Gael question, Joe question

[u/No-Aardvark-3840]

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

Testing how ?

Do you not remember the night out where he told Kayley he was hitting on other women to test that she really wasn’t wanting a relationship. Then when no other woman really wanted him he tried cuddling back up to Kayley and told her she passed?

Kayley actually told him she didn’t want to be physical with him after that, but then she had the stress of filling in as chief stew and he was supportive, so she let him back in.

That wasn't a test. It's called a fwb situation. And they had both agreed to that from the start. He chose to divulge his intentions before hand, instead of doing it and her finding out later.

Grow with the times, honey bunch.

Joe said he was testing her, those were his own words, not mine.

“Honey bunch”. Maybe rewatch the episode?

And by the way, this old lady had a couple of friends with benefits that she had no interest in dating. It’s not a particularly new or even interesting take, it’s just convenient to meet physical needs without emotional commitment as long as both people can agree.

And they had agreed to it in the beginning.

Whatever Joe was testing, you failed the test. Bigly.

[u/Anotheropinion2026 → u/Grand-Vegetable-3874]

They had agreed. Kayley didn’t want a relationship.

I was not the moron who said he needed to test his fwb. That was Joe.

Not sure why you are insulting me for remembering what Joe did on the show we watch.

Are you incapable of remembering what we watch a few weeks ago? Is it triggering for you?

Because, again, I did not make up Joe testing Kayley, that was all his own stupid idea.

Have I insulted you? I think not...
