The RHONJ OG revealed that while her four daughters *"don't love the idea"* of their parents splitting *"but they get it."* Teresa and Joe announced their official split in December 2019. This came after months if not years of speculation that their marriage was over. During [part two of the reunion](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2020/03/11/rhonj-reunion-recap-part-2/), Andy played a clip reel of all the harsh words Joe said to and about Teresa over the years, he then asked if Teresa has talked to her daughters about Joe's comments. *"I tell my daughters, I say to them, 'Daddy's a great father, I don't want a guy to speak to you the way daddy speaks to me,"* she said. *"I want you to find a guy who puts you on a pedestal in front of everybody."* She went on to claim that Joe only talked to her like that when the cameras were rolling. *"The only time he treated me like...the way he spoke to me like that was on the show,"* Teresa explained. According to Teresa, Joe* "tried to act like this macho guy"* when the cameras were rolling *"but behind the scenes he was good to me."* Teresa also insisted that she wasn't *"unhappy"* in her marriage to Joe. However, Teresa's sister-in-law [Melissa Gorga](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2020/03/06/jennifer-aydin-calls-melissa-gorga-self-absorbed-plus-melissa-agrees-with-fans-who-think-jennifer-seeks-approval-from-teresa/) disagrees. *"No, it was not just on the show,"* Melissa insisted. *"He hated the cameras - he did. He would get so frustrated so you would see it more. But he didn't baby her at all. He wasn't passionate, he wasn't kissy-huggy. He was NEVER praising Teresa."* Despite Melissa's claims, Teresa buckled down and said Joe *"didn't treat me bad because then I would have never stayed."* Teresa then said they had a *"great marriage"* while Melissa told her, *"You can do a lot better."* Meanwhile, Teresa also revealed that she hasn't had her *"pipes cleaned"* since splitting with Joe, adding *"I want to though. I'm dying to!"* As for her next man, Teresa says she's done with Italian men. *"My first guy was Italian, I want my next one to be Jewish,"* she confessed. *"I heard Jewish men make the best husbands. I want somebody to talk so sweet to me and gentle, I want to be beautiful to him. I'm done with the whole Italian, tough guy. I'm tired of that. I want something different."* The final part of the three-part RHONJ [season 10 reunion](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2020/01/25/photos-rhonj-season-10-reunion-looks/) airs on Wednesday, March 18 at 8/7c. ## Do you think Teresa can do better than Joe?
