What are the possible reasons in stories for a wife being reluctantly taken?

One example could be in a story where a wife is reluctantly taken on a long and arduous journey to a new place she has no interest in. Maybe her husband got a job transfer and she has to leave behind her friends and familiar surroundings. She's reluctant at first but then gradually discovers new things and starts to adapt.

One possible reason could be a lack of attention in the marriage. If the husband is always busy at work and neglects his wife's emotional needs, the wife might be more vulnerable to the so - called 'attention' from a friend.

One reason could be financial instability. If the couple is not in a good financial situation, the wife may be reluctant to have a child as she fears not being able to provide for the baby properly. Another reason might be career - oriented. She may have important career goals that she feels will be derailed by pregnancy and motherhood at that time. Also, if the relationship has some underlying issues, like lack of emotional support from the husband, she may be reluctant to bring a child into such an environment.

It could be due to misinformation or someone trying to spread false rumors for malicious reasons. Maybe there was a misunderstanding in a private area that got blown out of proportion.

It could also be for the sake of creating a new and unexpected storyline. Fans are used to Percy being the one in danger or getting into trouble. Switching it to Annabeth grabs the readers' attention and makes them wonder how she'll fare in a role that is typically Percy's. It allows for new character development and different relationships to be explored within the fanfic world.

One possible story could be in a fictional setting where a wife decides to seduce her husband in a very elaborate way. For example, she sets up a romantic dinner at home with candles, soft music, and her husband's favorite food. She dresses up in an alluring way and through the evening, she uses her charm and the intimate atmosphere to 'take' his heart all over again, strengthening their bond.

One possibility could be that she was in a location where she thought she had complete privacy, like a secluded beach or a private property, and misjudged the situation. Another reason could be part of some performance art or an attempt to make a statement about body freedom in a very controlled and consensual environment within the story. However, these are still quite extreme in the context of general social norms.

One possible scenario could be a kidnapping situation where she is abducted by criminals for ransom. Another might be if she is wrongly taken by the authorities due to some sort of misidentification. Or it could be in a story where she is forcefully removed from her home by an enemy in a fictional war - like situation.

One reason could be jealousy. A person who is jealous of the wife's happy marriage or her status might try to blackmail her to create chaos in her life.

One reason could be stress. Maybe she has a lot on her plate at work or in her personal life, like taking care of an ill family member, which makes her seem cold.
