Exactly why it shouldn't be allowed, imo. That doesn't provide any evidence related to his actions during this incident.
In that line of thinking, and I am not any legal expert, just asking for personal understanding, if a guy has a history of domestic violence on a few occasions with past girlfriends or spouses and then a year or so down the road ends up taking that a step further and his new wife ends up dying as a result, is the prior domestic violence issue not allowed in the court case?

Is it because prior charges that were dropped aren’t allowed and only prior convictions are?

Yes. Generally there is a statue allowing that evidence in domestic situations. Also, the the victim and accused's history with each other is more probative and relevant than a random past bad act.
