My wife and daughter keep telling me I need to shave my legs.
I’ve been telling them that I’ll shave mine when they shave theirs.
My daughter basically doesn’t have body hair yet and my wife shaves regularly.
Neither appreciate that comment

Sleep is going to be abysmal tonight as I’m not getting home until 6 or 7am… 3-4 hours after my scheduled snoozerinos.
I’ve ordered 5-HTP to help get my sleep back on track… was putting that off for far too long.

Got 5 solid hours last night. I’ll take it.
You know how there’s always that one retarded wheel on the shopping cart that just doesn’t know what it’s doing? That was both of my legs on the treadmill.

I’ll use this as an opportunity to be accountable when i didnt want to be. I need it.
Wife has been out of town for last 3-4 days and I’ve been solo parenting. Not too difficult tbh, but i used this as an excuse to go off diet Friday. Was over target by 400cals. It was healthy food but that’s irrelevant.
I was supposed to follow up with coach today and I didn’t because i let the scale get to my head. I know it’s a flawed metric, but i keep letting it get to me.

So much this. I know the mirror and belt is a way better metric, but the endorphin rush, or crash, from that instant scale number is annoyingly addicting.

Shoulders did not appreciate the order for this one.
Small performance drop in Shoulder Press for backdown set, otherwise this was a productive session.

Was just scrolling your log and found some really good/helpful stuff in there. This one really stuck out to me. Have been going through a rough patch with my wife. Things aren’t horrible, but our dynamic has been off. Long story short, I began having insecurities, about myself mainly, which are unwarranted. It threw me into a negative mindset tailspin, needing reassurance from my wife, which she couldn’t understand.
I began being “needy”, when she would come home and skip our normal “after work” kiss, i would ask why, or make similar comments.
I noticed that my neediness was turning her off, and bothering her. So I made a conscious effort the next day, to be slightly stand off-ish.. Not being rude, but essentially not kissing her ass… Instantly, she was all over me, coming over to me, kissing me, rubbing my back, being overly friendly. I couldn’t put my finger on why, but now i understand what I did, and what needs to be done. Interesting stuff..

Unsolicited advice:
She’s your wife, not your mom… this is NOT her job.
Your mental stability is 100% your responsibility, and putting ANY of it on someone else does you both a disservice. Moreover, the neediness is one of the biggest turn offs in women.
Don’t ever do this to a woman you want to keep.

I know this, 100%. I essentially skipped over the part of my story where I lost control of my thoughts, began having intrusive thoughts, basically a light psychosis to be honest. I did a 180 from the confident, strong man that i normally am. Luckily i have been with my wife for 18+ years and she knew this wasn’t who I am. I have already begun working on my issues and have made improvements, but still have a ways to go.
I know everything I have done in those few months was completely opposite of how i normally feel and act, and it definitely strained our relationship. Slowly getting back to normal. Anyway, i just thought that was interesting that you mentioned that. Which of those 3 books would you recommend the most, as i usually have to start with 1, otherwise i wont ever get to any of them.
Hard to tell without knowing more about you.
The first one is good for helping undo mental models that cause anger. This one requires a lot of introspection, practice, and time to be effective.
The second one is good for learning to establish boundaries. This one requires mostly practice and time.
The third one helps understand the misconceptions about male and female roles in society, sexual attraction, and the world as it is. Obviously, this one helps with things in the bedroom, but all 3 books have tools to help mold you into a more attractive person (sexually and otherwise).
This one mostly requires an open mind and practice.
Whichever of these you feel you are most deficient in, read that one. If you’re still not sure, read them in the order i listed… NMMNG > WISNIFG > MMSLP.
It should go without saying that taking the time to internalize these things is the only way for these books to work. I had to re-read some sections of NMMNG a couple times over the course of months to get things situated right.
These books are filled with the things that all fathers should be teaching their sons.
