Would you date someone accused of attacking wife (now separated)

[Velvetrevolution]

This sounds a stupid question but would you rule out a second date with someone who had been arrested for attacking their wife? Imprisoned over the weekend but no charges brought. Presumably alleged physical assault, don’t know details.

My ex was abusive and got physical just before we split up. He's no longer drinking and doing drugs. He had some anger management and was medicated with some counselling. He's a much better person these days.

I could never trust him again but he seems to be a good partner for his new girlfriend. I probably wouldn't date anyone accused of being violent.

Most of the women who are brought so low by the violent actions of their partner to the point of having them arrested for abuse are telling the truth. The fact that no charges were brought means nothing, just that the police didn't have any evidence to back up the accusation.

The question to ask yourself is would you be prepared to put yourself in that potentially dangerous situation. I hope you have no kids as it just wouldn't be fair to them. There are plenty fish in the sea and I'd avoid this one like the plague.
