Day 2: Rest/Processing
Talking with @TheEmpress about LME and how it’s helping with her kids, I started wondering if I should give it a go at some point. My son is 24, but I find that he still annoys me with stuff he talks about (non-stop, I’ll add) and I don’t like that it annoys me.
He’s always trying to involve me in his projects, and it’s all stuff I have zero interest in.
It wouldn’t be bad if it were occasional. But he rambles on and on (has a supposed bipolar diagnosis now so is on what some would call the manic/high stage).
So maybe LME will help me relate to him better, even though, from what I’ve read, LME is more for when your kids are still in the house. Couldn’t hurt to give it a cycle at some point, though.
Also on my mind is probably recon from Heartsong being in the same stack with Emperor and IrresistiBILL.
Took the wife to work today (got a cashier job at the local grocery store). On the way back, she sent “Damn Forgot my vitamin water in the fridge.”
And usually I’d be annoyed, but today, I just said “I’ll bring it to you.”
Then said “Actually, I’ll go to the other store that has the big ones.”
She liked that…texted “oooh”. lol.
Bought one and took it to her at her store.
While I was waiting (She was checking out customers), I watched her work, and felt proud of her for doing what she’s doing. She really can’t stand for long without her back hurting like hell. Thanks to giving birth to my son 
Then I felt sad, like I could be a better partner somehow. Sometimes wish it could be like before, where I had the job, made the money, so she could stay home.
But that’s where resentment comes into play if I’ve been working all day, come home and she asks me to X or Y around the house, and I’ll say “You’ve had ALL DAY blah blah”.
I’m just feeling some emotional stuff going on really.
I tend to forget sometimes that Emperor isn’t an ALPHA sub per se, it seems more Sigma (been discussed on forum quite a bit).
And over the years, she’s always commented how I tend to “hide” in my office/shop. Or that I’m always busy doing stuff, or try to keep myself busy.
I can’t stand to just sit around unless I’m just tired/resting. Even then I’ll try to read something. Or I’ll just sit there in thought.
And she’ll get annoyed sometimes if she starts talking without warning, and I’m reading or thinking and don’t fully hear or understand what she said. She’ll get annoyed at having to repeat herself. And I’m like “If you see me readng or staring off into the distance, get my attention first before jumping right into what you’re gonna say”.
Anyway, I’m sure I’m a hard person to live with.
So yeah, she doesn’t want/enjoy sex nearly as much as me. Not even close.
Sometimes wish I could just “turn off” that part of me. and I don’t mean Khan Black style transmutation. Just “turning it off” would make stuff easier sometimes. Or so this recon has me thinking.
I think I mostly relate to Tony Stark during the times he’s in the shop, tinkering, creating cool shit.
He isn’t hung up on girls/sex during those times. It just isn’t even a thing for him in those times.
I think I’m just not “husband material” really. I do tend to favor solitude most of the time.
I don’t enjoy traditional “family quality time” shit. Board Games. Watching most TV. Sight-seeing.
Since I already seem sigma-ish/solitary so much as is, maybe Emperor isn’t the title for me. Or MAYBE it’s THE title for me and I just need to let go of some things in life.
I don’t see myself ever getting married again, if I were to end up single. I’ve always been solitary and that suits me.
The other day, I found myself sorta wishing the wife would just find someone better for her and leave me. But that’s most likely because I don’t wanna be “the asshole”. I don’t wanna be the reason shit implodes on itself.
This recon is strong af. It’s gonna be a challenge sticking with this stack. I’ll try, though.
