If asked I'm sure most men don't have a clue why their wife/girlfriend/partner is upset. And I would bet they don't think they are the problem in their relationships, but sometimes you just never really know. Take this story for example. Was he being over demanding? Did he push his wife to her limit? Was this the straw that broke the camel's back? What do you think?A woman who was angry because her husband wanted her to turn up the heat pulled out a gun and shot their flat-screen TV while he cowered behind a pillow, Macomb County authorities say.
The 65-year-old man called 911 Sunday night from the basement of their Washington Township home, about 25 miles north of Detroit.
"My wife's got a gun. She's shooting at me," Joseph Grucz said in the recorded call.
He told the operator that Cheryl Grucz, 61, was angry because he wanted the heat turned up. She fired a round while he hid his head in a pillow, striking the plasma TV, then went upstairs, the Detroit Free Press said.
"She's all excited about it because she's so cheap," the husband said.
His wife, who had picked up another extension, told the operator she wanted to tell her side.
"I'm not going to hurt him. He has pushed me over the edge, that was all," Cheryl Grucz said, according to a recording obtained by WXYZ-TV. "He has had a stroke, and he's taking it all out on me."
"No I'm not," her husband said.
"Yes, he is," she told the dispatcher.
Cheryl Grucz was arraigned Monday in Romeo District Court on a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, a charge with a top penalty of 10 years in prison. She also faces a felony firearms charge. Grucz was freed on $50,000 bond until a preliminary examination Jan. 15.
The judge also ordered her to enroll in a domestic violence program, WDIV-TV said.

I'm just surprised that she was pissed that he wanted to put the heat up. My experience is that women ususally bitch that it's too cold, while men seem quite happy with lower temperatures. should she go to jail? No. But I'd get that gun out of the house before she decides to show him the hard way why he should take the goddamn trash out now.
Gloria Steinem once said the reason men didn't want women in the military is because they didn't want overworked, under paid, secretaries to learn how to shoot a gun! ha

I'll play devil's advocate a moment...He's had a stroke, so he's parked on the couch in front of a big screen blaring blather, and making her play fetch.
The tension mounts, until finally Mr. S & W asks to come out of the sock drawer to play.
All the stories consistently mention the pillow cower and only one shot, so he knew she was packing and had time to duck.
Elvising the TV hurt Poppy more than a round in the keister, I reckon.
I don't think she should go to jail, but some personal discipline in firearms training might help.
