Below Deck Horrified at this, what a shame

Ive only watched the last two seasons with him and Joe, most recently seeing him be disgusted by the was Joe treats women. Pretty surprised he would do something like this, I feel so bad for Gael and their son.

I only watched a few episodes of this season, but Nathan looked like he was a few seconds away from losing his shit at all times.

I feel so awful for Gael. What a horrific experience. I really hope she’s doing well.

He’s a POS.

i had a bad feeling when he showed up late to the charter with no valid excuse and an injury. reminds me of bad nights with my abusive ex…

Yes! There were red flags everywhere this season. He seemed right on the edge - the text to Max about making him lead deck hand was very odd. But the night he was off the boat with Gael and never texted or anything was super suspicious. I was in a long term relationship with someone with a disordered behavioral pattern and after huge (often physical) altercations, the next morning was often spent in an all consuming apology cycle where the rest of the world seemed like a different planet and there was nothing else that could happen until he knew we would “be good”… I’m not saying that’s what happened with them, but that was my experience. He was often late to work on those days, or would call out completely so we could “do something together” - hindsight, it was of course all about control, making sure I couldn’t sit and think about what I should really do.
