My Husband Demands That I Tell Him Everything That Happens in My Day, So I Decided to Teach Him a Lesson

Many struggle to find the right balance between sharing and privacy in their relationships. Some partners may want to know everything that happens in their partner’s day, while others may prefer to keep some things to themselves. In this article, we will tell you the story of a woman whose husband demands that she tell him everything that happens in her day and how it affects their marriage.

Here is the story that this woman shared on Reddit: "I and my husband had a huge argument, and he demanded that I HAVE to tell EVERYTHING that happens in my day. I suddenly agreed. He honestly should have thought that was too easy. He knows how I am.

Some time back, I used to tell him a lot about what happened in my day, but when he started causing drama over most of the things, I stopped.

So this time, I told him everything from waking up to walking to the bathroom, breathing, washing hands, drying hands, etc. You get the point.

I will give him credit. He lasted 3 days, then begged me to stop. He apologized a lot and begged forgiveness when I continued doing it. We had a long talk, and now he doesn’t cause drama when discussing our day. He does try to better himself like I do."

P.S. “He’s scared that I’ll suddenly leave him. His ex-wife of 21 years divorced him. I met him shortly afterward, and we were friends for 5 years before we started dating. We’ll get into huge arguments because of his insecurities. Then, cool down and come back to discuss things. However, in our arguments, he never yells or insults me. Generally, he’ll go to his best friend, who has been married for 40+ years, come home, apologize, and then work on the insecurity. That’s why I stay with him, he works at changing himself for the better. He used to be insanely jealous. It took a few months and some reminders, but he changed.”

• I did this with my ex-boss. He was a micromanager. He called me into his office one day and said, “I don’t know what you do all day. I don’t know where you are or where you are going. I don’t even know when you start. From now on, I want you to email me as soon as you get into the office and what you do throughout the day.” Queue my revenge. Rough_Jackfruit_3586 / Reddit
• It’s good that he’s making an effort. Just remember that it’s never your responsibility; it may not be his fault, but that is on him to fix. He shouldn’t offload that onto you to deal with. It should be a team approach. He does most of the work, and you support him. LivelyZebra / Reddit

Different families have different traditions. Some people even ask to show a bank balance before even going on a first date and have their reasons for that.
