you HAD to pay for it. If this guy was banging strange all over town and wanted to splurge on a night with a dime piece escort, go for it. But he isnt, and he shouldnt until he can get laid on his own terms.
You are dead on about putting himself first. She clearly was/is. So much so that she put that business all over the internet because she needed affirmation that she was right and he WAS being unreasonable and a child. Now she is sufficiently bolstered to continue her life of never being wrong, and never fucking her husband.

-a prostitute.
Summertime_Dimes 9y ago
hahaha. fair enough. humans were fucking before currency, but there was still probably some sort of exchange... berries, or sea-shells or something. No such thing as a free bang.
Glad you agree. My practice is securities plaintiffs' work, so I don't touch family law (thankfully). Appreciate you weighing in.

Speaking of divorce, his documentation here (and her reddit thread about it, not disputing its accuracy) will be helpful to his side in court. He tried, he really did, she cut him off, and here's the documentation.
And knowing this, she feels her power in court slipping away. A bit of insurance usually provided to women, gone. And THAT may be why she is panicking. She didn't actually expect to have to be passionate, she was expecting more of an insurance scenario. Damn him for taking that away so cleverly!
I think his spreadsheet is FULL of win for him. 10/10.
Overkillengine 9y ago
Bingo. Something that makes him look patient and reasonable in comparison to her in court is good if the end goal is divorce.
Jimmy_Big_Nuts 9y ago
Solid advice
robesta 9y ago
Irrelevant in most states due to no fault divorce.
Summertime_Dimes 9y ago
Disagree. Equitable division of the assets is decided on by the finder-of-fact even in no-fault divorces. Put a woman or a white knight on the bench or in the jury box and suddenly his proclivity to frequent prositutes earns her more than half.
Fucking hookers might not be cited as the cause for divorce, but if you think it would not impact the division of assets you are fooling yourself, brother.
robesta 9y ago
No matter what happens you're not going to look like the victim. The same women/white knight could do the same thing with assets even if she's the one cheating.
Summertime_Dimes 9y ago
Ok. But that is a different argument than the first one you made.
First, you stated it would not matter because of no fault divorces. Now you are saying that it would not matter because the system is screwed up.
I don't disagree with your most recent statement by the way, but we can't reach a consensus on the first issue if the topic we are discussing is a moving target.
Also, I never said anything about looking like a victim. I believe that it will go badly for him with or without the soliciting charge. I only stated that it will likely go worse if he gets picked up for soliciting hookers.
robesta 9y ago
In theory it shouldn't matter with no fault divorce. You're saying it should because of bias. I'm saying bias is bias no matter the circumstance.
Summertime_Dimes 9y ago
We are talking past each other it seems. I am saying that divorce courts tend to be negatively biased against men. I believe we agree.
I am also saying that a Court or jury can increase or decrease the impact of their negative bias when facts such as abuse, cheating, solicitation of prostitutes come to light. If a husband gets caught fucking a prostitute, a court or a jury WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY come down harder on him during the division of assets.
A no fault divorce means that you can be legally split without someone being at fault. But there is still a division of assets, unless one is agreed to. A solicitation charge can and will be used as leverage by her lawyer to exact more money out of him. If no settlement is reached, a solicitation charge will be entered as testimony which will cause an already biased system to be MORE biased. It will increase to 11 basically.
robesta 9y ago
I buy what you're saying. I just don't want to give him any excuse to not fuck whores. ;)
Summertime_Dimes 9y ago
totally dude. The guy should go on a bang parade and get in everywhere that he fits in. Glad we found common ground, brother. Have a great week.

iluminatiNYC 9y ago
After I dove into that thread, it's clear that homegirl had some issues of her own that she was too afraid to bring up. Apparently, it had been regular (from her own words) until a few months ago when she started "feeling fat".
Like I told a female friend a few days ago, if a guy is hard around, and isn't otherwise angry, upset or otherwise preoccupied, he obviously finds you hot enough to fuck. She projected her issues onto him, then got mad when they were thrown back in her face. The OP's husband needs to GTFO and move on. I get the feeling that she was doing this all along, and it was only now that he manned up.
Now is time to fold your cards and move on with life.

I think this whole saga, the spread sheet, the r/relationship shitty advice, and this breakdown is a really great case study and teaching tool.
morphite65 9y ago
Seriously as soon as it showed up on my page I went looking for the Red Pill response and breakdown :)
Jimmy_Big_Nuts 9y ago
I saw the RP version first, and later checked out the r/relationship version and was DISGUSTED by the shitty bluepill, female centric, sex and the city, feminist tumblerina, white knight, m'lady, fedora tipping faggotry going on there. That poor blue pill son of a bitch hasn't had kids yet so can divorce, learn and regroup.
The only other acceptable option would be forcing his wife to agree to new terms whereby he can have a girlfriend or affairs or side pussy, but he could never pull that off because their relationship is already over , she's not attracted, and I can't see why he should struggle to change her when he could just learn from his mistake and start again with a younger prettier model who knows from day 1 sex is the glue that makes him stay.
mister_selfdestruct 9y ago
Personally I have been rejected 364 times out of 365 days by ex...
EX!
sway_usa 9y ago
For me, after the first few hookups, any sexual rejection is a next. As long as she isn't in the hospital or just had a pet/family member die, there are no exceptions.

jmg83 9y ago
Let a man turn down his wife when she offers sex, and count the seconds before she asks if he's fucking someone else. Granted, this man could have been more tactful, but still. If they aren't getting much now at their age, then what the hell will it be like when they have kids?
DPestWork 9y ago
i can confirm, I was a regularly accused husband. Sorry if I dont want to have sex when I get home from work and smell/feel gross. Or after I had been up for 36hours, surprise I'm not in the mood to be the stud and do all of the work again.
jmg83 9y ago
Exactly. There are times when there's just no point half-assing sex. You'll feel like crap, and the woman will blame you for shoddy performance which you didn't want to give anyway. We're not goddamn dildos with legs.
RPthrowaway123 9y ago
Absolutely correct. She describes him as bitter and immature after he provides a home and income and only asks for sex in return.
KyfhoMyoba 9y ago
Don't know about the income. She's travelling for work, which means she is probably making some good coin. If she is earning more than 60% of the household income, that removes him from even being a beta provisioner, and if his alpha is low, as it seems to be from lack of tingles, what's left for him? He's not a beta provisioner, he's not alpha - he's invisible. Reruns of bad TV are more exciting than he is.
dancingwithcats 9y ago
I would feel sorry for him except I don't, because it is self inflicted. I would say I'm fortunate to have a great sex life with my wife after 17 years of marriage but I'm not fortunate. It's how it should be, not a gift or some stroke of luck. Sure, we don't fuck 3 or 4 times a day anymore but most days we do at least once. Hey, I'm getting old. Sometimes my back hurts or I have a headache.

The top comment on there now is actually pretty good and realistic:
SupaPineapple 9y ago
Two things I'm asking. I'm 19 M, so I won't be married anytime soon but...
What's the PROPER response to a wife denying you sex to this extent? (Besides not getting married in the first place) I understand you're supposed to use non-verbal communication, but give me some examples.
KyfhoMyoba 9y ago
The proper response to a wife denying sex is Dread Game. This means that you start improving yourself immediately in any and all ways you can. And you also use these improvements to DEMONSTRATE (NOT explain verbally) that you are attractive to other women, preferably younger, lighter, hotter tighter women.
Prattler26 9y ago
What's the proper response to a wife saying "You are not attractive to me"? Either make yourself more attractive (RP will make you more attractive) or walk away (extremely painful if you have kids). That's why marriage is so dangerous, you can't walk away without seriously hurting the kids. You're also hurting your kids if you stay in such relationship..
weag5l 9y ago
IMO for women, sex is always a means, not an end. There is zero libido. Any man who thinks otherwise is just being played.
duckducklandwhale 9y ago
In response to 2, since Im not married and dont plan to anytime soon.. Women do not have as strong of sex drives as men. Although, when theyre finally having sex the intensity of it is greater.
jinkop 9y ago
2 They are NOT. That is a feminist lie. Their libido steadily declines after the age of 24, while men's stays the same or increases into the 30s.
squirrellywhirly 9y ago
Where are you getting the figure "after the age of 24" from? Women's libidos do tend to decline with age, but that's typically associated with the hormonal changes brought on by menopause, which can be managed. Most women don't go into those changes at the age of 24, so that's why I'm confused at this statement.
seethelight476 9y ago
You shouldn't let it get this bad. Nip it in the bud: Keeping your sexual market value above hers (career, fitness, social circle, internal frame). Keep it playful, flirty, take her on dates, dominate her. Keep your game up (the game never ends). Sometimes she won't be in the mood but you should be getting sex 90% of the time. Try to find a girl who is open and honest in communicating with you. Avoid dating dramatic girls.
Did I answer your questions adequately?
SupaPineapple 9y ago
I think so. But as for 2, I feel like im missing something. I feel like, at this point I HAVE to have orgasm at least every other day, but in the dead-bedroom case, it seems women don't have to have sex at all. I understand that some people have lower libido than others, but in most dead bed cases, it just seems the man wants to have sex while the woman is either against it or apathetic towards it. How is this possible if women have similar libido?
seethelight476 9y ago
Self-image or psychological problems. People in happy healthy relationships want to be having regular sex.
Yes some people have different libido levels. Try to find a girl that matches yours ;)
mbr902000 9y ago
Number 2. Women CAN be just as sexual as men but their attraction to a man starts on an emotional level. The guy in this post isn't getting any pussy because he isn't stimulating his wife's brain and he is acting like a beta chump. She probably wants some dick, and she will spread her legs in a split second as soon as she runs into a decent looking guy that either gives her attention, makes her laugh, or asserts a dominating role. As for question number 1, have you seen the movie Rounders? "If you can't spot the sucker sitting at the table, you are the sucker". She is denying him sex because he doesn't make her panties wet, not because she is tired from cleaning. When I stick my hand down a girls pants, their pussy is already soaked because of the way I talk to them and act around them. This hamster has a case of Sahara Snatch
DanG3 9y ago
You are getting some good advice below. I'm going to chime in here and say that my experience has been that woman can be MORE sexual than men. (Shit, I wished someone would have told me that when I was 19.) I've been with women who just wouldn't quit wanting sex - sex now, sex later, sex in the car, sex in the house. (Sounds like "Marvin K Mooney").
I've been with my wife for 21 years, had 3 kids. She's 14 years younger than I. I have NO idea what the 'declining male libito' talk is about! I've been with her when SHE couldn't get enough ... AND ALSO when I was ready to start a spreadsheet, too! But, the answer/solution is NOT the spreadsheet. The ANSWER is THE RED PILL! Keep reading and digesting this sub and other similar sites in the Manosphere. Keep asking questions. That's what I did three years ago when my marriage was very similar to those you see over in Dead Bed - and very similar to Speadsheet Man's. Right now, our marital bed has NEVER been hotter, and all indications are that it will continue to get still hotter.
Here's my .02: Women have "Responsive Desire." What they are responding to, however, is like a moving target. There are a couple of things that are consistent. 1) ALL women, young and old, respond positively to "Hotness." (Pick a hot male actor/movie protagonist. "Capt. Jack Sparrow"/J. Depp works well.) Be him. Be as hot as you can be, and don't be shy about it.
2) Women are hard-wired to use sex and sexuality to attain and keep what they need. If you want sex be stingy with what they want/need. A very hot stripper friend of mine (who I had a thing for) once told me (about giving her tips) while doing a lap dance "Make me work for it." Most women want to please the man they are into. But it is the PROCESS of attracting and pleasing the Man that is exciting and pleasing to THEM. When a man puts a woman on a pedistal and/or GIVES her things to please them, it is annoying and frustrating for her because it deprives her of the opportunity (as "Barbie" put it) to "work for it." It's a "turn off" because she never has to "turn on" her sexuality. Try to determine what it is that the woman you desire wants or needs and only/always/mostly tease her with getting it. She'll keep giving you sex as long as she DOESNT have it.
SupaPineapple 9y ago
So basically, he's unattractive? Not necessarily in a physical sense, but it may as well be. His passive-beta behavior simply turns her off? I suppose that makes sense.
DanG3 9y ago
It could very well be something as "simple" as they both like to eat lots of pizza. They both have fun eating pizza. Eventually they both get fat. BUT, she still wants the house and picket fence, so she "loves" him for being around to help PROVIDE that. However, he's fat and sexually unattractive and so is she. Her Disney brain tells her that they are married and in love, but her primal brain is saying he's unfit to breed with = He needs to get off, but "she" (her primal brain) doesn't see him as "attractive" to breed with. Plus, she's unfit and feels gross. LTR RP Solution: He becomes the leader in the relationship and stops eating shit, hits the gym and gets hot. It's very likely that her primal brain is going to see that he's hot, desirable to other females, and that she could loose him. Primal brain will tell her, "You better give him sex AND you better loose your fat ass to compete with the other females."
c4rlos 9y ago
wow mindblown you are right. This is happening to me right now.
DanG3 9y ago
On the subject of eating/being fed: Women are also socially programmed to believe (for example), "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach." And, in their primal brain women are programmed to keep their man away from other women. Feeding him until he is unattractive is one way to (unconsciously) do this. Buying him 'married man' looking clothes is another. Assuring him, "Love will keep us together" pretty much makes him think he can sit on the couch and play video games - until they need to reenforce it with rebar! BUT, in the process she is also making him unattractive to herself as well. The process assures her that she will not have to compete with other women for him. It then frequently follows that she will let herself go. We then have two fatties in the sack. One is horny, the other is feeling "gross" and simply "feels" no need to keep what she already has secured, no one else would want, and is just not "attracted" to.
Of course HE is the one who is unattractive and from what I have been reading all day, HE should have known better. BUT what has been bothering me all day is, HOW should he have known better? I mean, TRP sucks and is bullshit, right? How about those wedding vows - "To have and to hold ... ?" Should he have been told at the Men's Club that has been invaded by women? Maybe by his dad? Well, Dad wasn't around because the feminists told her in sooo many ways that she didn't need to have a man in the house. I guess Dad should have known better?
ryeprotagonist 9y ago
this didn't JUST start 2 months ago. it has been a long term issue. how do we know this? the guy didn't just wake up one day and decide to keep a spreadsheet... this was weighing on him for a long fucking time.
seethelight476 9y ago
I'd say over the last 2 years of marriage there's been a steady decline, maybe it got really bad in the past few months.
TheSerpent 9y ago
That's a lot of thought and my attention span lost you somewhere within the first third but overall seemed agreeable... my only question is "why?"
why put forth so much internet care?
MattBoBat 9y ago
You are right, he was being totally passive aggressive in the way he dealt with this situation and look where it got him. He only amplified his own pain and suffering by handling it this way and dug himself a deeper hole to get out of (That is, if he even wants to salvage the relationship).
Passive aggressiveness is the way a beta handles his shortcomings, and I appreciate you elaborating on that. Haven't really thought of it like that before.
tmpjb 9y ago
Attraction is everything when it comes to relationships. We've all seen the shit people go through just to stay to people they are attracted to. And we've also seen how shitty people treat the partners they are not attracted to.
No one has actually gave the man advice on either subreddit. The wife is obviously a crazy, dumb bitch and there is no reasoning with her because she fails to see the obvious. I say the guy immediately tries to get some on the side (discreetly) and looks into protecting himself in the inevitable divorce. Thank god he didn't have kids with her. Once attraction is gone it is VERY hard to get back and it's the reason I will never marry.
mexicaaaan 9y ago
Yes, you can just up and walk out of your marriage... or you can bother to talk to your spouse about it. What a doormat!
[deleted] 9y ago
So basically what women are saying is that marriage is a contractual obligation for MEN and SOLELY men...men must be providers...but in exchange for what? A mediocre whiny maid? If sex is no longer an obligation of a wife, then why is a man obligated to work...
DurdensWrath 9y ago
It is a trap. It has ever since someone started making things where men weren't given things to take the woman off her father's hands.
UltraMittens 9y ago
Amazing post, should be stickied.
mctoasterson 9y ago
Some good points here.
It is the fault of both individuals in this relationship that things got this way. People of both genders often get married and then use that as an excuse to stop trying - whether its eating too much, deciding to never put out, or lapsing into complacency and "beta" behaviors. All of these things are going to essentially kill the attraction and sex life.
Married men need to take care not to fall into this trap of sex becoming a reward mechanism the the wife doles out sparingly. Once that dynamic is established it is very difficult to break out of, and she will abuse it for all it is worth. It becomes like a twisted parent-child-like dynamic in which she will incentivize and reward certain behaviors. If it gets to that point, it is beyond fucked up and very difficult to fix.
As OP says above, the usual remedies such as simply "next"ing the relationship aren't available, because it's a marriage with its own legal hurdles and entanglements.
seethelight476 9y ago
His sexual market value isn't matching up. He better get his shit together and start working on himself.
She's disgusted by him.
99639 9y ago
I think I can count on one hand the number of LTR's/marriages that DON'T end up with dead bedroom. I think sex loses novelty for women and they are just not interested enough to keep up the act indefinitely. I think the safest way to avoid this situation is simply to avoid marriage/LTR.
seethelight476 9y ago
Yeah MGTOW is an option, but I kinda wanted to have kids someday. And just having women as fucktoys gets boring for me.
But being the idealists that we are, we hope that our marriage will be different and we need to keep it afloat.
This guy is deep in marriage and cares about her so he needs to take the tools he can to fix the situation.
You have control in this situation. You can make the sex novel. Create roleplays, use new dirty language, new positions, new locations.
Most guys don't want to put in the work. They're happy in their little beta bubble til it pops.
99639 9y ago
I think that still only can go so far. I think the number of couples who can actually remain interested in one another is pretty low, and I think divorce rates support that.
seethelight476 9y ago
If all guys knew how to handle their shit and learnt some game the divorce rate would be a lot lower.
But yeah, image smashing the same pussy every night for 30 years :(
