Japanese Man Arrested After Calling His Wife Over 100 Times a Day in Bizarre ‘Act of Love’

A 38-year-old man in Amagasaki, Japan, was recently arrested for harassing his wife by making over 100 anonymous phone calls per day. The harassment went on for several weeks, with the man hiding his number, leaving his wife frustrated with the incessant silent calls. Suspicion arose when she realized that her phone remained quiet while her husband played video games. After contacting the police, evidence pointed to her husband as the culprit. He justified his actions, claiming he was simply expressing his love by repeatedly calling her without speaking.

The couple, who lived together, found themselves in this unusual situation, which police in Amagasaki confirmed was the first case of phone stalking between spouses in the same household. The man was promptly arrested for stalking and harassment, leaving many shocked by his reasoning.

While the concept of married couples living apart due to work isn’t uncommon in Japan, cases like this one illustrate how jealousy can manifest in unusual ways, even when couples share the same home.

Had to read the article. He kept calling anonymously.

That is not an act of love - it is an addiction, most likely anxiety-based.
