Brooke Got a Big Fat Reality Check

First of all, it's not an assumption on Taylor's part. Ridge told her he loves without any qualifying. That's a tacit admission that he's in love with her. Second of all, this "destiny" nonsense is just that, nonsense. If you're really destined it shouldn't be so hard to stay together.

My ex longtime boyfriend always tells me he loves me, when we see each other socially. He is happily married, as am I, does this mean he is in love with me? LOL. Nope. It means that he is someone I have knows since HS, dated for 10 years, and we have a deep and abiding love and respect for each other.

Ridge loves Taylor very much. He is also being inundated by his Tridge family right now to reunite with Taylor. He is also feeling extremely guilty about his son's mental illness and not being there to protect his daughter when she was shot by Sheila. Ridge is a vortex of feelings right now, and unfortunately, the Hamilton Gang will not allow him any time at all to himself, to decompress and regroup. Steffy even said they had to do something before he just settled back in with Brooke.

At least Taylor was honest today when she admitted her feelings to Brooke, and it was no surprise to Brooke either. BUT, Ridge went home to Brooke, when he could have just stayed at Eric's And, it was not for her ankle either. That is long healed and he is still living with his wife. Ridge may very well end up with Taylor, I fully expect that will happen, but what a hollow victory that will be for the Hamilton's. That is why I think Taylor was on the verge of crying today, because she knows any way she ends up with Ridge now, he will always love someone else, just as much, if not more than her. And, she will always know, if he chooses to be with her, it will be because of the kids, and not because of just her. Brooke always knows, he is with her, for her. He never does anything for RJ's sake, and he does not even acknowledge Hope as the girl that once called him Dad.

I think that Taylor thinks she can make Ridge forget about Brooke, so she will take the chance on him. But, Taylor has never gotten Ridge to forget about Brooke, yet she never learns. Or maybe this time, she will be content with just a portion of his heart, and while laying in bed, when he sighs, if he is sighing about his Logan.
