I saw this tweet today and it is such a good observation because yes! The reason why Louis had never asked Lestat about his potential involvement in Paul's death and sat on that suspicion for 20+ years was that deep down, he knew it wouldn't make difference either way. He was going to stay with Lestat no matter what his answer was.
Louis sees Lestat murder his parish priest—a man Louis had known since childhood, who attended his sister's wedding and helped organize his brother's funeral, and he also heard Lestat confess to killing Miss Lily, his friend and close confidante, and STILL he said yes to Lestat's marriage proposal.
When Louis finds Lestat and Antoinette at the HO-tel and Claudia asks him if he's going to do anything about it he says, what difference would it make? Lestat's cheating will not stop Louis from being with him, nothing will really.
Louis is, of course, deeply ashamed about this, the fact that the darkness in Lestat is not a deterrent to him—quite the opposite, he can't help but be drawn to it. Lestat acts out all the impulses and desires that Louis himself feels he has to repress.
(sidenote, Benni makes the best LDPDL gifs in the fandom, I mean look at this!!!)
So is it really a surprise that Louis would, later on, stay with Armand, the guy who murdered his beloved daughter? Not really.
Not when he chooses to get back with Lestat after ep. 5 despite the fact that it condemned Claudia to a life of misery with no horizon. And when in the end, he fails to kill Lestat even though it meant Lestat could potentially come back to seek revenge against Claudia — which he does kinda, and it's part of what precipitates her death.
So yes, Louis is a terrible father, and he will always choose dick over the safety of his loved ones.

y'all i'm sobbinggg so today while the kids were sleeping my two work besties and i were basically gossiping about guys and stuff and one of em mentioned she was a virgin (she spelled it out 'cause one of the kids was on my lap and only half-asleep lol) and so the other asked me if i was and i said no so she asked how many and i said "well it depends on how you count it i guess" to which she was like 👀👀👀 so i said "two that i agreed to," (at which point they both gasped in horror cause they knew what was coming) "and one that i didn't" and my wonderful beloved team lead, who has NEVER sworn at work before, goes "oh, fuck him" without an INSTANT of hesitation 😭😭😭 and then we completely broke down laughing when she realized what she said 😭
her reaction was so immediate and passionate that her normally-effective pre-k filter didn't even have a chance, and i fucking love that about her
