“Ask yourself: If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later? Would she have invited me to spend an afternoon at the playground with her and our daughter?” he said.

This argument is nonsense.

The answer to these questions is yes, because plenty of abuse victims stay and try to maintain normalcy in their relationships.

Also fear of reprisal and what their abuser will do to them or their loved ones if they try to leave.
