Is Joe Giudice Sabotaging Teresa's Reconciliation With Her Family?

It's no secret that Teresa Giudice from The Real Housewives of New Jersey has her share of family problems. Her relationship with her brother, Joe Gorga, may be the most volatile one on the show. Lately, we can't help thinking that Tre's husband, Joe Giudice, is purposely trying to sabotage any chance of Teresa and her brother finally dropping their drama.

Earlier this season, just the mere mention of Joe Gorga's name sent Juicy Joe into a rant, banishing him from his house. He even threatened to leave Teresa if she brought up her family at all anymore! Whoa, easy killer.

This week, we found out that the main reason Teresa won't agree to "couple's" counseling with her brother is that Joe won't allow it. Apparently, not only does he not believe in therapy because, you know, they're Italian, but he thinks Teresa's brother should drag his own wife, Melissa Gorga, to the couch and leave his wife out of it. And even though Teresa claims to put her brother first, she has decided that hubby knows best in this case.

Personally, we'd like to see Tre and her bro talk to a pro, if anything for the entertainment potential, but it looks like it's not going to happen. Is Joe Giudice to blame? Vote in our poll!
