Why do you care if she speaks to you?
Women understand by what you do, not what you say. Threatening doesn’t work. Just tell her it’s ending. Let it be her mission to figure out how to restore it.

Lol. You set this up yourself.
No you didn't. You talked about it casually once and she was open to the idea. You never defined what that would actually look like, and so she had one picture in her mind and you had another.
I'm assuming that because you're defending yourself by bringing this up, you're kinda frustrated and bitter about this. Giving her more than you just means you've placed her on a pedestal and treat her as more valuable as yourself.
Okay - This is the all important question: WHY? WHAT CAUSED THIS?
Is she happy and fulfilled staying at home by herself all day, with no significant purpose or sense of accomplishment or identity? Most people I know would likely get depressed. She's bored out of her mind, so she spends her money on clothes and useless crap.
You're bitter because she isn't showering you with praise, gratitude and gifts. She's bitter because you've put her into this position and she doesn't bother buying you anything or doing anything for you because you've created a codependent relationship in which you do all the providing. Plus in her mind, if you wanted something - You'd go out and buy it for yourself. It's all your money anyways.
Sounds like the telltale signs of someone who is lonely and depressed, or just plain bored. She doesn't get tingles from you, so she seeks excitement from clothes, friends & shopping.
All she continues to do is try to escape the feeling of isolation, boredom & uselessness by distracting herself with fun & seeking out support & community.
And then... You went full retard.
There is just too much stupid here to easily break down, but I've been there and done similar autist things.
Rule #1 - Don't ask a girl what is wrong... She doesn't want to have to ask you to fix it, she wants you to fix it without even asking. If she needs to talk about it, she'll come to you. Asking a woman what is wrong is like poking a cranky bear with a stick. Nobody wins.
Rule #2 - Don't EVER try to talk to your girl and pretend to care about her with an ulterior motive. You asked her what was wrong... She says nothing. You then proceed to word vomit all the things that are bothering you and all the ways she is letting you down, in a super passive aggressive, backhanded way that makes her feel like shit. Now not only does she feel like crap, she feels like you don't care about her at all - The only reason you asked how she was doing is because you wanted something out of her.
So you got angry, and decided to talk down to her like a 3 year old. Did you really expect that to go well?
In general, when your woman is mad, she will say all sorts of things that don't make logical sense. They don't think and speak rationally so much as emotionally. Also, she probably thinks you guys are a team since, you know... You're married. Therefore in her mind, you don't get 100% say over what happens to the money.
Then you burst her bubble, and communicate that in fact you guys are NOT a team, she doesn't get any say in the money. Which makes her question everything about you two as a couple. If you're not a team, who are you? And lately she hasn't even been getting those tingles from you anymore. Every time you're around you're just grumpy and butt hurt that the house isn't clean and she sits around and spends money while you're working hard to provide and why can't she just APPRECIATE everything you do for her?
Meanwhile, she doesn't give a damn about the money. She just wants a MAN who will take her, ravish her, have fun with her, take her on adventures, and give her FEELZ.
Yes, if you can't pay for rent, THEN she'll care about the money. But just because you cover the finances doesn't mean she'll be attracted to you or appreciative of you.
Her Daddy paid for her rent and clothes and allowance when she was growing up, but that didn't mean she was attracted to him.
You've placed yourself in the same role as her Dad, including threatening to cut off her allowance - and yet you're expecting her to treat you like a lover?
I don't have a clue what all the answers are for you - But these are the biggest issues. Honestly I went through the EXACT same situation with my wife (She was going to volunteer at church, then she was going to start a business... then nothing. Never got a job, didn't cook, just sat on instagram and slept until 1pm every day)
In hindsight, I created these problems by placing her in that environment, failing to lead and clearly define our roles + adjusting as necessary, and placing ALL the focus on making money. Honestly, a successful relationship is like 10% money. Girls can be 100% horny for the penniless bass player in the crappy grunge rock band - The money isn't nearly as important to them as the other things. So work on the other stuff first. Give her FEELZ.
And please, once you figure this out, share an update and let us know what you learned.

What an idiot. He probably skimmed a little bit of TRP, decided that he needed to “up the alpha” and went Rambo. The fact that he doesn’t have the frame to make such an ultimatum without running to the internet for advice speaks volumes on his sense of frame.

Hysterical bonding, pregnancy and he'll be back here in no time.

So you basically demoted your wife to a live in maid and are now wondering why she’s not liking the set up? Good thing I saw this, I was thinking about paying my wife to do all the childcare work around the house. I’m sure she would love it.

OP, why do you care about this guy? Why share his post here?
