Wife charged with harassing husband during a night out
There is definitely such a thing as calling your partner too many times when they are out with friends.
We know how some couples can be when it comes to their partners having a night out with their friends.
Stereotypically, women have been painted with a negative colour palette when it comes their partners going out with the boys.
One woman fed into the stereotype and is now sitting with a conviction.
"Joanne Healey, 59, demanded to know where husband Steve, 60, was while he was watching Chelsea versus Manchester United on television." (BBC)
It seems things got out of hand when Healey continuously began calling her husband while he was at the Ashworth home watching a football game.
"In the days before the game, the court heard that Joanne Healey had had a disagreement with Mrs Ashworth and had been abusive to her over text messages, social media and calls." (BBC)
This seems to have been what set off the harassment, because Healey is said to have called Mrs Ashworth's home phone almost 60 times in two hours.
Things went sideways when Healey continued calling even after reaching her husband.
According to Mrs Ashworth, Healey called her husband to enquire when he would be home and demanded that he bring their dog home. Her husband, Steve, agreed, but then she continued calling.
When her husband stopped answering her calls, she began ringing the Ashworth's home phone.

"Mrs Ashworth said she had told Healey to stop calling several times but that her reaction was "drunken abuse, shouting and swearing".
"She even accused me of having an affair with her husband Steve - which is a lot of rubbish," she said." (BBC)
Healey was arrested and was sentenced to a 12-month community order and fined £80 (R1,813). She was also ordered to attend 20 days of rehab and pay "£234 (R5300.00) in costs and victim surcharge".
It seems that being petty can easily transgress into crazy and bizarre when you are angry.
