Algerian Ahmed Salhi, 24, was sentenced to a nine month curfew at home with his Italian wife in Ferrara, northern Italy. But he went back to court after a week and begged the judge to jail him because he could not bear her nagging. Salhi was sentenced to nine months house arrest after breaching immigration regulations. But he turned up at his local courtroom and begged to be taken into custody because he said he could no longer stand living with her, and would rather be behind bars, Corriere della Sera reported. He said: “I need some peace.” A local court agreed to the Salhi’s request and he has been jailed for the rest of his sentence. Source: Ananova |

Husband On Strike Message from James: President of The National Association of Desperate Husbands. Even though our two month old daughter refuses to sleep without my wife holding her, and my two year son won’t even attempt to sleep without his pacifier, my wife still refuses to take my advice about how to fix these problems before they start to bring even more stress into our marriage. After begging and pleading with my wife (because I adore and love her dearly) to stop spoiling our children and ignoring my feelings, I’ve decided enough is enough. So I went on strike — and moved to the roof of our home. This is my last-ditch effort!Now, I have absolutely no intentions on making my wife out to be some bad parent. My wife is a great mom, I just feel she’s going about a few things the wrong way. I don’t want our marriage to suffer. I’m on strike from all things marriage related when I’m on the roof, in the backyard or living in the garage. I’m asking people from all over the world to Sign my petition and then pass this site around to all your friends. My goal is to also send a message to wives everywhere that:”Husbands have feeling too”. |

At least, that’s what James Wilson of Redford, Mich., did. Wilson says his wife, Valentina, is ignoring him and spoiling the kids by letting them stay in the couples’ quarters at night, KEYE-TV reports. “I’m going on strike against my wife because she refuses to remove the children from our bedroom,” Wilson said. Though he admits that Valentina is a wonderful mother, he says wants more … ahem … alone time with her. “I’m speaking on behalf of all of the husbands in this nation that suffer in silence. I plan to be a voice for those husbands that men, we all want that time alone with [our] wives, that’s extremely important,” Wilson said. But Wilson knew that a little peaceful protest on his roof wouldn’t exactly motivate the masses to relate to his plight. He’s started a blog, Husband-on-Strike.com, where people can go and sign a petition requesting that his wife immediately boot the babies from the boudoir. But don’t expect Valentina to cry any sweet tears of sympathy for her husband any time soon. “You know what? He’ll live,” she said. |

They want to be told the truth, but they don't want to EVER be criticized. Oh, and did I mention that compliments and agreeableness tend to be perceived as disingenuous over time (even if they aren't)? Well, it's true. They want you to anticipate their every need and emotion, and act or react accordingly, when simple verbal communication would be all that's needed to render the situation satisfactory. |

Most of the children in most of the world sleep in the "family bed". The birds don`t kick the baby bird out till its ready to fly. We banish the little child out to their lonesome self. The only reason why? so the guy can stick his dick into her any time the ugre strikes him. You can wait till they fall asleep.

It's possible that she's using the kids as an excuse to not be intimate with her husband, and imo, using kids as tools for whatever reason is selfish as well as foolish. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 39667 ![]() 03/31/2006 03:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This man sounds like a spoilt brat himself. He and his wife have two infants, one has just arrived (3 months old - she's still settling in and needing LOTS of attention) whilst the other is only 2 years old and feeling inarticulately insecure, thus needing the love and understanding of BOTH parents. So, he's having a tantrum because he hasn't had a peaceful bedroom-a-deux for 3 months? It doesn't bode well for these kids' futures - how's he going to handle the innumerable interruptions to his life as they get older? You know, the endless parents' evenings at schools, the interminable waiting around at kids' extra-curricular activities, the non-stop mom-and-dad taxi service, having the house full of kids' friends during sleepovers, the trips to the emergency room following 'routine' childhood and teen accidents and consequent sleepless nights spent administering medication, comfort and reassurance, endless evenings spent in helping kids with homework - and, OMIGOD, there's also the inevitable and horribly hormonal teens to go through... Grow up, guy, and get with the parenting programme. |

Everything is A-OK, as long as it was HER WAY each and every time (including the kids NEVER having to do any chores and NEVER having to clean their rooms - oldest daughter went from 8 to 19 without her room ever being cleaned ONCE!!) The young baby in the bed may be OK - part of the time - ... but time to move that 2 YO out. This guy is married to a woman who is stubborn to an marriage busting degree. They WILL eventually divorce, and he will be better off for it (except for the money side). |

Anon User ID: 77123 ![]() 04/03/2006 09:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We all know about post partun depression, hormonal imbalances, "estrogen charged" insecurities, etc. Now a days, it's OK to acknowledge these problems, ... more important to get help for them. It not fair to use the children as a shield ... not fair to the children and their development of self esteem, not fair to the wife who MAY be in denial, not fair to the husband who signed up for a lifetime of MUTUAL love respect and understanding. Lack of COMMUNICATION and lack of GENUINE ACTION can be fertile ground for the seeds of marital discontent. Let's get real, we are the higher species. Our children can develop a sense of security and self esteen WITHOUT being under their mother's nose (or beek) 24/7. It happens all the time (well, obviously not all the time, case in point) but frequently enough for everyone to know that it is possible. Now, the 3 MO MIGHT be a little young to be sleeping in the nursery by herself, but a crib in the bedroom does make sense. The 2 YO is pushing the envelope. Now approaching 3 YO, he is old enough to begin learning independence, self security and self reliance. Keeping him "protected" (A.K.A. smothered) much longer may be counterproductive. Who recommends keeping him there until he is on the JV basketball team? We have raised five of our own (and more than a few others) so we do have a little experience in these matters. |

Itiba Cahubaba User ID: 76975 ![]() 04/03/2006 11:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He needs to get over himself and find another way to have intimacy with his wife. Just because our daughter slept on our bed it didn't mean that my husband and I didn't get it on. Heck, we were like jack rabbits and it was more fun 'cause it was like sneaking around and we're still sneaking around now that she's much older. HEHEHE. We like to "gross her out" by kissing or hugging once in a while in front of her. It's hilarious, then again, I used to think my parents were weird too. The boy needs to use his imagination, we sure do over here. She could also opt to sleep in their room until they fall asleep, but a 2 year should not be left to sleep with a 3 month old. The child could get smothered because the 2 yr. old won't have the same nuturing instinct a mother has. I think it's cruel and inhumane to leave a child alone when they're not ready or easy to coax to go on their own. He definitely shouldn't have anymore children. How fair is that that a grown man must sleep with his wife, but the young children can't. |
BLUE DOLPHIN NLI User ID: 38747 ![]() 04/03/2006 12:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What Itaba said ![]() Infants are SUPPOSED to sleep near the Mother,particularly if she is being breastfed, they need to eat ALOT because they are growing >>>> And absolutely the 2 yr old can't be left alone with the Infant.... These children can eventually be eased into a more independent state, but NOT at this stage of the game !! Having little children requires certain sacrifices and adjustments.... these kids are *BABIES* not even close to school age yet, the Poster who likened this to a 15 yr old sleeping with the parent is way off base..! It sounds like the Father is the one with the imbalanced expectations... If the children are forced into isolation it can cause emotional issues later in life... They are STILL young enough to warrant staying in close proximity to the Mama... if Poppy doesn't like it he needs to READ A BOOK on the subject, get some insight , and GROW UP !! ![]() That's my 5 cents on the subject ! ![]() |

From that point I told my wife I would be sleeping on the couch till the kids slept in their own beds no exceptions. She fixed the problem. |
Itiba Cahubaba User ID: 76975 ![]() 04/03/2006 12:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 26153 - LOL. I don't know why, but I swore there must have been a homing beacon on my husband's jewels because she was always on target to kick him there. He too ended up sleeping on the couch - and we fooled around on it too. ![]() The family bed was a matter of necessity. Infants require a lot of attention and the only way I was going to get some sleep was to nurse her in bed. My husband needed to be refreshed to go to work the next day. I can't have a husband who takes days off because he was too tired to go to work. I never let him do any of the baby duties during the day or night, he was in charge of shopping and cleaning until I felt well enough to do it on my own with an infant in arms. What mattered most was that we both got sleep otherwise we'd be crabby the next day. There are ways to get around the sex issue. ![]() |
