Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

Just curious. What are your views?

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

No..

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

no

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

A bad husband shouldn't have a chance to be a FATHER. Let alone a good or a bad one.
In case its too late to prevent a 'bad husband' from being a father then depends on wht kinda 'bad' he is.
So no, a bad husband isn't necessarily a bad father but, not necessarily a good father either. Differs from husband to husband.

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

A man can be a terrible husband, but a decent father....however.....being a bad husband still effects the children. It's not something that can also be seen right away, however, children who grow up seeing their father be a bad husband often deal with the repercussions for the rest of their lives, especially in adulthood/their own marriages.

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

So in-brief, bad father.

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

No.

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

Yep. Guess who mom is gonna rant to about him being a bad husband? The kids. That puts the kids in a weird predicament, forcing them to choose sides or just become indifferent to their parents problems and lives. Neither of which is healthy for their emotional well-being.

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

You saying bad father in kids' perception, although he might be actually a good father material?

saeedinpak... maybe only in pak... no...maybe only in your circle.

dont generalize chacha .

OP... its a gray area. lots of ifs and buts... each case being diff. no straight answer. just focus on being a good human being, rest will follow. all the best!

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

see, what i was thinkng was. a guy may be a bad husband, so wife get divorced. Now in 99% of cases, she get teh custody. But the kids lose a father. Now is it possible that the kids lost opportunity of having a good father, just bcoz he was a bad husband?? You get my point? No?

I feel like monk today :(

"Bad husband" is mostly a perspective. From his PoV, he might have a "bad wife".

"Bad father" is more objective because it's a result of his parenting style, which is very measurable based on the norms and standards set by society.

Both are two different things.

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

even in the amicable divorces kids still go into the custody of only one parent. as you said 90% cases, i dont think 99%, so kids get to suffer anyways whether father was a bad husband or not. and such father will only pass on his rotten set of values to the next gen.

Re: Is a bad husband necessarily a bad father?

its all about perception (most of the time)
