Both Teresa and Joe Gorga have a serious case of theshoulds.
You should have defended Luis, Teresa says.
You should have had us sit next to each other at your engagement party, Joe says.
You should have kept quiet about me on your podcast and on social media, Teresa says.
You should have invited Melissas family to your wedding, Joe says.
You should have never gone ontomyshow, Teresa says.
You should have welcomed us so we can all share the wealth, Joe says.
There are plenty of things we all should do.
This is the problem with the old-school mentality thats pervasive among the cast.
Look at what happens with Doloress new boyfriend Paul and her ex and forever soulmate Frank.
He asks Dolores to invite Paulie for him since he doesnt have his number.
Would it have been better if Frank asked Paul himself?
Invite Paulie to guys night Friday at eight, then slamming the door on his way out.
Yes, Dolores is old school and red sauce and wife beaters.
Oh, we shouldnt call them that anymore?
Okay, red sauce and A-shirts.
God, I do not care about this fight at all.
She knows this is a trap.
No matter what she does, shes stuck.
If she says no, Teresa says, Well, I asked her and she said no.
No matter what happens, Teresa wins.
They all think that Melissa and Joe are lying about something.
That they were close with the kids when their parents were in jail?
I guess thats it.
Gia and Dr. Gabriella Giudice say the only time they saw them was when they were filming.
Well, yeah, they did that to provide for this family when Teresa was away.
Thats a pretty big deal.
Then Luis oh sorry, were supposed to call him Louie now, the chyron tells us.
Sorry, Im not falling for that one again.
Im not letting her change the perfectly fine Luis to Louie.
Luis says that he thinks Melissa and Joe are working together to venture to hurt Teresa.
This is the problem right here: Teresas man and her der-twers are telling her that shes always right.
Its interesting to see Melissa talk to Danielle about what is going on in her own family.
Danielle says she and her mother are not talking to her brother.
That was two years ago, and theyre not over it.
Just like Melissa, I call bullshit on this.
The reason cant be because she blocked him on Instagram.
She, like Teresa, blames the sister-in-law.
Thats the thing about relationships: They need to evolve or else they grow stagnant and die.
Thats why you cant have the same fuck buddy for ten years.
But it will never be the same.
That is the case with siblings, cousins, exes, boyfriends, anything.
That is whyshouldis tearing Teresa and Joe apart.
The relationship they feel like theyshouldhave is never going to happen.
They need to sit down, figure it out, and get over it.
We all know thats not going to happen.
This is how men interact without women.
(Gay men too!
Throwing shade is just talking shit about each other but being funnier about it.)
That is a man who knows how to get along with dudes.
Sadly, there is plenty of shit to talk about him, and it starts with his mustache.
Why is he shaving half of it off?
An American mustache is a terrible thing to waste, John.
And while were at it, what is up with the little elongated flavor-saver on Frank?
I would like nothing more than to remake the facial hair of every man on this show.
(Basically, theyll all just get mustaches.
Including Frankie Jr. and Gino.)
Dude, from what I can see, Luis has been nothing but nice to Joe.
But Joe hates Luis for the same reason Teresa hates Melissa, because they cant hate each other.
I dont know why it started or how it ended, but they do.
For Luiss part, he handles himself admirably.
When Joe talks about how hurt he is, Luis says that Teresa is hurting too.
Why cant these two hurting people help each other?
Because thats not what theyshoulddo.
Theyre still caught up on the proper way to behave.
Joe says he doesnt want to because he doesnt want to get hurt again.
I bet Teresa feels the same way.
But Joe is also right in that Teresa cant move on from anything.
She cant get over the way her relationship with Joe changed when Melissa came around.
She cant get over the sprinkle cookies.
She cant get over the christening.
Joe is no better.
I think the reason they cant move on is because of Teresa, but theyre both at fault here.
But what do I know?
Im only a non-Italian who is still on speaking terms with everyone in his family.
