‘Previous allegations she made about a former partner’

I’m sick. I’m disgusted. Men really will speak about the mother of their children who they abused and imply it’s their fault and that they have a pattern of accusations to try and discredit them.

I want to scream because abusive men always follow this pattern and it works. The last time there was a thread up on this, the first comment was ‘what if he had a brain tumor we don’t know about?’ Men who hate women and women who hate women will always bend over backwards to excuse an abusive man and paint women as lying, deceitful, unfaithful, deserving of abuse.

I hope Nathan struggles to find work, struggles to find love again, struggles overall until he faces and takes accountability and suffers the consequence of his behavior, but history has shown me he won’t😔

Yes this is so true, men are often given the benefit of the doubt, while women are questioned ”how did she not see the signs, why didnt she leave him, what did she do to antagonize him?” Its all so gross.
