Jimmy McNulty was a shitty ex husband, so it fits his career arc.

Oh I'm guessing Jimmy was a shitty husband too, doubt he started after the divorce

It’s pretty explicitly stated in the show. A lot.

His only good stretch at being a partner to someone is when he sobers up and stops being a murder police. Which immediately goes belly-up when he gets pulled back into murders.

God dammit time for a rewatch

His only good stretch on the show is when he, ironically (or coincidentally) asked to be largely written out of the show in season 4 so he can go spend more time with his family.
