A ‘nagging’ wife was arrested and jailed for 17 hours after her husband reported her to the police for ‘controlling behavior.
’
According to the reports, 58-year-old Valerie Sanders felt upset because her gym-obsessed husband was constantly working out but not helping with the chores at home.
In addition, the wife complained that Michael, also 58, had been taking steroids which ruined their sex life.
“It was like cuddling an ironing board,” Valerie said of her husband’s muscular body before adding that he refused to clean the house and stop by the store to do the shopping.
Thinking that nothing else could go wrong, Valerie was in for a big surprise when her husband called cops on her and got her arrested for ‘controlling behavior.’
While her case got dismissed, Valerie was forced to spend 17 hours in jail before being released. She has also issued a two-year restraining order.
Following the incident, the mum-of-two slammed the charges and expressed her outrage over the fact that she was being “treated like a criminal” simply for requesting her partner to do more cleaning and go to the gym less.
“These laws were brought in to help protect vulnerable people who are suffering in relationships – not to prosecute nagging wives. It’s outrageous this ever got to court,” Valerie said.
As for her husband’s side of the story, Mr. Sanders claimed he became depressed shortly after the two got married because he “couldn’t cope anymore with the constant nagging.”
Allegedly, his wife kept on telling him what to do and complained because he was resorting to the gym to get away from her nagging.
Fortunately for both sides of the couple, they are now in the process of finalizing their divorce.
