Which isn't exactly clear from the story. 'ex-wife' is balanced with 'in the midst of divorce proceedings.'
Whatever it is shes well rid of him..
its not clear whether hes a wife beater either...
But it is obvious hes vindictive and violent...
Hes not exactly the victim in this case...
just staying home and getting ddrunk would have been a better life choice..
Yea, that was confusing. Ex implies divorced.
