Wife gets gaslit by husband after she 'violates his privacy while he's asleep.'

When this wife is frustrated with her husband, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for getting back at my husband?&quot; Background: My (32f) have been married to my (36m) husband for about a month and I moved to his country after the wedding and that&#39;s where we now live. The problem is that my husband never takes my word for it or believes me about anything unless he has solid proof.  For example, I am an English teacher and English is my first language, and his second. He was writing a report the other day and asked me if the word &quot;nil&quot; was spelt like &quot;nill&quot; or with one &quot;l&quot;.  I spelt it correctly for him and he decided that he still needed to Google it to make sure that it&#39;s correct. He does this all the time, no matter what. He&#39;ll ask me something, only to then Google it or ask someone else.  The other day he went out to work and came home early.
