Division of Spousal & Relational Conduct
Case BIC-SRC-4776
Priority: Urgent
| Complainant | Wife |
| Subject | Husband |
| Location | Living room (subject's own home, which he owns, and in which he is sheltered) |
| Date of observation | Saturday, approximately 2:30 PM |
Description of appearance
Subject was observed seated on the sofa in a configuration that can only be described as structurally defeated. He was wearing a T-shirt from an event he did not attend, shorts with a drawstring that had retreated fully into the waistband, and one sock. The other sock's location is unknown. His hair suggested recent sleep but not recent washing. A blanket was involved, but not in a way that indicated intention.
Contributing factors
1. Subject has access to clean clothing. He chose not to use it.
2. Subject has access to a shower. Same.
3. The T-shirt has a small hole near the collar. Subject is aware of the hole. Subject considers the shirt "still good."
4. Subject was eating cereal directly from the box at the time of observation. It was 2:30 PM.
5. Subject appeared content.
Assessment
The subject has managed to look homeless inside a home that he pays a mortgage on. This is a logistically improbable achievement. He has a wardrobe, a laundry system, running water, and a mirror. He has used none of them. The Bureau notes that this condition appears to be voluntary, recurring, and exclusively observed on weekends. It is not a crisis. It is a lifestyle.
Recommendation
None. The Bureau has reviewed comparable cases and found no effective intervention. Subjects in this category are uniformly resistant to feedback and frequently respond with "I'm comfortable." The complainant is advised to adjust expectations on Saturdays.
