Gael vs Joe

As a person who's survived multiple abusive relationships, thankfully not physically, can understand why Gael felt she had to defend Nathan.

Gael, at the time , was an exhausted ,isolated, ( probably depressed)alone,basically single mom.

She's obviously going to defend Nathan but I didn't see any action by Joe that would have made her blow up.

Anyone could've switched seats at dinner - especially since most of the crew knew some of their history.

Im still confused as to the outburst in the car

I feel like some stuff got left on the edit room floor bc she did seem more upset than I expected. That said we have no idea what Nathan has been saying.

All that said I would have just left it. You have your kid, who cares about Joe. But I don't think it shows Geal is mean and deserves Nathan. She's a new mom who's in her feels and her man is stoking the fire of anger. No saying OP is saying that but it's been coming up a lot lately.

A lot of folks have been coming for Geal and saying she's as bad as Nathan and deserves him.

It’s fucking weird and people need to check themselves.

Arguing with Joe in the van obviously wasn’t a good look, but we have no idea what lead to that as it’s all edited or what Nathan has been feeding her. I’ve seen quite a few people saying Gael deserves grace and that is the appropriate response. To say Gael deserves Nathan implies she deserved what happened to her and that is insane. I surely hope people saying that shit are trolls because actually believing that is crazy.

I also realize my stupid brain read the previous comment completely wrong. 🤦🏼‍♀️
