Heh, I had a long discussion about this whole thing a few days ago and even though I find a lot of the details in the contract pretty absurd/unreasonable (it reads more like a D/s fantasy story than an actual useful/useable contract), it's really hard to tell just what went on in this relationship (was the guy just flat out crazy, did he lose it slowly after they were married, or was ther some element of consensual D/s involved before he took it too far, etc...).
IMO the whole thing (especially now knowing they were married 9 years) feels a lot like a D/s relationship that went wrong more so than a psycho completely unleashing his fantasies on an unsuspecting wife. I also wonder about the authenticity of the contract since neither person signed it so there's no real way of knowing who produced it or why and assuming this thing goes to divorce/custody proceedings it would really screw the husband's chances of having anything to do with their kids for a long long time. There is a pretty good motive for someone other than the husband to create the "contract" and wave it around in front of the news during an ongoing trial and effectively try him in the court of public opinion.
