How a potentially triggering theme and a character (who is potrayed as a villain) is an asshole are cons of this volume? Or I do misunderstand the meaning of this big red "minus" icon under the grade?

Well, they gotta put the trigger warnings somewhere, and some people dislike not-so-nice-people. I take it to mean there are zero cons, just plot.

I assume it's more "if you're sensitive to/are triggered by this sort of content this manga won't be for you"

Both harminia and Mongoose are correct - more plot than actual cons, and definitely a content warning for people sensitive to depictions of domestic abuse.

I think the guy being an asshole is kind of a full-out con, if only because he's just so awful that he risks coming off as cartoonish if you're lucky enough never to have encountered someone like him. But yes, mostly a warning; this could be a very difficult read.
