A yob danced outside court after he was spared jail despite shaving his girlfriend's head and vandalising her home and car.
Owen James Tysoe "completely lost his temper" and screamed "you’re a wh***e, you don’t deserve to live" at his partner.
The woman, who wasn't named in court, woke at 7am to find her 32-year-old spouse standing above her and shaving chunks out of her hair.
The judge heard Tysoe, a former warehouse manager, accused the woman of cheating and then went on to smash up her bedroom TV and kick her door off of its hinges.
He keyed "I love **’s c**k" on the bonnet of her car.
But a judge decided to "give him a chance" at Northampton Crown Court on Thursday and handed him a 12-month community order which includes 30 rehabilitation requirement days. He was also ordered to pay £250 compensation as well as cover court costs.
Addressing Tysoe, His Honour Judge David Herbert KC said: “You completely lost your temper with her.
"You caused her relatively minor injuries although they were unpleasant and frightening as far as she’s concerned.”
He added: “You have a chance now. You can move on and start your new job."
Tysoe, from Raunds, Northamptonshire, terrorised the woman, whom he'd been dating for three years, on January 29. He was convinced she was cheating, the court heard.
The woman was left with minor injuries from where she tried to defend herself when Tysoe was shaving her head.
Tysoe was quickly charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two counts of criminal damage.
He since lost his job, a role which saw him manage around 400 people.
Nathalie Carter, defending, told the court: “This was very out-of-character. He’s lost his very good job as a result.
"Because he was incarcerated they couldn’t hold out that long for him.
"He knew the man she was having an affair with. They flaunted it in his face while his father was dying."
