Hey, this is Sam.

This is John. Your OG OK Storytime podcast host. And we got some great stories coming up. Before that, we have a quick two-minute break from the sponsors that keep the show a lot. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. I refuse to share my location with my wife. Now she thinks I'm cheating. Where were you? I'm male 41.

I've been with my wife, female 37, for six years. We have a three-year-old daughter. My wife decided to be a state-home mom after our baby was born and didn't go back to work after her maternity leave ended. And we live in Canada. By the way, this comes from Clear Sun 9-220. And if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R slash OK Storytime subreddit.

And I'm Angie. I'm Sophia. And we're here to give good advice goofily, but we don't have all the answers. So we're just going to guess what we would do in this situation, but let us know what you would do in the comments. And OP says, we divide the housework and child care equally. I watched the baby

two nights a week. She can go to the gym for a little mental health break. I asked her if I could

have one night a week of quiet time. And she asked what that meant. I said, just pretend I'm not here.

I'll be in our room reading or listening to music for one hour only. And she agreed.

Every single time, though, she came to our room either to talk or tell me that she was bored.

When I reminded her about our deal, she got upset and said that I was making excuses to avoid spending time with her.

Another time, I told her I would be going going to local coffee shop just to read for one hour

of quiet time. Oh, that sounds nice. My wife decided to do a surprise visit there. Not as nice.

Not when you specifically say I'm going here for quiet time. Yeah, and she already agreed that

like he's allowed one hour of quiet time

every now and then. That's so weird. She already agreed that you're allowed one hour of quiet time?

Well, yeah, I think, yeah. It's like, come on, come on, guys. She said the baby wanted to surprise her daddy.

I smiled and said I just wanted a little quiet time. I can see, I can see Ope's going, going, oh, I just wanted a little quiet time. Yeah. She sat down and talked so loudly that I had to say, let's just go home. This time I decided to go to the public library. My wife asked where I was going and I told

her I hadn't decided yet, but that as per our deal, it was my night. She got upset because I was

refusing to share where I was going. That one hour of quiet time was heavenly. No one called my name

and I came back home so happy. When I came home, my wife was furious.

She said that she wanted to check my phone and then asked if I was seeing or talking to anyone.

I laughed. I said that I was at the library and she could ask the librarians if they saw me.

Hope he just wants to read. Just let him sit in his silence. He's just a quiet little reader man. Just one hour. He's asking for one hour. He's there reading fourth wing.
