Married to high school sweetheart. Started dating 22 years ago.

Do you love her? Do you respect her? Do you value her?

Absolutely.

Do you view her as inferior? Do you think she is less intellectually capable than you by virtue of being a woman? Do you consider her a friend, and a partner?

She's not inferior. She's different.

I know she's smart (we did IQ tests together when we were young). And she has 1 more degree than I do. :)

She would also kill for her children.

Yes, she's a woman. She has a hard time telling a story that has a beginning and an end. :) She doesn't communicate overtly. She gets emotional easily. When she does, she argues instead of sticking to the point she appeals to emotion, does personal attacks or plays the victim. At that point it's futile to explain anything rationally, like I would do to a man. But my daughter does the same thing and I still love her.

What is her role in your life?

She's a great mother to our children. We lived in 3 countries and had ups and downs together. I think we always made a good parenting team.

It is suggested that you cannot be honest with her, you cannot be vulnerable with her, and she will not love you unconditionally. Her love is more like amplified respect, and it will only hold true for as long as you maintain your dominance.

I was honest and vulnerable, a textbook beta provider and ended up with years of textbook dead bedroom. I seriously wanted to divorce her every 2-3 years starting from year 1 but we stayed together for the kids.

I've been trying a different approach now. Will have to see if it works long term. (Short term there has been a lot of improvement.) If it wasn't for /r/marriedredpill we wouldn't be together now.
