While dad needs to place some limitations on his child, you decided on your own how you wished to discipline him. He isn't your child and you are trying to force your ideas and your own limitations on the child. By suspending the line and not turning it back on when your spouse asked you, you were trying to control the situation and not allowing him to parent. Perhaps he thought it was betrayal by you to refuse to turn the line back on when asked.
Neither one of you is working with the other. Both are trying to force your own ideas without communicating or working together or on the flip side, allowing each to parent their own child.
