My grandfather used to wonder at what point the lovely, blushing, demure, innocent brides turned into nagging, shrieking, control freak wives. (Yes, I have cleaned that up.)

I suspect in his case, the answer was sometime when he was on the Indian Ocean bound for somewhere exotic.

Probably after a few experiences of husbands' staying out boozing until they returned home too late for sex.

Yep I would go with this.  I had a colleague a few years ago who went to the Pub every lunchtime. this mellowed him enough to be amenable to an after work Drink 3 or four times a week .  This inevitably led to several more and he  tuirned up home around 9pm to find his dinner in the oven but inedible and his wife less than impressed.

One Saturday we were working and the doorman called him down stairs where he was served an order that prevented him from going home .The bloke only had the clothes he stood up in.
I had to keep my mouth shut when he was moaning loudly "why has she done this, whta heve I DONE?).
Found out later she had got so fed up with his drunken antics she had taken a lover and moved him  in
