DivineMissM ITA it's because she was a stripper. THey are old school and being a stripper is something that would really offend them. Also I think how their whole relationship started wasn't it said that the only reason why Mel started dating Joe was because she wanted to get married & settle down and her ex had no desire to do so, supposedly she still saw him while dating Joe. Also wasn't Joe dating a few girls at the time and he had to settle down with Mel because she got pregnant?
I think Tree & her bro both don't want to take any responsibility for their actions. I think it's a case of them being two peas in a pod, they are both being stubborn and don't want to admit to any wrong doing because of their pride.
