Dear Amy: I wonder if my expectations are too high, or if my wife is controlling me?
It’s your house, too. You have the right to spend time there, whenever you want.
You don’t report asking your wife why, exactly, she wants you out of the house so much. She might respond that she is used to her privacy during the day, and she wants to bleach her mustache or dance to oldies in her bathrobe without you being there. I think it’s a good thing for couples to sit down and more or less map out their schedules for the week. But you should not leave the house most days just to make your wife happy.
You should seek therapy on your own. Think of it this way — it will be another hour or so every week where you will be elsewhere.I have to admit that I actually enjoyed one aspect of the global pandemic: Staying put over the holidays.
