Should you 'punish' your significant other for a major (non-infidelity) screw-up?

    Do a mock burning outside or somewhere. Get some dolls made into lifelike impressions of your children. Also record your children screaming and crying and play that while the dolls are burning. No way you don't get laid that night for all the effort.

    Me grounding my wife??!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL....There are very few women out there who are as stubborn and as strong-willed as my wife (I guess part of the reason why I am attracted to her and with her).

    The first 5 years we were married - we fought all the time and it got so bad, that I pulled the plug in 2011 as I did not want my son nor her daughter (my step-daughter) witnessing such toxicity in the household. With that being said, we stayed close and became better friends when we were NOT married compared to being married.

    I have learned since I remarried her back in March of 2020 that marriage obviously takes hard work and that loving someone is a choice. The first time around, I wasn't husband material as I didn't really want to be there to help her. I was too busy with my own things and being too self-absorbed. Yet the light went off a couple of years ago and now my marriage is more fulfilling. But that doesn't mean we still don't have arguments. I got upset at her the other day because she wanted me to do something (that I felt that she could do on her own) else instead of getting our dogs outside to pee and poop. Of course, one of them pooped which made me go bonkers. But we worked it out.

    So, I would let her know how much that bothers you and as long as she acknowledges her screw-up, there is not much more you can do. Punishing your spouse like a kid is laughable, IMO.

    I would make your face look like this. Reveal it when she comes home. Let her know the consequence of her actions:

    Also she can make amends by watching u in a threesome...

    Imagine getting dominated by someone with a weak stream, though. It'd make you feel even more emasculated.

    What was your screw-up, and what would have been potential consequences?

    That's the thing with shock therapy... You do it until it is.

    Yes, it's a huge mistake. Have a talk, get over it. She'll never do it again.

    We did. I wasn’t even mad. It’s just a big deal. She’s massively contrite. It’s not a regular thing. I think the severity of it all was impactful.

    She had some dental work and an outpatient derm procedure today too, and is in all sorts of pain. Add in the burner and the insanity in DC and she’s pretty defeated. So I told her she was still grounded...from doing anything that wasn’t restful. She was trying to fold clothes. Crazy woman.

    At mom's, just caught her googling "q anon" because she didn't know what it was.

    Told her she's on the lizard google tracking list now.

    I can't count how many times i've left it on, surprisingly never during drunk cooking. The one that gets me is heating tortillas on a double burner griddle. I ALWAYS forget to turn that ho off because my focus is usually on cooking my main ingredients and it's just warming my pre cooked tortillas so it's on lowest heat.

    I should definitely be punished, daddy.

    ‘punish’

    If you think your SO hasn’t ‘punished’ you in the past you’re nuts.

    I have not been punished since I graduated High School I don't know what the you are talking about.

    Adults don't punish each other unless they are in to that type of thing.

    No my SO has not punished me, been pissed at me yes, but not punished.

    Grounded?

    LMAO.

    An ex of mine left the gas grill on, on the wood patio, almost overnight. I woke up to go have a smoke around 4 and you could barely get near the grill it was so hot. I got a little bit mad.
