How unbearable must this guy's wife have been?

A British man ran away from his home and live in the woods for 10 years -- all because his wife nagged him too much.

Malcolm Applegate, 62, of Birmingham, opened up about his new life -- and his old one -- in a blog entry posted on the Emmaus Greenwich website. Emmaus is a “homeless charity” that gives people a home “for as long as someone needs it and meaningful work in our social enterprise,” according to its website.

Applegate wrote he was a gardener for 25 years and enjoyed his job until he got married. He wrote the more hours he worked, the “angrier” his spouse became.

After he tried to work it out with his wife, Applegate wrote he left without saying anything to anyone. For a decade.

Applegate reported he was happy in his new home and recently got in touch with his sister, who thought he was dead.
