Me first by myself

Travis Frey, a 33-year-old Iowa man, is facing charges that he tried to kidnap his wife. She has provided to prosecutors the “Contract of Wifely Expectations” he asked her to sign. She didn’t sign it . . . and yet, jeez, she still married the guy. When someone opens up his heart to you like this and shows you the maggots inside, don’t you, um, think twice about saying, “I do”?

When we are at home , and alone as a family, you will be naked within 20 minutes of the kids being in bed, and then sleep naked, unless instructed otherwise. If I am not home when the kids go to bed you are still to be naked before I return home. The only exception will be during your menstrual cycle.

This is a man whose marriage manual is Pauline Reage’s The Story of O. How soon before he insists on branding her?

During my time, you WILL —

1. Be submissive, subservient, and totally obedient.

2. To do what you are asked, when you are asked, exactly how you are asked.

3. . . .

There’s more. Much more.

What would you put in your marriage contract?

Hat tip to Daily Kos.

    daily KOS? I had that dude posted on my site HOURS before them. HOURS I tell you.

    Yeah, and I’ll bet mister “be naked in 20 minutes or else” man does NOT know how to make basil-anchovy-kalamata pesto. Loser.

    Sorry, Kate! I’m in the OR at the moment. All I ever have time to check is Daily Kos and HuffPo. Props to Kate, everyone . . . and I’m on my way.

    Blue Gal, he may not know how to make a good pesto, but I’d bet he knows how to make poopie undies! And, dollars to donuts, a guy like this is a physical abuser, too, don’t you think? So I’d guess he knows how to make bruises.

    The Smoking Gun rocks. So does Fark, which is where I saw this initially.

  6. Blue Gal says:

    I think you’re probably right, Walnuts. Sad that there are women who will take that shit.

  7. Kate says:

    I saw it at smoking gun. It was on their front page…

  8. Walnut says:

    Looks like I’m gonna have to start reading The Smoking Gun.

    I wonder what a steady diet of subservience would feel like, from the guy’s POV. Wouldn’t you start hating the woman after a while? (And don’t you suppose he hates her in the first place, to propose something like this?)

    But an occasional, “Do anything you want, anything,” out of the blue, just as a surprise . . . that would be a heavenly gift.

    Well, she kept the contract and gave it as evidence, so she wasn’t That stupid.

    I think my husband asked me once to roll the toothpaste tube up from the bottom.
    He never gave me another order again…

    LOLOL

    Is he missing some important bits now? 😉

    Marriage contract? I think mine says something like “if you put up with me, I’ll put up with you.”

    Or something like that. What a nutbar.

    Karen and I only had to take one vow at our wedding. Buddhist wedding, BTW. Karen had to promise to be a good wife, and I had to promise to be a good husband. The Buddhists are grown up enough to figure out that those vows are sufficient.

  13. PBW says:

    I won’t marry men any more. They cost too much. As for vows, I like watching other people make them. It’s pretty, romantic and I don’t have to pay for what happens when they’re broken.
