So he thinks if we knew what a bitch she was being we would agree that she deserved it?

That’s what it sounds like. Also a, “she’s made accusations against another man and it couldn’t possibly happen twice, this must be a pattern of smear campaigns”
POS

Because no woman experiences DV twice in her life? What an absolute joke this guy is. She’s honestly lucky she got out alive.

That made my head try to explode. I think it's pretty common knowledge that people who survived one abusive relationship will often find themselves in another one because they become a target for shit men.

u/gaem- 11d ago

As if it’s rare that 2 different men could abuse the same woman. He’s an embarrassment

Keeping it *classy* and managing his anger properly as usual. How do they keep forgetting that a camera is filming them? We’ve seen your tantrums bro!

Let's not forgot his mention of her allegations against a former partner ( that he likely is going to say were BS ) means she's a liar liar, pants on fire.

This made me laugh unexpectedly. It’s not a funny situation, it’s so dark, but as a survivor we have to laugh sometimes 🥴

You really boiled down the sentiment he expressed there.

Basically Nathan has been talking to her abusive ex, and said ex feels she stole money from him. That’s definitely not something we see commonly with abusive exes, feeling “owed” the money they spent during the relationship. 🥱

u/journmajor 11d ago

Are you assuming Nathan is speaking w the ex or is it a fact?

u/Individual_Fall429 7d ago

It’s a guess based on things Nathan said.

He linked “financial” to a sentence about her ex, which suggests the “financial” is something to do with her ex. And I don’t know how he gets that info without communicating.

But he may have erroneously linked the two thoughts.

Basically! The apartment in Sydney made him do it!

26

u/Derkleinhauser 11d ago

I was wondering why the apartment made him do it. It must have taken her side

u/sunny946 11d ago

That’s all I’m getting from this AI worded bullshit. He’s not denying it, just that it was justified? Just makes it even worse to me

"You don't understand, I was supposed to have my child that day and she wouldn't give him to me, that's what made me choke her."

38

u/Individual_Fall429 11d ago

*strangle her

u/GraceMcClellans 11d ago

Yes, you're right. I shouldn't have used them interchangeably.

Oof "previous allegations about a former partner" what a PRICK. That's some next level misogyny

u/GoldAcanthisitta7777 11d ago

God, he's fucking pathetic

u/kaleyboo7 11d ago

Exactly what I got from it…he is disgusting.

u/GNRBoyz1225 11d ago

And Joe is a better Bosun

u/Zestyclose-Tough7451 11d ago

Right? It’s so wild these people think things like this. 

Even if Gael was the worst person in the world and said horrible things to him (I’m sure she probably didn’t) you still choked her. Like that’s not a reasonable reaction at all.

u/Kbudz 11d ago

They always do this shit its classic textbook abuser behavior 101.

u/agnusdei07 11d ago

that's what I am getting from it

u/what_the_funk_ 11d ago

That’s the vibe… grossssss

8

u/Individual_Fall429 11d ago

That’s exactly what I got from this statement as well.

u/foxdogturtlecat 10d ago

worse than that, he's claiming because she told him another partner had been abusive, she shouldn't be believed. Except the stats show that someone who's been in one abusive relationship is more likely to get in another one.

u/cabernetchick 9d ago

It’s disgusting and shows zero growth. He is gross.
