South Salt Lake, Utah -- A man is in stable condition after being stabbed by his wife this morning. Police say the two were arguing over a to-do list.

Police say this is a domestic dispute that went way too far. Now one person is in jail.

At 6:00 this morning, police responded to a domestic dispute call from a home near 3600 South and 700 East. When officers arrived, they found a man who had been stabbed in his upper torso with a steak knife.

Police say the man's wife, 27-year-old Jennifer Melvin, is the one who stabbed him after a confrontation about a to-do list she had created for him earlier that morning.

The victim was transported to an area hospital in serious but stable condition. He has since been released.

Police say this is not the first time they have responded to this address. In fact, they say they have responded to several domestic dispute calls between the couple in the past; however, this was the first one where one of the victims was stabbed.

Jennifer Melvin was arrested and booked on aggravated domestic assault charges. Police say those charges will be screened through the county attorney's office.

Police say there was evidence of physical contact between the couple prior to the stabbing, and they are looking into possible charges against him as well.

Well, now that she has him out of commission I suppose she is just gonna hafta do the to-do list herself.
But they did state that he may be arrested as well. So, apparently he DID get his licks in, maybe BEFORE he was stabbed. In which case I do NOT feel sorry for him.
Now I know those Salt Lake City, Utah types do NOT like divorce. However; for this one I say they make an exception. That is, BEORE one of them kills the other.

Next time he should just do the tasks on the damn list...Really. I haven't gotten stabby about it yet, but sometimes the to-do list is an issue here too. Bad enough I have to MAKE the list, instead of a person just taking their head out of their ass, looking around, and seeing what needs to be done!

The next dispute will end in a death.

It's too bad two adults cannot argue or disagree, without it turning into a domestic violence call.

On a lighter note.
I make to-do lists for myself. They are scattered all over my desk at home and at work, in my pockets and in my truck.
Do I ever read them?
Hell no.

What the hell time do these people get up, that she's already written her husband a to-do list AND had time to fight over it before the cops are called at six o'clock in the MORNING?! Jeezus.

haha! I bet they were fighting all night long.

I just want to say I love you people and your headlines. Getting "stabby" is great. I have added so many useful words to my vocabulary since being here.

Stabby
Cunty
Cunt Punching
Other words and phrases with the word "cunt" in it...

Shiiiiit...I have a to-do list to remind myself to read my to-do list. Then, I usually just throw all the lists away and sit in front of the computer all day.

This, strangely enough, really irritates me.

I have nothing against women, honestly, but this controlling attitude that seems to be growing really needs to stop. I understand that in most cases is a stereotype, but for the women to treat their husbands like children and try to control every aspect of the marriage simply because they have internal reproductive organs is a bit ridiculous.

Whatever happened to equal rights?

Round here they call those 'honey do' lists. Hint: you might want to use those sparingly.

Did she have a list for herself?

Give penis list.
Get mani/pedi.
Nag penis about list not being done.
Stab penis.

Really, if i ever tried to give Jesus a to-do list he would laugh his ass off and then tell me to make sure to get my stuff out of the yard before the bonfire.

OTOH, it's very rare he asks me to do anything. Maybe a load of laundry if I'm running behind and his tightie whitie stash is getting low. If i happen to be cleaning while he's home, and he feels like it, he is welcome to help. But he already works full time, takes care of the lawn, and cooks some of the meals. A guy needs time to chill, maybe watch some porn, masturbate, play PS3, right?

A happy man will not ask me what I do all day while he's gone. Works out well for both of us. And I only stabbed him one time, and it was an accident.

Lame. This whole idea of "honey-do lists" are just ridiculous in my opinion. I would never make a list of things for my husband to do. I simply let him be an adult and do what he feels like doing, and don't nag him about what he doesn't do. I wouldn't want him to give me a list of shit that he wants done. However, if there is something one of us would like the other to do, we kindly ask and the other willingly does it. In fact, we like doing things for eachother.

The cops have never been called to our house for a domestic dispute. In fact, I can't even remember the last fight we had where voices were raised. CPS has never been called to check the welfare of our children, and no one has ever been stabbed. Amazing how that works.

I like living in a home that doesn't have eggshells all over the floor to be walked on. We might not have the cleanest house on the block, but I would bet that we have the happiest one.

I agree with Pretty here...I would never give a man a list of things that need to be done. I've given my kid a chore list but never a man. I just say "would you mind helping me with _____?" Or "would you mind looking at the _____ I can't seem to fix it." But then again, I don't have a husband and nor do I want one. Next time, the bitch should just hire a handy man and pay the bill. Maybe next time, he will be more willing to help once he sees how much it costs to get somebody else to do the work.

Right now I am working full-time and my live-in boyfriend is waiting for his job to begin in October. So, you bet your ass I've given him to-do lists. But only because he's asked me to. He told me he can't remember to do dishes unless it's written down. So I write it down. He still forgets! haha. Ahhh, men. But I don't stab him when I come home. I just nag him enough to make sure it doesn't happen again.
