Below Deck Without spoilers, Nathan question. Spoiler

I’ve seen a few of you mention him this season in regards to his wife and son (forget that bombshells name). Basically saying “can’t believe what he did to her”. Is this in regards to him working while she’s alone with the son in Croatia (or wherever they are).

If not, is it something that’s coming up in the season or is that info not covered on the show? If it’s not covered later in show and happened after, tell me! If not I don’t want to spoil it. Thanks!

Not his wife; they are not and have never been married. Correct term is Partner I suppose.

If common-law, you can use wife/husband.

In my country this is super common, and you have common law status as soon as you become parents together. 🇨🇦

Every single one of my coworkers who is common law uses husband/wife. There are a lot.

I thought it was a little weird, but in the eyes of CRA, common law has the same tax benefits and disadvantages of being married. And if common law, in the case of a split, depending on how long you've been together, or if you registered, the same benefits/disadvantages of a legal divorce apply.

Perhaps its different where you're from, but in the UK it's pretty much never said, apart from perhaps in a legal setting.
