The Rotten Spouse Theorem, Bryan Caplan | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty: "Even after a bitter divorce, people often pay their ex a compliment: "He was a bad husband, but he's always been a good father" or "She was a bad wife, but she's always been a good mother." Gracious, yes. But accurate? Hard to see how.
A family isn't a set of independent relationships. They're all connected. Damaging one foreseeably damages the other. This is particularly obvious when parents fight in front of their children. When your children hear you yell at your wife, you don't just hurt her feelings. You hurt their feelings.
