'Nagging Wife' arrested for controlling behaviour

There are people who control in an abusive way among both sexes, unlike violence I think its not heavily weighted one way. I think nagging is the wrong word for it but I am sure that is how people often talk about it.

I'm not sure the law can really deal with that sort of thing though.

I feel there’s more to the article than meets the eye. My neighbours have a relationship that I feel borders on abusive. She’s constantly shouting at him for minor things and although he works full time, every minute he’s at home he’s gardening, cleaning or doing DIY. Poor guy is in his 60s and looks exhausted.

I can imagine it’s incredibly difficult to get this kind of case anywhere near a court and the fact it got this far shows that her behaviour was being taken very seriously.

coercive control laws can be used to arrest women who won't put up with lazy, self-obsessed husbands.

K.

Then we start supporting women to line up ducks and LTB at high speed. While also supporting women to not bother getting involved with lazy, self obsessed males in the first place. The rate of women willing to sign up for this shit is dropping annually.

Which is what pissed the incels off to start with, and pushed the incel thinking behind the mis use of this law.

*Valerie Sanders, 58, said that she begged her bodybuilder husband Michael, also 58, to clean the patio doors, hoover their home and workout less as well as stop shopping at Aldi or Lidl.

She also claims that he took steroids - killing their sex life - and couldn't bear to touch his muscly body saying: 'It was like cuddling an ironing board'.*

So she was potentially controlling him.....who knows if the demands to do housework were reasonable or controlling, the type where the victim is required to clean for hours on end.

She also complained about no sex and hating his body, if a man badgered a woman for sex it would be seen as abuse.

The jobcentre noticed he was growing more depressed and got him support, sounds like they have a protocol for recognising when someone is vulnerable which can only be a good thing.

The fact she has a restraining order against her for 2 years shows she has done wrong, even if it could not be proved criminally.

Jeez, seriously worrying that coercive control laws can be used to arrest women who won't put up with lazy, self-obsessed husbands.

I thought it was to make people feel bad about not working enough, not to make people feel better about going to work.

"In 2018 Jobcentre staff called in the police after 16st Mr Sanders, a former prison officer who was made redundant but started working in a gym, said he felt low and he blamed his home life during a routine check on his new job".

Really? Job centre staff do that kind of thing? What is their remit exactly?

Using the word nagging, wasn't helpful (even though she used it herself), but she may well have been controlling.
Anyway, the case collapsed.
And what has it being Yorkshire got to do with anything?

We have a family joke that nagging is when someone has to repeat a reasonable request (because they're being ignored).

Hopefully there was more to it. But I was concerned to see an information poster about the coercive control offence, which showed a woman texting her boyfriend repeatedly. I think it’s quite unhelpful to use that as the typical case. I am sure many women can be controlling but it seems that the offence has tended to be defined as ‘nagging’ when that’s not what was intended when it was created.

I do feel repeatedly mentioning his weight detracted from the article.

Being controlled is nothing to do with your weight or size.

Is this the modern version of the device to stop nagging wives?
