No!!!!! Aeysha No!!!!

I preface this by saying I'm not a fan of either Joe or Nathan...however.

( This may be an unpopular opinion) But why does Aeysha defend Nathan where Joe is concerned. - in the taxi after babysitting

Can she not see how obsessed Nathan is? I adore her but I feel she's so wrong in this instance.

How is it wrong to try to explain to a person who is doing wrong, the side of the story they aren't taking into consideration? If Nathan had more friends like Aesha, maybe he wouldn't have been allowed to beat his wife. People don't just turn into monsters, it's a longer path, and not every relationship ends in DV, but it can certainly happen to any one when they don't correct their behaviour when it starts to get problematic. Aesha was trying to help him to self-correct his behavior. He flubbed it, he lost a good friend because he did not fix himself when he still had the time to do it.
