The only other example I can think of is Russia's Better Than Us. The show is about robots and humans, but the main character father in it is portrayed like a real man.
The only thing he does wrong is not being able to perform a miracle surgery to save a high-ranking official's kid. For that he gets sent to the shit job and his wife hates him.
He's not a weak pushover, he's responsible and loving to his kids (who come across as real kids not hollywood-abused weirdos), and his wife is seen as a real bitch for blaming him for something that was not his fault and even herself recognizes that she's being unfair and bitchy.
