46. If anyone still needs proof that toxic masculinity is a real phenomenon

And not just a concept dreamed up by woke liberals to punish men, this is it.

He messaged her to ask her to drop charges against him, warning her that he might, “miss out on the children’s lives.”

I don't know about you, but I don't think he deserves to be in his children's lives after this incident. This is just another tactic abusers use to emotionally manipulate their victims, and I hope his wife sees it for what it is.
