"Sleeping in the doghouse" refers to the figurative fate of a spouse, usually a husband, who has offended their partner or made a significant mistake. The error is so egregious that, instead of being relegated to the couch for the night, the guilty spouse should be forced to spend the night outside in the cold, damp confines of the doghouse, a fit punishment for his "crime."
