I know it's unsympathetic, I literally said I have no sympathy.
She knows the score as in how many hours are required to work on a super yacht and the lifestyle that comes with it, and how intense a six-week condensed season is. It wasn't her first rodeo by any means, nor Nathan's.
If she signed up while pregnant, she probably should have said "I'd like to do it but I don't know what my life as a parent wIl look like so I can't make a firm decision right now".
Agreeing to stay in a hotel for up to two months, away from all other familial support, starting when that baby is less than ten weeks old is absolute madness. She's not a child and didn't previously appear to be stupid, but I clearly read that wrong. I agree that no-oke probably realises the impact having a new born has on your life, your body, your hormones and your mental health, so why not err on the side of caution and decide to stay close to a stable support network?
And if she did it because Nathan wanted to be involved, and pressure was coming from him, then he was being selfish in putting his own wants and needs ahead of those of his newborn child, and for me that would've been enough of a red flag on its own to say "You know what, no thank you."
So no, I don't feel sorry for Gael or Nathan, I feel sorry for the baby, whose welfare I seem to have thought about, sadly, far more than either of his parents.
