My husband wants to 'confine' me just because of baseless jealousy.

I was stunned after hearing my husband say that. I'm still young, I have many friends and colleagues, and I still want to dress nicely like other girls.

I never imagined that getting married would make life so restrictive, with everything I do and everywhere I go being controlled. It seems my husband wants to "imprison" me within four high walls, surrounded by material comforts and good living conditions...

My husband and I knew each other for almost a year before getting married. Compared to other men I knew, my husband was the most "perfect" one: handsome, charming, from a respectable family, with a stable job, a big house, and good financial means. However, throughout our courtship, he never revealed his selfish or excessively jealous nature. Only after we got married did I discover that this seemingly perfect husband had a terrible jealous streak.

Two weeks after our wedding, my husband bluntly declared, "Now that you're married, I don't want you interacting too much with other men. Besides, I know you're beautiful, even without makeup. You're married now, so you don't need to dress up. Tomorrow I'll take you shopping for new clothes. Throw away those short, revealing dresses you wore before. I don't want anyone telling you how to dress."

Illustrative image.

I was stunned after hearing my husband say that. I'm still young, only 24 years old, I have many relationships, and I still want to dress nicely like other girls. Why should I have to make myself look bad after getting married? In the days that followed, I remained adamant about opposing my husband's decision.

I thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, my husband resorted to "confining" me. I know he's a gentleman; he would never be violent and hit his wife like other men. But being "imprisoned" within four walls by my husband was infinitely more painful.

My husband says that if I don't change my style of dress and limit my social interactions, he won't let me go out on dates, meet friends, or even go back to my hometown. He even forbids me from going to work. My husband's jealousy is unreasonable; even simple dresses are considered "revealing" to him. How can I possibly wear a modest shirt and long pants 24/7?

Almost a month has passed and I'm going crazy because of my husband's unreasonable jealousy. I don't know what to do to change his narrow-minded thinking. A person who seemed "perfect" turns out to have so many flaws that I can never accept. What good are money and a big house if you can't do what you love?
