    Do you have any reason to believe he’s the emotionally abusive type of asshole?

    HIs multiple extramarital affairs? You don’t consider cheating over and over again to be emotional abuse?

    Hell, we have more evidence for him being the victim of abuse than the perpetrator.

    Oh we do? What are you referencing?

      Extramarital affairs are bad, but they’re not the same as punishing someone for a joke you don’t appreciate. And not responding to a text with a joke you didn’t find funny is only dubiously that.
      Infidelity can be abusive if used as a tool of power, control, or harm. Not all hurtful or disrespectful acts are intrinsically abusive.

      I take it you weren’t paying much attention during the whole thing?

      Tldr: initial reports indicated that she hit his car and attacked him with a golf club before the crash. Police stated alcohol didn’t play a role in the crash. He denied any claims of domestic violence and says she smashed both of his back windows to help him out of the car.
