Good Father Vs. Good Husband?

This topic can be confusing, but I understand it now. It came up after my friend and I were talking about the reality show “Gotti’s Way”. Like most men, Gotti appears to be a wonderful father. He provides for his children, spends time with them and plays a significant part in their life, but from the looks of things he does not appear to be a good husband. Now, I’m no judge. This is just my interpretation from the show. It is reality T.V. and I think it is fair to have an opinion. What’s going on? Could we be in love with the fact that our men are good fathers and excuse them from being good husbands??? Think about it….Don’t you have a right to have a good husband, especially if you have to be a wonderful mother and a good wife too. It is his responsibility to provide, so why do we sometimes feel as if it’s a privilege?


I would never tear Gotti’s wife down. I think she is a beautiful, strong and wonderful mother. The question I have is, “Why do we stay?” Why do some people stay in unhealthy relationships?
“If abusive or unhealthy relationships are so bad, then why do some people stay in them? Why don't they just stop spending time with their friend or break up with the person and stop seeing them? Sometimes it may be hard to get out of an abusive relationship. This is because violent relationships often go in cycles. After a person is violent, he or she may apologize and promise never to hurt you again, and even say that they will work on the relationship. It may be a while before that person acts violently again. These ups and downs can make it hard to leave a relationship.”

“It's hard to leave someone you care about. You may be scared or ashamed to admit that you are in an abusive relationship, or you may be simply scared to be alone without that person. You may be afraid that no one will believe you, or that your friend or partner will hurt you more if you tell someone. “

This just came to my mind today and I wanted to know what you think? You do not have to analyze their situation, but what about yours? Does your partner do what he is supposed to do? Does he respect you and your children?

Please stop settling ladies….
