My guess (as we'll never know) is that he was using anabolic steroids to boost his body building which altered his mood to the extent that the jobcentre staff noticed. These steroids can cause paranoia, depression and irritability as well as delusions so he may well have felt bullied and controlled by his wife's seemingly reasonable requests.
//Our judicial system has gone crazy.If the court accepted a not guilty plea, why was she issued with a restraining order.//
Because the courts have the power to issue a restraining order without a conviction if they believe it is appropriate. It is a common disposal in domestic violence cases. The alleged victim does not really want to go through the trauma of a trial and simply wants the perpetrator kept at bay. It is usually done by consent but can be done without agreement provided the restrainee has the opportunity to make representations to the court.
As far as this particular case is concerned it was to be heard in the Crown Court and there is obviously far more to it than the few lines in the Daily Mirror.

The fact she accepted a restraining order in exchange for a not guilty please acceptance and that it went all the way to Crown Court implies to me that there is some solid basis for believing she was controlling. They are now getting divorced and the man, as the victim, maintains that she was incessant and controlling and obviously wanted a restraining order taken out against her, so I don't think it's a trivial thing to be mocked and laughed at. Men who are victims of domestic abuse of all sorts have enough trouble being believed as it is.
Why would physical size make a difference to whether someone can be controlled and coerced though Danny. Being able to control someone is all about personality type, psychology and far subtler things than how someone is built. I think that's a fairly narrow pov tbh. I'm not adverse to a good row ( although Mr Cal is almost 100% non confrontational) but I'd draw the line at being nagged into a pit of misery.
What a strange case......but whatever he says a man having testosterone replacement becomes a grumpy, miserable, geriatric Kevin.....and that is what the Job Centre folk will have witnessed....but they can’t really have informed the police, can they?
And yes, his body does look awful....hard, artificially enhanced muscle?.....No.....a little roll of fat here and there to grab hold of is much more enticing... ;-)

I think it could have quite easily have been ''If it causes B serious alarm or distress which has a substantial adverse effect on their day-to-day activities - s.76 (4) (b)'' Danny.
The truth is none of us are in a position to know but the CPS and Police are, and they chose to deem it serious enough to take to court.
