Ridge always chose Taylor. It took Taylor dying for Brooke to get Ridge by default twice. Ultimately there was incomprehensible switch in how things always worked that coincided with the deliberate character assassination of Taylor. It feels like BB is righting these egregious wrongs hence Brooke reacting so viscerally today because she knows that Ridge will choose Taylor.

You are missing the point. He did choose to stay with Taylor, but he was always chasing Brooke. All through his marriages to Taylor. He left her on the night of their rehearsal dinner to chase after Brooke to stop her from marrying Grant. He paid $50,000. for a motorcycle to get to her. He did not even tell Taylor he was leaving. He went all the way to Paris to bring Brooke home, after finding out what Taylor and his parents had done. He didn't have to go there, but he found out she was almost killed by the man his dad hired, and he went to her. He could have just called and sent the plane. Days after marrying Taylor at the fake heart attack wedding, he was at Brooke's begging her to give him time to figure things out, and Brooke sent him home to his wife. Ridge was is despair when she sent him away. He goes home and tries to make it work with Taylor, but it does not work. He puts space between them when he goes to Paris on business, and when he got back, she told him about cheating with James, kissing Hector, and he was almost relieved, that he had a reason to leave her and go after Brooke. Even long before all of this, he chose to stay with Brooke, when Taylor came back from the dead, the very first time. But, one thing we have never seen on this show in all of the years it has had this triangle, is Ridge running around chasing after Taylor when she is with someone else, while he is married to Brooke. Ridge has interfered in every single other relationship Brooke has had, Grant, James, Nick, Bill, he has begged her not to marry these men, chased her, brought back RJ to stop her from marrying, raped her to stop her, etc. Maybe this time it will be different and when he dumps Taylor and she takes up with Deacon or someone else, Ridge will finally care. But, he sure did not when she married Whip, married Nick, was going to marry Thorne, was sleeping with Eric, etc. He just does not care if Taylor is with another man, but he loses his mind if Brooke is with another man. That tells me, as twisted as his love is, he is completely obsessed with keeping Brooke in his orbit, and not really too concerned if Taylor is in it, or not. It seems Ridge is more concerned about his grown kids wanting mommy and daddy together again, then he is about Taylor's feelings for him. JMHO
