Character growth, yes, Vegeta changed more than Goku. Not sure I agree with all those points. In the future Bulma was practically depressed and Trunks resented Vegeta for the pain he caused his mother. Trunks growing up in present time, Vegeta was definitely a better guy and spent time with his kid. I remember the sacrifice he made against Majin Buu. So father, yeah, Vegeta definitely grew. Husband? Bulma often complained she was the bread maker, and all Vegeta did was train. Not even take out the trash.
Future Saga Vegeta and mainline Vegeta are not the same characters at all. That Vegeta died against the Androids, after never really evolving prior to that.

Mainline Vegeta became a decent and certainly protective father, mentor (see: Cabba) which isn't winning him any prizes but it's a RIDICULOUS amount of evolution from where he started.
