> If a guy gets in shape and makes himself more fun and interesting to save his marriage, that's a bad thing?

That is not what the linked page describes. Here is one example:

> Just the other night, I called her to let her know I was coming home so she could time dinner to be ready when I got home.

I was dead tired from my martial arts training that day (I was doing full contact kickboxing training, very rigorous)…and I stopped at my friends house at around 5:00pm to drop something off that I had borrowed from them and have a quick drink before heading home.

After one drink, I lay down on my friend’s couch for a moment…and the next thing I know, it’s 2:30am in the morning.

I drove home, and got into bed. I thought she was asleep…but she promptly said in a real bitchy tone “Where you having fun tonight?!?!”

I simply said “I fell asleep on _____’s couch. I’m tired, good night, dear.”

And promptly rolled over and went to sleep. I don’t even remember what she said to me in response.

If you call someone (wife, partner, friend) and tell them you are on your way home at 5:00 PM knowing that they will begin cooking dinner and don't show up until 2:30 AM then not apologizing doesn't make you "alpha", it makes you a shit head.
