Absolutely, because they are different types of relationships.. A father can always be there for his kids, teach them the ways he thinks they should go, always have their backs, and be tender and loving. Then at the same time have problems with his rel with his wife.. It's why a lot of parents stay married until their kids are grown and then get a divorce.. Their relationship made have fallen with each other, but not with their kids..
Never understand why this is so difficult for women. The roles of being a husband and father are completely different for starters your children are yours and will be loved unconditionally. A wife is just a women you've committed to and is going to be treated Contingent on how she acts.
Yeah.. It is sad but true. When a man no longer loves a woman he might treat her badly or just normally (which is bad in a marriage) but still love and support his children with everything in him
I don't think so tbh. A good father will show love and respect towards their baby mama regardless if they are married or just comparenting. Without doing that the dad isn't showing his childern what a healthy relationship looks like.
@JHAYES317 she deserve basic respect because she's the mother of his child. Some people now a days have some backwards thinking that respect has to be earned but the truth is respectable people will give it to everyone
There’s a difference between respecting someone and simply not acting like a jerk. There’s a lot of people I wouldn’t respect that I wouldn’t be mean to
Alright fine that level of respect I’d give to practically anybody, but actual deeper respect in terms of valuing who someone is as a person, that doesn’t have to be earned persay, but it can be lost
To consistently be any kind of person requires having no one but oneself deciding how one will be. Otherwise, the world around will decide, largely on accident, and will never be consistent.
Absolutely! Sometimes children are the only thing that holds relationships together. A man can definitely be a great father but terrible husband in multiple ways.
Yes anyone can be a horrible partner but good parent. doesn't mean they are someone the kid should look up to. But the kid should definitely still be allowed to see them
It is possible , yes. But I don t think it s a normal thing, although. Husbands should both good husbands and wonderful fathers. As women should be too.
As a general rule, it’s not impossible. I do think however staying in a dysfunctional marriage and having a loveless, conflict filled, toxic environment is more damaging than just leaving that spouse.
My brother was a horrible husband, a horrible man, and a great father. It's possible. My nephew, when asked by his mother what he knew about relationships told her he learned everything he knew from his daddy... she was shocked... he told her that anything his daddy did, he wouldn't
"Do you think a man can be a bad husband but a very good father?"
Yes, the same way a bad wife can be a good mother, - but there are no absolutes - they can suck at being wife/husband but excel at being mother/father.

Not necessarily…if the baby mama cheated on him or something…she doesn’t deserve respect
@JHAYES317 she deserve basic respect because she's the mother of his child. Some people now a days have some backwards thinking that respect has to be earned but the truth is respectable people will give it to everyone
Nah respect does have to be earned…if someone is a bad person and hasn’t expressed remorse for their actions, they don’t deserve respect
@JHAYES317 obviously respect isn't earned because most of us can walk down a street full of strangers and be respectful to all of them
There’s a difference between respecting someone and simply not acting like a jerk. There’s a lot of people I wouldn’t respect that I wouldn’t be mean to
@JHAYES317 you are still giving them respect on a basic level by not being mean to them
Alright fine that level of respect I’d give to practically anybody, but actual deeper respect in terms of valuing who someone is as a person, that doesn’t have to be earned persay, but it can be lost

Yep, he can
I have already seen cases like this
My brother was a horrible husband, a horrible man, and a great father. It's possible. My nephew, when asked by his mother what he knew about relationships told her he learned everything he knew from his daddy... she was shocked... he told her that anything his daddy did, he wouldn't
I don't know.. people can be nice people but horrible to their spouse its just how some people are.
i don't think so. To be a bad husand but a good father means that he likes one more than the other, so is love is not unconditional. :c
A man can hate his wife/lover and still love his kid more than anything. So yes, it is possible.
"Do you think a man can be a bad husband but a very good father?"
Yes, the same way a bad wife can be a good mother, - but there are no absolutes - they can suck at being wife/husband but excel at being mother/father.
Some bad husbands are such good fathers that they'll have two family's on different sides of town.
In some ways, a father is only as good as the example he sets.
Yes.
In fact, I personally know a few guys who are like that.
I've seen that in some cases yeah but I've seen more men who are both great husbands and great fathers.
Absolutely possible. Relationship dynamics are very different between children and partners.
