Hello, I’ve been on the channel for a bit. I’ve understood some other trp stuff and I just want to see your guys’ input.
I’ve recently broken up with my first gf and we have been living together in SF. Our lease is about to end and we are moving to LA. She’s going to medical school and I have a better job that pays more in LA. At first we were going to live together but she’s has a lot of issues on me being beta (not being fit, no being able to deal with tough situations, and not being “man” enough). We agreed to live separately and honest I’m not as sad when we broke up. She does still want to keep me around and maybe a possibility to to live together next years because she wants to be on her own for the first year. She says she doesn’t want to look for guys and only wants to fuck me for now
My question is how should I proceed this situation with keeping her, converting her into a plate, move on). I know I have a lot to work on myself to become more of a man.
Her and I went through a lot together and I do want to get back to her but I need to know what do u guys think.
What I want to do is plate my ex and if she wants to get back together she needs to initiate it. For me for now is improve my SMV and gain more experiences with women. If she wants to live together again I’ll probably make her wait after medical school because I believe I am just a placeholder for now.

err...... don't live with her if she's your ex. terrible plan. fuck her by all means...... but the "we live together and fuck and you're free but I like your financial support" will breed resentment and she won't stick to it and 6 months down the road she'll be fucking up your life and fucking someone else.
stay friends.... fuck...... don't live together.

So you're living with her even though you're no longer in a relationship?
That's a terrible setup and will negatively affect your life. This is like TRP 101. You claim to have been lurking on this sub, but it's clear you've never even read the sidebar. So do that first.
Move out or make her move out. Get in shape. Bang other women (which is damn near impossible to do while you're living with an ex).
Everything else will work itself out. It's really that simple.

Iron Rule of Tomassi #4 NEVER under any circumstance live with a woman you aren’t married to or are not planning to marry in within 6 months.
Medicine is notorious for slutty women. Red flag.
Good that you're aware of this. Continue to boost SMV.
She wants to spend her first year going around fucking hawt guys. You will be waiting on the sidelines giving her free attention and getting zero pussy.
Fuck her. She dumped you to go and get fucked by other guys. Have some respect and never look back. Boost your SMV and go spin plates.

How long have you been together? You say she has issues with you being beta. Understand it is her having issues about the man you are now and not the one you can potentially become. Women won't likely invest in guys that need work done, she'd rather look for the guy that's already got it figured out. Some do and will fall into the "I can fix this man" thing, but that is usually for bad boys(thugs,jail guys,gangsters,criminals,even serial killers and your average Chad), not for guys that are not going to the gym.
Your issues, whether pointed by her or realized by you, have a solution.And that is where TRP and the sidebar come in,
Not being fit--------Work out,lose weight,gain muscle Not being able to deal with stressful stuff----------This is very situational, a fireman can handle pressure better than a programmer. Take MMA classes, train your reflexes and bond with the guys. Not being "man enough"---------Too abstract and possibly her trying to manipulate you into investing too much into your relationship, forget about that shit.
Living separately is a good thing, you can use the distance and freedom for whatever the fuck you want to do.You didn't feel sad for the breakup? Me either when I divorced and I still feel like a million bucks,
She still wants to keep you around for sex? She is handing you the opportunity to use her as a plate and for access to sex, use it for a long as you can. This is your time to focus on yourself, work on the gym and learn to handle high pressure situations ( I suggest reading Stoicism too).Usually the confidence from having a nice body, lifting heavy weights,doing complex workouts can splash on to being able to be the EMOTIONAL LEAD on the relationship.
If you want to plate her, as you say, she is giving that to you. Don't get your hopes up about a future with her, just use the access to sex and rapport to enjoy some fine sex. If she gets too intense just let her know you're gonna be working on yourrself FOR YOURSELF and leave the bitch, spin some plates and enjoy heing by yourself. Freedom is great.

lol I am a programmer. This is a good comment and I will this into consideration. Not being man enough for her means not being able to deal with her moods. Honestly I was too much of a nice guy that gave her everything and now it’s biting me in the ass. At the end I’m not regretting it but now I have a mission to figure out my flaws and get ready for the next one

Ex-girlfriends are like fast food. We know we shouldn't and it is not healthy, but we do it from time to time anyway.

Dude, If this wasn't a ready made lesson to you as to why you should not cohabit with or commit to a woman that you are not absolutely sure is going to stick around for the long haul....
I don't know what to tell you then.
And I got a freezer in Alaska to sell you.
As a general rule, wise men treat woman initiated breakups as a forever breakup. She's more than likely just keeping you around as a backup option in case slutting it up in LA doesn't work out and Dr Chad, MD (Massive Dong) doesn't want to upgrade her from booty call. Being mad or insecure about that is a waste of your time though, sloots gon sloot and nothing on your end will ever change their nature.
That being said, at least you are being handed a situation where you can eventually eject/ghost with minimal issues so long as you aren't dumb enough to let her reside with you again. Play it cool, get back to a solo residence again, work on yourself, and give her the exact level of consideration she gave you by bailing for better once you can get it. And going no-contact with her counts as better. If she wasn't willing to help you become a better man, then she does not deserve you once you are a better man.

She has converted you to a plate. And she is still managing to get some beta benefits. You will help her move and be there when she calls you. You will get some sex occasionally but you are not her boyfriend. You are the back up guy before the main guy has even been chosen.
Its going to be hard to get yourself out of this one till she drops you when she chooses to settle with a steady guy.
As you say, just concentrate on yourself. Don't be always available but equally if you don't supply benefit, she will not supply pussy and right now you are supplying beta benefits. Until you can supply chad benefits, its all you have to give.
Provided you don't simp out this will be an OK side hussle but if you start simping out, you will struggle to improve yourself or find other women. Its all about what is in your head. If you are clear about your frame, you can get something form this but if you become her plate in her frame, its a bad position.
