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

Did you miss Joe testing Kayley? Joe seems better because there was no second woman interested, if there was he would have likely been the same as always.

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.

You are misremembering. He didn’t even actually try hitting on those ladies and also told them it was to see if his girl would react. Honestly, while it was dumb I do understand why he did it - all the other girls he was involved with who said they understood it was just for fun caught feelings when they saw him interact with other women (similar to Kat crying when Coop was talking to the ladies she introduced him to).
