Although the trailer doesn't exactly reveal what the issue between Melissa and Joe is, it however drops several hints. It looks like the couple are fighting over Melissa feeling like she's being held back by Joe from pursuing her interests in life. She can be heard saying, “I’m not going to give up what I want to do in life. You’re holding me back." Joe snaps back by saying she can do whatever she pleases to do with her life as they are 'done'. "Listen, go be whatever you want to be in life — we’re done.”

In the world of the housewives, the ladies barely ever hold back from sticking their nose in others' business. So, Margaret Josephs too seems to have gotten herself tangled in the Gorgas' drama. Joe is shown confronting the housewife for calling him 'chauvinistic'. Later, Melissa too comes to her husband's defense and tells her friend off for calling her husband chauvinistic. “I don’t need anybody calling my husband chauvinistic. Because whatever you think I’m dealing with, it’s probably more," she tells Marge.



 

Even though the showrunners want fans to believe that there's trouble in paradise for the Gorgas, fans are refusing to buy it. Many fans are convinced that this is just another 'fake storyline' for them. A fan tweeted, "I also call BS on this upcoming Joe and Melissa marriage problems storyline. #RHONJ." Another fan wrote, "Do you have anything to say about melissas 6th fake storyline this season? Now she’s having marriage problems? You do realise nobody believe this @andy. The ratings are deplorable #rhonj."



 



 

Another fan wrote, "WOW- the 1st 7 episodes of #RHONJ have been the best season, in any city, in a long long time. However after watching midseason trailer, if they are going to focus on Melissa and Joe's fake SL, that the marriage is in trouble, it will go down hill. Fast." "So Melissa and Joe are going for a fake possible separation storyline? To go along with the fake long lost sister storyline, fake singing career storyline... #RHONJ," pointed out a fan.
