Isn't one of the things you want your children to learn morals. If your married, presumably you both have oaths to love honor and cherish , when you go stick your dick in the new big titted girl at work or let some one stick it in you, your showing God , your kids , and anyone who sees you your word isn't good for anything. My mother when I was 16 loaded my brother and I into a car one afternoon, and wouldn't say anything turned out we parked on aside street down town and I was really getting freaked , about 10 or15 minutes passed and around the corner came my dads truck, in it was dear old dad and some blond bimbo they parked away from where we were and after 10 minutes of public groping. She got out and staggered to her door my father pulled away from curb , I will never forget the wide eyed shock when he drove by us. , The woman it turned out was the school secretary of my elementary school which I had graduated from nearly 4 years prior. I never, ever forgot that, Andi never had any faith in him again

Good question. I think that they can. Just because they don't get along with or are not compatible with their spouse doesn't mean that they can't be a good parent.
Legally speaking, they are not tied together. I think a cheater who cheats thus destroying the relationship is intentionally putting the children in a single parent household after that.
Now you have to decide if that is a bad thing or not.
Many cheaters still get custody of the kids. As for good parent or not, half and half. What they did is bad but they can still be a good parent as they move past that.
Yes. The two are unrelated. But probably not a good romantic role model when their child gets older.

No. What many people don't real understand is how quickly kids get pulled in the middle and how much they emulate their parents behavior in their own future relationships. Also kids pick up on a hell of a lot more then most parents realize. So a couple might think that the issues in their relationship that cheating create are not effecting their kids if they hid it well enough. But the kid is already in the middle of their issues and is fully aware of what is going on.
In general people need to understand and accept a ugly truth about about relationships. Broken and messed up relationships have a high chance of producing a broken and messed up person, even when the parents think their relationship isn't effecting the kid.Very hard to be a fit parent if someone cheats, a married couple should never cheat because it's a big sin and a bad role model for the kids...
Also there is no need for cheating, if someone is smart enough they will realize that god made marriage so that the couple get what they from each other, a male is a male and a female is a female, a man gets what he wants from his wife and the wife gets what she wants from her husband, no need for cheating at all, also a married couple are considered to be one so hurting the other means hurting himself/herself...I think it's somebody cheats on their partner it's only between them and their partner did you not bring kids into that situation and you do not talk to the kids about what is going on you don't involved them I think they could be a very good parent but it depends on All the Above
Yes. It's absolutely possible for someone to be a terrible partner but an amazing parent. My ex husband is like that. He is an absolute A+ father to our daughter but was an F abusive husband towards me when we were together. He's honestly still sometimes terrible to me.
Yeah they could still be a good parent or just a shity partner because remember people view their kids different than the people that they have the kids with so even if they treat their partner like shit by cheating on them doesn't mean that they're going to necessarily treat their child like shit but they very well could do that also
As someone once said when you cheat you affect all parties. Cheating on the spouse is cheating in the family unit and thus also to your kids. My mother cheated on my father. And i have chsen not to speak to her on over 20 years. I feel nothing for her now. I chose to live with my dad after the divorce.
I definitely think so, he/she may not be a great role model but could be a great caring parent. I actually have a friend who's a womanizer, he cheated on his wife and ended up divorcing her, but he was such an amazing father, always close to his daughter even sleeping on the floor holding her hand when she couldn't sleep, taking her to the park before going to work etc. So yes.
Being a bad partner doesn't make you a bad person. So ya
You can't show loyalty to the person who helped create your child. What makes you think you can be loyal to the child themself. Unless there is a good reason, no.
Yes, they can. I know at least one. She has been a good mother to her children. She has also been a good wife since she has apologized and vowed not to do it again.
Sure. I question their desicion making skills and morality but there are worse parents out there that don't cheat. Child rearing is usually reinforced through biology.
I would say yes, it's different skills and how you deal with kids are not the same as how you deal with lovers. So you can't compare them.
yes I think so, there are many reasons why people cheat, but that doesn't affect the way you are with children,
No. By cheating it shows they're irresponsible, okay with betraying loved ones trust and a willingness to put loved ones health in jeapordy
Yes, you can love your kids and cheat, sadly. But the side effect is your kids will grow up not to trust the opposite sex, which is heart breaking.
It shows a lack of empathy. It shows selfishness. It shows a lack of integrity. It also shows a lack of commitment when things get tough. Those aren’t traits that I’d say are great for parenting.
Yeah. Someone’s ability to be a good parent isn’t conducive to there relationship.. a relationship with a child is so much different than with another adult. It helps if you are pure in character but I don’t think those two are mutually exclusive
No; that individual would be setting a bad example for his/her children, teaching the son how to disrespect women or the daughter how to be a whore and a tramp.
Sure , just cuz things aren’t working out with their partner they can still love their kids
In my opinion a fit parent demonstrates good qualities and leads my example.
