Husband Installs Cameras To Check If Her Stay At Home Wife Actually Works As Much As She Claims

Does a valid reason exist to spy on your spouse? An unresolved disagreement over household tasks and workload of a wife, prompted a husband (OP) to monitor his wife’s daily activities. OP is the primary earner while the woman is the stay-at-home mom handling their five-year-old child and two dogs. Evidently, OP’s wife required additional support for her household responsibilities and so nagged OP about wanting to hire someone to help around the house. OP became suspicious and told his assistant to spy on her, finding lies and much more. Keep on reading to see what happens next:

#1) Is OP in the wrong for this?

#2) OP and his wife met when they were young and got married when they were expecting a daughter. OP works full time while his wife is a stay at home mom.

#3) Recently, OP and his wife have been fighting a lot about how much work she has, which OP has tried to be considerate of.

#4) OP’s wife recently decided she wanted to hire a cleaning lady to take some of the workload off of her plate and started demanding to know what wage they could pay.

#5) OP gave his assistant the password to his home security so he could spy on OP’s wife.

#6) OP details her daily routine,

#7) Apparently, OP’s wife was lying about her actual workload.

#8) OP confronted his wife and it didn’t go well. She still continues to lie to OP.

In additional replies to the comments on his post, OP made it evident that his wife has no desire for a job. She indulges in an affluent social life outside of her marriage, alongside several hobbies and events to occupy her time. These feelings of discontent do not seem like they stem from external factors. I agree with the other Redditor’s opinions that these two might feel stuck in their marriage with little idea of how to navigate this. Read some of the comments down below:

#9) Yeah, this is NOT something one can ignore.

#10) This comment is the one I agree with the most.

#11) OP’s approach to this situation was very creepy.

#12) If you dumb it down like that, it sounds very obvious that both parties are at fault.

#13) How could you do that to someone you are married to?

#14) Might be worth looking into.

#15) I’m sensing a lot of underlying issues.

#16) I don’t think anyone would be okay with that.

#17) These two weeks don’t really mean that much on their own.

Nobody would ever give OP an NTA after what he did.

OP needs to get it together.

#18) I hope OP’s wife goes to get evaluated.

More appreciation of her work is required.

#19) Divorce would be reasonable.

Housework is not a responsibility everyone can take on without going mad.

#20) It’s not something you can ignore, for sure.

Was OP putting in contributions as well?
