This second cycle of Emperor and Dragon Red Stage 3 was a game changer. I feel a lot more “free” and centered. My relationship also got a new turn. I’m more outspoken and clear, boundaries drawn in the sand. I wrote two years back how difficult it is sometimes with my wife. The same troubles exists some times but way less and it ALWAYS has to do with my wife. I’m way more innocent in the behaviour of her than I thought. Sure, sometimes it is just a reflection of my own behaviour but more often than not it’s unresoloved childhood trauma that gets triggered. But since fall 2024 my wife also uses subclub subminals and it helped her enourmously overcome some big blocks of her.
Whats also noticeable is that I allow me to speak my own truth and challenge her with her sometimes strong self-believes. That always causes turmoil in the first place but I now can, thanks to DRR (and all the other subs) take it lightly and not personal.
Emperor is just “my” sub. It has so much good influence on me that I doubt I’ll ever will have a cycle without it 
My cycle is officialy over, but because we are now in the vacation in southern italy at the place where here parents live, I can’t fully make a proper washout. The trauma, that my wife has from her childhood are to overwhelming here. It’s a beautiful place and the parents are very nice, but in the back the trauma of her childhood with her angry and mean father and weak mother are weilding in the dark. The past couple of years showed me that I need my status on the top of the game to survive and not be thrown under the bus of strong old bad feelings and behaviours of her. So I decided to make a special “vacation” stack and to waive the washout. After holidays I will do a longer washout.
The special vacation stack will be:
Day 1: Primal romance and Emperor
Day 3: Primal
Day 5: Primal romance and Emperor
Day 7: Primal
Day 8: Emperor (this day we will drive home, about 16 hours)
I’m confident that I can handle the delayed washout and hope to reinforce the relationship with Primal Romance and seed some “passion” with it and Primal. Last year, Primal was the saviour in the vacation after a first week of “hell”.

This is the start of my special vacation stack. It has a little bit of experimenting in it, because I forgo the washout. See explanation in my post above.
I just disvoered that I have Primal Nights (former Libertin) in my library. That will change the stack a little bit It seems perfect to enhance Primal Romance and seems perfect for vacations in a hot country…
1st day
2.7.26: Primal Romance (15min) Morning
2.7.26: Emperor (3min) Evening
First, I wanted to run Primal Nights today in the evenig. But now, I and my wife, had fantastic sex at siesta time, I reorder the stack to make more sense. Added 3min of Emperor today. In two days, I think I don’t need Emperor, Primal will take care of the status game.

The experiment was too strong. NOT a lot of sex - less than usual on vacation (but the one we had was outstanding).
Primal caused me a LOT of recon; I developed depressive thoughts after running it. The fog of depression only ceased after two days (both times I ran primal). As a result, I removed Primal and also Primal Nights. Emperor and Primals Romance will take care of the rest. The status boost Emperor gives me is precisely what I need here. I can handle the moods of my wife quite well. Without Emperor, I can’t imagine… On day 8, a rest day, I had to listen 3 mins to Emperor. I don’t know why, but I got a status decrease, and I had to increasingly fight shit that got thrown my way. After Emperor, the shit-throwing stopped. Thanks to my development in the last few months, thanks to Dragon Reborn, I could recognize the status shift and do something about it.

Thanks to @Lion for the review and suggestions, and thanks to my wife, who gave me valuable input, too.
The goal for this custom is to further enhance my personal brand, get found and suggested for high value roles (executive roles). It’s time to step out of my comfort zone.
You can step forward into growth or step backward into the comfort zone.

Thank you @Lion. My first NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) just arrived 
Had to run 1 min of Emperor and 1 min of True Sell before the phone call (in washout).

Today had to refuse my first offer for an executive job. I don’t pursue the application process further. The role is way to much over my head (had to be careful not to be victim of the Dunning Kruger Effect) and the firm the position was offered for is known for a poor working environment (this of course I only found out after I signed a NDA). I don’t mind to go outside of my comfort zone, but this was to much and way above of my current skillset. It would have been a lose-lose situation (maybe better salary for me but risking my health in a toxic and highly political workplace).

My support question for my custom was answered realy quick and with a very kind message, it seemed to stem from a person who realy cared).
My first custom arrived yesterday. Exactly 70 hours after placing the order. Didn’t expect it so quick. Anyway will start listen to it earliest on Saturday. Are still in washout. Did a short “hear-in” to now how the standard build sounds without solace.
Start of new cycle. My new custom and DRR4.
Have no name for my custom yet. Althout the standard mask is not bad I regret a bit that I didn’t choose the solace option. Next time I buy a custom I will choose solace.
1st day:
25.7.26: Custom (3min)
4rd day:
28.7.26: DRR4 (3min) forgot to run it yesterday in the evening. Listened to it today early in the morning.
Short recap of my experiences with Primal Romance. I first used it in fall 2024, when I had a really hard time with my wife.
As some of you guys recommended I started to listen to Primal Romance then. The results came fast:
Now, with Primal Romance in my vacation I could see the same results. The relationship got lighter, and my wife leaned more often in my frame.
Now my wife also bought Primal Romance and runs it for herself. The vibe in the relationship is good, not without a few little disagreements, but as I said, much lighter. Our not-so-good bonding types ease their grip. It feels good.
For now I forgo Emperor, which is the most effective and best sub for me. I don’t want to overdo it with my new custom (there’s StarkQ in there) and DDR4 at the same time. Next cycle I will add Emperor back to the mix. I just feel so good and strong on it.
True Sell in my custom is also very powerful for me. I noticed it also the few times I run it solo. Normally I have problems when I talk because I think to much in the background. But with True Sell I’m turning into a chatterbox 
It’s such a good feeling. I just have to watch out that I’m not goint to turn into a boring or annoying chatterbox

7th day:
31.7.26: Custom (5min)
31.7.26: DRR4 (5min)
On the 7th day I started to listen to both of the titles at the same day. No recon.
9th day:
2.8.26: Custom (7min)
2.8.26: DRR4 (7min)
Still no recon. Both titles run smoothly, even with the new dense custom. I had a good day today.
DRR is making me aware of things I’d never really recognized before. It’s highlighting some of my weak spots and showing me how to work toward better outcomes.
To give an example: I tend to engage in avoidance behavior. When I give in to it and avoid things, I end up feeling terrible. I never really connected the dots before. I knew the behavior wasn’t healthy, but I never fully acknowledged the impact it was having on my psyche. Yesterday, I became fully aware of it, and today I was able to keep my promises, simply because I knew I would feel terrible if I didn’t. So, I pushed through and did what I needed to do. Hopefully, I can sustain this behavior and build a good habit out of it.

This week I was able to beat my procrastination at work. The kind of setup I have in my working environment makes it very easy for my to procrastinate. This week was different.
As I said above, I recognized my procrastination at work as a huge driver for depressive and self-diminishing thoughts. So I stopped. The first 3 days went as expected. The thought, “If I do it, I will feel terrible” sets free a lot of energy that gives me the ability to not do it (procrastinate). Two more days and I’ll have a successful week.
