My husband wants to 'imprison' me just because of unreasonable jealousy.

I was stunned after hearing my husband say that. I was still young, had many friends and colleagues, and I still wanted to dress nicely like other girls.

I never thought that after getting married, life would be so constrained, wherever I go and whatever I do, I will be confined. It seems like my husband wants to "imprison" me within 4 high walls, with full material, good conditions...

My husband and I knew each other for almost a year before getting married. Compared to all the men I knew, my husband was the most "perfect" man: handsome, stylish, well-educated, with a stable job, a big house, and good financial conditions. However, during the time we knew each other and dated, he never revealed his selfish and overly jealous nature. Only after we got married did I realize that this perfect husband had a terrible jealousy.

After 2 weeks of marriage, my husband bluntly declared, “Now that you are a married woman, I don’t want you to interact too much with boys. Moreover, I know you are beautiful, even without makeup you are still beautiful. You are married and don’t need to dress up. Tomorrow I will take you to buy new clothes, you can throw away those short, cool dresses you used to wear. I don’t want anyone to remind you about how to dress.”

I was stunned after hearing my husband say that. I was still young, only 24 years old, I still had many relationships, I still wanted to dress beautifully like other girls. Why did I have to make myself ugly after getting married? In the following days, I still firmly opposed my husband's decision.

I thought that would be the end of it, but unexpectedly my husband resorted to “confining” his wife. I know he is a gentleman, he would never be violent and hit his wife like other men. But being “confined” by my husband within four walls is even more painful.

My husband said that if I do not change the way I dress and limit my relationships outside, he will not let me go out on dates, with friends, or even go back to my hometown. He even forbids me from going to work. My husband's jealousy is unreasonable. To him, simple dresses are "revealing". How can I wear a closed shirt and long pants 24/7?

Nearly a month passed and I was going crazy because of my husband’s unreasonable jealousy. I didn’t know what I should do to change his narrow-minded thoughts. A person who seemed “perfect” turned out to have many flaws that I could never accept. What’s the point of having money and a big house if I can’t do what I love?
