Horrific, just horrific...
Season 3, Episode 6

its a weird science. if she was treated great, she'd leave him for an abusive guy. women despise nice guys with the fire of a thousand suns. there's actually scientific studies on it . think about how many times someone hears "i just got out of a bad relationship."

[@marinam.2293]

I couldn't stand the way he was treating his wife (and staff as well), but I didn't think she was delusional - she knew her husband can cook, he had the same training as Gordon. She also understood from the beginning that they're not going to stay open much longer unless there are some serious changes.

[@notme1998]

She's deep in debt and her husband doesn't listen to her, it's probably a defence mechanism

The decision to upload all these gradually on KZbin is genius I’m hooked

[@mokajones74]

31:38 the moment he gets through 😂 even Gordon can't believe it 🤣🤣 his face is priceless

[@LeahBeah173]

1000% believe that man has put hands on his wife in the past. Not only her demeanor of never challenging him but also saying his food is the best but based off looking at her she knows he’s the problem but can’t say it. Then the comment “I would stop right there if I were you and go away”. Idk gives me the same vibes I witnessed my mom going through in a similar situation. Hopefully she leaves his ass.

[@AshCupric]

I definitely had the same thoughts watching this episode. I feel for his poor wife, I hope she starts to believe in herself and dumps him.

[@bhnjus]

I caught those vibes pretty immediately as well. Grew up watching my step dad put my mom through that shit. When other people say shit and Gordon does, she has a support out let to actually speak her mind instead of being in that cautious danger shell personality to avoid getting knocked around.

[@LeahBeah173]

@@bhnjus exactly. One thing I’ve always respected about Gordon is there was a guy that you could tell grew up in aboose on his Hell’s Kitchen episode and he not broke down but broke down due to the name calling. like wouldn’t even look at Gordon. He let Gordon know and Gordon apologized and understood growing up in it himself and didn’t ever do it again. This chick I hope gets out and knows her worth like our moms did bc it’s not worth it. Also, I love ur pfp lol

[@jakublulek3261]

From my experience, if there was a genuine love between the spouses in the past, women are reluctant to leave even when their partner becomes abusive. They are hanging on the past memory, they still see the old version of their beloved one and hope he will return. Same thing like mothers seeing their adult children still as a little kids. I bet she still loved him and didn't stay just out of fear. If he abused her physically, who knows. Maybe, maybe not. My personal opinion is that he would shout at her and throw things but would not hurt her. She kinda resigned.

[@mambutuomalley2260]

@@jakublulek3261 The cycle of abuse is a little more complex than just hanging on to a memory. The abusive situations can be very sparse and only last for moments. During the time after a heavily abusive situation the abuser often times showers the abused with love and affection.There are tons of psychological processes that happen in a victim of abuse. Hanging on to a memory typically plays only a small part.

Bravo! 🙂

[@mrv.5114]

You can literally tell that he is emotionally abusive with his wife. She's looks petrified every time he starts speaking (yelling) and cussing her. That's terrible. I felt uncomfortable during the whole episode. Andy does not seem like a nice person.
