Great until he married my mom's best friend after their divorce and her death. He doesn't understand why that is weird.
If he waited until your mom's death it doesn't seem that weird.

My Dad And I had a very rocky relationship when I was a teen but it has gotten much better and now we can just hang out and talk about anything.
That's pretty typical for most people.
My dad is pretty introverted and very reserved. We might drink a beer together, but I'm not going to have scotch and cigars with him like I do with my father-in-law. Our biggest bonding exercise is LSU football, and we go to several games together each year.

i was thinking about this yesterday, listening to an interview with Joe Buck, saying his dad was his best friend growing up.
thats not the case at all for me, he helped me develop into a man by being a hard arse, but thats about it. we are not close at all, but we see eachother often, struggle to find things to talk about

solid. i live 700 miles away from him, so we talk on the phone a couple times a week. i regularly call and ask his advice, sometimes even when i know what i'm going to do.

He is a jerk
How so? Because mine is too. I only put up with him because I hope to get a big inheritance someday down the road.
My dad isn't a bad person, he's just very difficult to get along with.

Before my dad passed away, we were very close. We had our rough times but we became closer as I got older.

good
My dad annoys me with some of his opinions and his refusal to take care of some health stuff, but he's about as reliable as they come. Worked pretty hard in a job he hated his entire life to provide for us, and while we're not traditional best friends, he's one of 2 or 3 "rocks" in my life, as should be the case.

it's OK. we are nowhere near close though. we talk at least once a month.
he's a very good man, but not overly a nice guy. terrible as a grandfather. he's done enough in the past to make me proud to have been raised by him. one event he did when i was in particular in our past nullifies any of his personality failures. i didn't realize at the time, but i love him most for that.
i live in a historic district with awesome older homes and rundown meth houses. a tweaker neighbor that has depended on me for a lot of things was borrowing a mower once and he mentioned it was his birthday. i asked how old he was and he said he was the exact same age as me. i stared into oblivion contemplating the face that i could be a 300lb man that has refuses to take a job and spends all day outside without a shirt, but with a cigarette who has to rely on other people to feed my kids.
i called my dad and said despite the fact he didn't help me much in life, he did raise me right and i greatly appreciate it.

yeah see i have none of that. my dad basically didn't raise me outside of teaching me baseball
my parents divorced when i was in 5th grade and by that point i already made power plays over him (i didn't call him dad i called him by his first name, even in front of other kids). when i was in middle school, i was more mature and less irrational-emotional than he was

my father and i are both controlling, hardheaded and stubborn so when we clash, its volcanic. thankfully those instances are very seldom, and we have successfully started and grown a business together for the last 12 years
i am so very thankful to have enjoyed a "young" father in my life (i was born when he was 20, now i'm 50)...matter of fact i need to tell him that more often

Ok to good. He has his issues but He's my dad and I love him.

He's dead, so it's fine.
OTOH, my son & I are best friends.

Very good. About the only reason we won't move away from slidell is because we're really close to my parents. My dad is my golf partner.
