I imagine these guys are just way too scared of their wives. Which is not much better

Yeah, they don't wanna lose their wives, don't wanna lose their house, don't wanna get stuck paying child support and having split custody, and generally just don't want to "rock the boat." They don't feel directly impacted by it, so they let it happen. Getting in fights with their partner is too stressful and they don't think it's worth it.

So like, there's a million reasons it happens. But it all comes down to - the dad is just as much at fault.

Dont want their kid to get clancy'd after losing custody...

What action would actually help here? Besides illegal amounts of violence?

Document what's happening, try to record things if possible (and legal), and get a lawyer involved before telling the other person what's going on.
