spouse

Alvin Pratt thought he was supporting his wife, Donna, in her effort to lose 75 pounds by "gently" calling it to her attention every time she exceeded her daily food goals or otherwise fell short of the objectives she had established for herself. He was sure he was helping by pointing out areas of improvement.

To the surprise of few who have found themselves in similar situations, Donna's opinion of her husband's "assistance" was far from glowing - in fact, she called it harassment.
