Nope, seems a bit wrong to me. I just don’t see that behavior in this interchange.
No one has alleged he’s that type of asshole, so I see no reason to assume he is. Not every period of silence is the “silent treatment”, and responding after someone apologized isn’t the same as not responding until they apologized.
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.

He routinely drives drunk and has had multiple affairs.
But he’s not that type of asshole?
That’s certainly what I said isn’t it?
Do you have any reason to believe he’s the emotionally abusive type of asshole?
Doing something wrong doesn’t mean everything they do is wrong.
Hell, we have more evidence for him being the victim of abuse than the perpetrator.
HIs multiple extramarital affairs? You don’t consider cheating over and over again to be emotional abuse?
Oh we do? What are you referencing?
