Am I right to insist that my wife eats alone?

The woman does nothing but live a life of leisure, get the privilege of being lent out to your brother, among getting run around the grounds by servants in a wheelbarrow when she is feeling down. What more does this woman expect? After all you provide her she still expects to get to eat with you? A sound paddle on the bum is in order sir! She needs to learn her place in this world and it is wherever you, as her husband, says it is! Yes, definitely paddle her a good one!
