Comparing one's husband to other men

Q: What if someone feels intensely jealous of others and they just don't naturally find contentment in their heart when they look at their own blessings? Like a woman loves her husband and can't imagine life without him but unconsciously, she compares him with other men.

Does this mean that she doesn't actually love her husband in truth? She is disloyal to him?

She can't find it inside her heart to be happy although there is nothing wrong with the man. He has good character but her eyes just seem to be trained on others, ignoring what she has.

Please give a general advice on jealousy and if this means that the woman is not loyal.

Husband cooking for the family

Q: I would like to find out if it's okay for a man to cook for his family ungrudgingly while fulfilling the duties out of the home, out of love for cooking and serving one's spouse in the sense of cooking? Would it be a problem in the long run in the relationship between the spouses?

The wife does clean the house, wash clothes, iron and other household duties but the man likes to cook. Is it against the integrity of being a man and against the sunnat?

Wife seeking husband's permission to go sleep

Q: At 6pm I feed my family. My husband comes late so he eats at 8pm earliest. I try to have my kitchen clean by the time I go to bed at 9pm or 10pm. I check on my husband. We sleep seperate (not ideal but it is what it is). I say goodnight to him and I go to my bed.

Sometimes he tells me that I am not allowed to go to sleep unless he gives me permission to go sleep? Am I disobedient if I go sleep?

This statement makes me feel like a slave and not like a wife.

Is this the level of obedience a wife must give to seek permission for basic human needs?
