Wifely Expectations

I had heard about this a while ago, but didn't get a chance to read it until today. Here's a part of the blurb from The Smoking Gun:
FEBRUARY 17--This country, as you know, is filled with the deranged. And then there's Travis Frey, a 33-year-old Iowa man who is facing charges that he tried to kidnap his own wife (not to mention a separate child pornography rap). Frey, prosecutors contend, apparently is a rather demanding guy. In fact, he actually drew up a bizarre four-page marriage document--a "Contract of Wifely Expectations"--that sought to establish guidelines for his spouse in terms of hygiene, clothing, and sexual activities.
It's pretty pathetic, but here's a scan of the contract. Nice font, too. Fair warning - it's not explicit really, but will probably make you feel unclean.

holy crap. I can't get past the hygiene / self care section. That guy is a jackass.

wow - My comment hopped up there in front of Zerodoll's! I'm just that cool.

Yeah, B*, be glad you didn't get to the part where he explains how by shaving properly, his wife can get the authority to not obey his every whim for a day. Except the sleeping nude bit. Yeesh.

What just occurred to me is how ridiculous that thing is in the sense of, even had he not kidnapped her, not been into kiddie porn, and she had signed it, I doubt it would EVER hold up in a court of law if he tried to sue her for breach of contract. Oh, wait, he wouldn't sue; he'd just kidnap. Nevermind.

Yeah, kidnapping does seem to be his trump card. Good thing incarceration trumps kidnapping
