Robert Robertson Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I (45M) have a wife (27F) and our relationship was going pretty strong before the start of all of this, but now I have to reconsider. My wife came home one evening a full half hour later than usual. I asked her what had kept her, and she said the traffic was bad. The same thing happened the next day, I questioned her about it, and she admitted she'd gone to get a drink with a male coworker, and she didn't tell me this because she knows how I am with these things. I promptly reminded her that this sort of behavior was not allowed, and told her that I was imposing a curfew of 5PM on her until further notice. Well, the next day, she came home at 6PM, and when she did, I pointed out she had broken the rules, and that this is a household of discipline and integrity, and in order for such a household to function, the way she's behaving cannot be allowed to slide. I told her she was grounded for a week, marched her upstairs by the arm, locked her in our bedroom, and confiscated her phone. I brought her food and drink for the night, and told her not to worry because I would bring her sufficient food and drink to last each day (there is a bathroom connected to our bedroom so don't worry about that). I assured her that this was necessary for the good of our marriage. Today her phone rang, I answered, and it was her boss. He asked why she didn't show up today, to which I explained the situation, and when he criticized my course of action, I politely requested that he not intrude on our relationship or my disciplinary techniques, and that the sanctimony of our household was far more important than his profits. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BaileyB Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 This cannot be a serious post, because what you are doing is illegal in most countries. You cannot lock your wife in a bedroom - that is called unlawful or forced confinement. If I was her boss, I would have called the police. If this is a serious post, you need to unlock that door immediately. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
S2B Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 She’s a grown woman not a child! if she wants to stay late then let her! you act like she is your slave. I hope when she exits that room she rubs from you and never looks back! consider you are too controlling and demanding. The marriage will never leave room for HER happiness.

Author Robert Robertson Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 3 minutes ago, S2B said: you act like she is your slave. Quite the contrary, as I am making her stay in our room a pleasant one and giving her a week off work. I bring her whatever food and drink she wants and we have a TV for anything she could possibly want to watch. I simply want her to understand that we have rules and I am trying to protect our marriage from the poison of outside influence such as male coworkers (I also never speak to any female other than her because I value her).
