Note-Admins, this really does need to go functional for the community.
Now, on to the answer:
OK, this is NOT covered directly within TSM, but it IS covered indirectly – because the OP admits (and OWNS – way to go Brother!) that he is feeling out a little out control of his own emotional investment. Knowing this, its good because he DOES have it under control, at least on the date this was posted. Whether for the OP, or for our other Brothers – remaining in control of our own emotions is where a guy has to start. Its easy to get caught up in the “feels”, whether in the moment or in the afterglow (up to a couple of days or so later). Women act based on emotion way too much, as MEN – we should avoid this. As HVM (High Value Men), it is critical we do not fall into acting emotionally.
