I realized that I can't change shit in my wife, but I can change myself.

That was the day you first unplugged. Welcome.

I see you're growing and I'm scared you're growing away from me.

Precisely!

Determining between shit tests and comfort tests is a like learning a new language, and after a life of being a nice guy, learning to say no and set boundaries makes me feel like an asshole.

That is the deep conditioning of the blue pill world. Ignore it.

An example of this is the rule I have set that if my wife starts shit with me over one of our calls, I give her two chances to calm down and then I begin at least 24 hours of radio silence.

This is not heavy handed whatsoever. DO NOT put up with bad behavior or it will increase. Let your kid get away with X and tomorrow he will take 2X. Let a wife get away with X and tomorrow she will take X2

So you believe that people are fundamentally bad and we have to teach them to be good? I don´t.

You have identified the crux of the dispute.

Most Liberals believe in the fundamental perfectibility of the human condition. We don't need a god or "God" and utopia is just government policy away.

Example: "We are the ones we have been waiting for."

Conservatives believe that man is fundamentally flawed and his institutions cannot be perfected or sanctified until God returns and sets up his Kingdom. No government policy is going to usher in perfection.

Example: "Government is best that governs least."

My boss when I was sailing had this situation with his wife, call him joe. Some guys on another ship sailed with her, and because they loved joe, so they basically bitch slapped her everytime she tried to CC in the foreign ports. I'm positive she just hid it better, there's a set amount of places you will find coworkers, just avoid Dukes in Hawaii or Cowgirls in seattle, and no one will know.

They had a great life, and financial security. They are divorced now, because she wasn't haaaapy.

Now she's dating another guy, we call him french joe, they look and act almost identical.

Best bet, since I'm sure you have good comradare with the boys (except the one who will mow your lawn) Have a talk with the ones you trust. If something happens, just tell me, don't sugar coat it, tell me right away. If they have any desire to keep you from being a story that you guys tells about the cucked master corporal, they will do it.

As for the wife. Being how she's a harybag, I'd go with direct talk on this one. I mean, really, what does she have to do to stay in your life?

  • Stay off pole while you're gone
  • Don't spend all the money
  • Don't turn into a dependapotamus

Pretty fucking simple. The duties of a deployed wife/husband are so small, you'd expect it to have a better success rate. She's freaking out for the same reason the new recruits are before the first day of basic. They don't know what to expect. Have you taught drill? Do you remember the process? Same thing here. Explain the movement, show the movement, then have them do the movement. Assess, correct, and repeat until perfect.

You're nuking shit tests, great. Is she getting to a place where she reckognizes that her method doesn't work? If so, are you showing her the correct 'drill movement'

Also, that mentality you have at work with your subordinates? Bring a little of it home. I've had to escort guys to cells, where they were immediately strip searched and yelled at for weeks. They always would cry in their cell on day one. I didn't feel bad about driving them down. Hell, the ones I liked I would even stop at the gas station, buy em a red bull and some smokes before we went, would tell the guys I got lost. There was a process, they did shit, they got their due process, and the consequences are there. Take em like a man, and we'll be there for you when you get out.

Do what you have to do, and stop feeling bad about it. No one wants to marry a faggot.


Oh, as for your wish for her to be a SAHM? I've seen those types, the ones who leave as soon as they are married. They marry the chiefs, not their peers. I've seen 3 types of women who join the service:

  • Dad was in the forces
  • I am leaving my husband/boyfriend
  • I have to take care of my child, alone

If you got any one of those categories, and you're dating within your rank, then don't expect her to leave any time soon. 2 will fuck anything that moves, usually gets fat and settles down, but civies don't date women in the service. 3 tends to be a lifer, as does 1. 1 has the benefit of it being her life, so she doesn't have an alternative to wish for, so she isn't as enamored by the alpha cock and 'navy hot' phenominon

  1. Be happy. This is all internal and all mentality.
  2. Expect better. Stop putting up with bullshit or figure out a way to bypass it.
  3. Learn to be passionate. More mentality stuff, but learn how to get engaged in the choices you make.

Good luck. Thanks for serving so my ass doesn't have to.

I've heard of "shit tests" but comfort tests? What are those?

[–]MRPguy 3ポイント4ポイント  (25子コメント)

You guys MUST get on the sidebar books and READ. This is beginner level stuff that is assumed you have an understanding of. Shit tests/comfort tests are MRP 101.

I just discovered comfort tests myself, because I had been failing them. Anybody feel free to correct me because I am new at this. A comfort test is when your woman tests you to see if you still give a shit about her at all. I know that I failed a comfort test when I think I passed a shit test but then realize that in reality, I just acted like an asshole. It's pretty subtle and when I realized I was failing them, it was a welcome confirmation of how firm I had been in passing shit tests - too firm. It's the balance between Alpha/Beta that is critical to maintaining an LTR or MRP if that's what you've chosen to do. The tricky part is making sure I don't bend right over and cave in like a total AFC afterward. I lean toward saying "I shouldn't..." rather than "I am sorry" which I avoid at almost all costs. Open to further comments?

You are an OAK TREE. You are not moved, your frame had deep roots (shit tests). The storms batter you but you provide shelter for your wife (comfort tests).

That's tough. My last gf had kept asking to break up with me, and it's tough to tell whether she wanted to see if I cared enough to fight to stay in the relationship, or if she really wanted to break up.

That behavior is usually seen as red flags, so by the third time I just gave up and said, "Ok. Let's just be friends then."

But I get the impression around the time she wanted to break up, she was actually sleeping with other guys. Maybe I'm wrong.

[–]sh0ckley 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Bro. She's the one who should have to step up and try to stay with YOU. Asking to break up with you is not a comfort test. It's an opportunity for you to NEXT and then GHOST her. Do not offer to friend zone yourself. Ever. Again. And if you got that impression then guaranteed she was. Respectfully, you're welcome.

Well, she was really cute, had a good sense of humor, introduced me to reddit.

She had a lot of good points about her and I didn't want to give up on the relationship.

But oh well, stuff happens.
