What it sounds like
There’s no need to behave like a prison guard.
What it really means
“You’re controlling me and treating me like a prisoner, not your wife.”
Said today
“You don’t have to babysit me like I’m under house arrest.”
What was happening
Simon says he will keep Daphne in sight until they know whether she is pregnant. She answers that she won’t learn the answer within the hour, making his watchful behavior seem especially unreasonable.
