A businessman hounded his 'on-off' lover with calls and texts after he became violent towards her.
Richard Bremner, 45, bombarded the woman's phone between November 2025 and August 2026.
Bremner, of Glasgow's Partick, initially pushed his victim to the ground after a dispute over car keys.
He went on to contact her, which included from a withheld number, to hurl abuse as well as a sexual remark.
Crazed Bremner also threw a TV stand at her amid "fears" from the woman that his behaviour would "escalate."

The dad-of-three has been in the industry for over 23 years and has previously appeared at the Ideal Home Show at the SEC.
Shamed Bremner pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assault, behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and breach of bail conditions.
The court heard that the pair had been in an "on-off relationship" for a year-and-a-half.
On August 14 2025, Bremner contacted the woman and asked to meet with her at a bar.
He later requested a hug from her and she refused.
Prosecutor Regan Wallace said: "Bremner grabbed her car keys and ran out of the bar.
"The woman chased after him and Bremner threw the keys in a nearby bush."
The woman was unable to locate her keys and walked home.
Bremner later told the woman through a friend that he had the keys and asked to meet her to return them.
After giving the keys back, Bremner initially walked away before he returned and became violent.
Mr Wallace said: "Bremner threw her to the ground, removed the key from her and left.
"Bremner struck a shutter with his hand as he left, threw the keys at her and left again."
The matter was later reported to the police by the woman.
On November 21 2025, Bremner left the woman four voicemails which were "aggressive in nature."
Mr Wallace said: "He shouted, swore and uttered derogatory remarks at her."
She went on to receive a call from a withheld number which included a sexual remark.
Some of the call said: "I don't love you and this is from the bottom of my heart... you are a f*** ing dog, get out of my life, skank."
The woman received a further voicemail in which Bremner asked to speak to her.

In April 2026, Bremner contacted the woman repeatedly and due to fear of escalation, she agreed to meet with him at her home.
Mr Wallace said: "Bremner became threatening and abusive, shouting and swearing. She requested that he leave.
"Bremner picked up a TV stand from the common close outside her door and threw it in her direction, causing it to strike a wall.
"The woman shouted at Bremner and said that she would call the police."
Officers were initially unable to trace Bremner but was later cautioned and charged on May 5 at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
In August this year, Bremner left a note on the woman's windscreen which said: "Meet me, no phones" which was captured on CCTV.
The woman later received calls from Bremner who wished to "discuss ongoing matters."
The woman went to the police in September and while talking to officers, she received a call from Bremner.
He said: "Why are you not looking at your messages?"
She replied: "Why are you messaging me from another number, asking where I live?"
Bremner: "We can discuss that another day."
The woman: "No we can't, Richie."
Bremner was arrested again.
Ian Sievwright, defending, told the sentencing: "He fully accepts the relationship, whatever it was, is well and truly over.
"His business is very different to her business and there is no reason for their businesses to cross over.
"He works for his own very successful kitchen and bathroom fitting company in Glasgow who employed 28 people."
Sheriff Mark McGuire tagged Bremner for 80 days, keeping him indoors between 8pm and 6am.
He was also given 135 hours of unpaid work, fined £420 and put under supervision for 12 months.
A five-year non-harassment order was granted prohibiting Bremner from contacting his victim in any way.
The sheriff told Bremner that the sentence is a "direct alternative to custody."
