Both of Anna's men were too good for her. She didn't seem to care about her daughter at all, and her son not enough to avoid the affair or its consequences.
Kerenin her husband was honorable, and even offered her a way out of the marriage that would have allowed her to marry Vronsky by taking the blame for the marriage's failure on himself. In the end, it is he that raises both of Anna's children.
She refused to feel any shame for the situation she created, and nearly drove her lover insane with her insecurity and jealousy. She was a self-centered immature twit. I have a feeling that even with the sorrow he must have felt, there must have been also a sense of relief. He, on the other hand seemed not to have any feeling for his daughter, but there is no doubt that he loved Anna. He never marries and goes off to war.
There is a Russian version of the story on YouTube called "Vronsky's Story" that tells the tale from his point of view in his future in flashbacks after her death. It has English subtitles. The actors playing Anna and Vronsky are married in real life, are very attractive, and have great chemistry. It is much better than this trash.
