The difference is Daley was in a steady relationship that involved a child and it was so serious that his GF gave THAT interview. Dexters "relationship" was in the early stages, and we cant even be sure that it wasn't another made up story, the same people who are complaining about Dexter's fake backstory are suddenly completely taken with the idea that he has a grieving girlfriend
