Been getting some results of late here. Was going out with the guys last night and I got the " hey your looking nice". This am she asked me if I lost weight. I replied no not really.
I have been lifting hard of late and noticed I do look different. I've been working my core and abs hard. It shows. I've been taking on more of the Captains role here too. We sat out on the deck having a beer while I was BBQ dinner. I started to play with her toes. We talked about life in general. Just out of the blue she states " I'm really liking sitting here and talking with you. ". Things may be looking up.

Those Who Dare......Win. "What gives you fear today...Gives you Strength tomorrow.."Hmmm no sex for 12 days now. Mind you we've both been sick here as well. Going to try a hard initiation tonight.
Need to switch things up abit here. She seems to think we are doing good. For me it feels like stuck in limbo. Been passing her tests I think. It's hard to explain but the last week or two I've been off. Perhaps losing interest???
I know for sure I've lost my Oneitis for her. I think at times that scares me.
Into Phase 3..
Those Who Dare......Win. "What gives you fear today...Gives you Strength tomorrow.."Your eye wandering?
No not at all. I know for sure there is a few gals at work I could nail. But that's not what I want. I want her. I use to think she was the only one for me. I'd love her forever. Can't live without her. But that has changed.
I know I can be without her. She can be replaced.
I'm a good looking guy. New pussy would not be an issue.
I'm never going to beg for sex again. I will get the sex I desire.
If she's not part of the plan or won't buy in, I'm done.
No more co dependant marriage. I'm me and me alone. Responsible for my happiness. Not her. However I won't live in a sexless relationship for much longer.
Into Phase 3..
Those Who Dare......Win. "What gives you fear today...Gives you Strength tomorrow.."I want to go with "scary" a bit more. That's a strong word. Any idea why it scares you? To me, it sounds healthy.
I agree it is very healthy. The scary thing is how much my thinking has changed on this. I do like it though. That I can tell you with conviction.

Those Who Dare......Win. "What gives you fear today...Gives you Strength tomorrow.."@fordsvt -- Dude, get out of my head.
I'm going thru much the same as you. I noticed Mrs. Cart had pimples a few days ago. Moreover, I pointed them out to her. Then the other night I noticed her ass is kinda big. (No, I didn't mention THAT to her.)
Now that I am living more in my Frame I hear what she is saying. The emotional garbage that comes out of my wife's mouth is amazing. Thanks to MMSL I know to not listen to this shit, look at what she's DOING (as in ACTIONS). Mean words are just the hamster throwing out beta bait. Sorry you furry fucker, beta died.
MAP on.
Put back on course via a 'One Hour Call' with Athol. Seriously worth 10 times the cost, but don't tell him that....

Just remember Actions speak louder than any words.
The Hamster is always on the wheel. Ready to run like fuck.
Only we can stop it. Just have to learn the tools
Into Phase 3..
Those Who Dare......Win. "What gives you fear today...Gives you Strength tomorrow.."Going back to your June 7 update. What does "Work on trust" mean? What is the action here?
This is one in my world and for me it means leave work when I say I am. Let her know when I will be late. Do what I say I am going to do - example, I will fix that stuck door then get to it at the soonest reasonable time.
What does this one look like to you?
Trust means Say what I mean and mean what I say. Also since she had the EA I was having a hard time trusting her. So it also means no spying checking up or sneaking looks at her phone. If I want to see her phone I ask. So does she.
She always texts me where she is or when leaving etc. I don't even ask her to do that. Trust is hard to rebuild. We both have to do that. I think it encompasses everything really.

Those Who Dare......Win. "What gives you fear today...Gives you Strength tomorrow.."1.Caught her staring at my legs. I do lots in the gym on them as well. Getting defined.
2. Again shes looking at me. I have no shirt on so I say what? "your love handles" I said what love handles?? she says, yes I know..."their gone... " (I know they are hehe)
3."I like that shirt on you, it looks great. You should get another" Perhaps I will ...
4. "You have a good tan this year. " Hey thanks I said. It's from cutting the grass and working in the yard with my shirt off (I'm getting abs soon).

Thanks to all. Yes I'm or was on Tam but not for awhile. But no longer. It's quite negative there.
Since reading NMMNG and Athols books things have changed for me a lot. It's been a journey so far and still going forward.
I'm not even sure if I will stay in my marriage. Who knows. ? But I do know I will be better in the end either way. It's only up to me.
Into Phase 3..
Those Who Dare......Win. "What gives you fear today...Gives you Strength tomorrow.."I should rephrase what I said in my last post. I want my marriage to work. I also think we are both trying very hard. I do see some major improvements. It a work of time. I intend to see it through.
Into Phase 3..
Those Who Dare......Win. "What gives you fear today...Gives you Strength tomorrow.."You are doing the work. Your marriage will get a chance to survive because of that.

There most days when I think it will. Things go really well. Then once in awhile it feels deflated lost and missing some parts. We are missing the intamacy part for sure. There's not enough of it. That's why my hard initiations is still a Red / Yellow. Hope to change that in the months coming up.
