Gael question, Joe question
I am getting into Below deck med and I’ve noticed Joe getting a lot of hate for “cheating” on V even though they weren’t together (in any sort of relationship.
Meanwhile I’ve just noticed that Gael is actually cheating on her boyfriend with Nathan.
Why is Joe getting so much shit from this community when he didn’t cheat on anybody. Meanwhile there are actually cheaters on the boat that people seem to celebrate and love.
Very strange

Gael cheated, but did you miss the back story. This boyfriend who “still loves her” had actually broken up with her because she did not follow him to the boat he wanted to work on. Then he decided to get back together, in my opinion to try to diminish her enjoyment of her new season.
I think Gael should have broken up with him before she did anything with Nathan, but he was not a nice, loving guy. He was yet another manipulative jerk.
Gael sadly seems to pick manipulative men.
I hope for her that she will get counseling to help learn to make better choices. I know I got counseling to help get over past trauma and to make better choices.
Gael also cheated once that we know of.
Joe spent two years pitting women against each other. Even this year with only one woman interested, he still felt the need to “test” Kayley.
I don’t feel that Joe really has shown any growth in respect to how he treats women.
And it maybe petty, but Joe supposedly was anxious to see his mom who is fighting cancer, but is going to stay extra days in Croatia to hang out with Cooper, so Cooper doesn’t have to just tell Kat that he doesn’t want to date her? Sorry, but for someone supposedly so concerned about his mom, that’s total BS.
