If he wanted to Ridge could put an end to Taylor, Thomas, and Steffy relentlessly pushing for a Tridge reunion. Does he like the attention? Sure but it's not just about that. If Ridge 100% wanted to be with Brooke and there wasn't a question in his mind, if he didn't doubts about her, he'd put his wedding ring back on and that would be that. He does have doubts though. Regardless of how many times he says he loves Brooke he clearly has doubts and questions. This won't stop until he faces those doubts and decides whether he can live with them.

It would be nice if they all uttered more than the same sentences all the time and started having some real conversations.

I was just about to post something similar to this. Ridge's silence when Thomas and Steffy are going on and on about his feelings for Taylor is deafening. I found myself yelling at the screen that Ridge should just say once and for all that he is committed to Brooke and is in love with her. That he loves Taylor but does not want a life with her. But he never says that. Taylor and Ridge are both wimps when it comes to standing up to Steffy.

As I've read, Ridge did try to chastise Steffy today about her endless criticism of Brooke. However, the problem with Ridge is he consistently allows the Terrible Tots to run roughshod over him. I honestly don't think he has doubts about how he feels about Brooke. The base line of the problem is that Ridge enjoys being fawned over. And let's face it. Taylor has made it her mission to constantly stroke Ridge' ego. And he enjoys the attention. Makes him feel like Brad Pitt, even if his mirror doesn't. :whistle :dance1

That was the weakest defense of a wife I have ever seen. It's a pity that both of the women in this hellish triangle have more backbone than the cad they are fighting over.

He shut Steffy down pretty good today. But she's relentless. She won't stop until she destroys a marriage.

Ridge is not innocent of course. He is a womanizer, the waffler and he is no prize.

But as far as I'm concerned, he still doesn't look as bad as Talylor and Steffy. Waffling and playing 2 women is bad. But the way Taylor and her children are harassing him is worse. The way Taylor keeps begging for crumbs is pathetic. She is like a thirsty leech since the day she came back. Steffy is married with 2 children and runs a company, but she spends more time bad-mouthing the Logans, bringing up Brooke's past, whining and browbeating Ridge. If the spoilers are accurate she is going to sink to another low next week. She is no better than Sheila if she starts conspiring.
Ridge could put an end to it of course, but it doesn't give Taylor and Steffy a pass. They are portrayed like vile, sanctimonious and even heartless people. Ridge isn't to blame for their snotty attitude.

Steffy isn't conspiring against Brooke though. It sounds like next week she's going to run interference and prevent Ridge from getting to Brooke's surprise dinner. That's very different from setting Brooke up.

Steffy is definitely conspiring against Brooke and has been for months/years/decades.

That's what it's called now? Running interference? It's straight up manipulation.

Who is Steffy running interference for? Who asked her to run interference? Not Ridge.

Interference is just a euphemism for conspiring...especially as Steffy will ask Tom to help, probably using the voice app I assume.

And it would be understandable if Ridge was a young man, but grandpa doesn't know what he wants, it is really to foolish to watch.

I don't think it's that. If Brooke and Ridge break up it will be because Steffy manipulated.

Taylor could shut the whole thing down. But she won't because she wants it.

I don't think he has doubts..after all, he moved back into Brooke's house, still calls her "my wife", and never even entertained the thoughts of filing for a divorce/drawing up papers.

His whiny brats are just so relentless in bullying him to be with their thirsty ma..frankly, it's so forced and flat out embarrassing coming from his grown a$$ 30 something adult kids. Pathetic!

Shown on screen, Steffy blackmailed Bill. Yet, she told Ivy (and Liam too) that “blackmail is a crime”. Per Steffy’s own words, she IS a criminal cuz she has blackmailed.

Ridge hasn't been able to put a stop to the Taylor, Thomas and Steffy garbage about a Tridge reunion since it started almost 15 years ago. Those 3 idiots will never stop.

From what I have seen last week and a few weeks ago, and what I heard he said today - he shut them down. Does anyone remember how many times Steffy chased Liam and Oliver but particularly Liam. Threw herself at him. Practically naked. Liam finally gave in after a series of manipulated events.
Hope telling Thomas I don’t love you Thomas there is only one man for me. And still.
They both chased snd humiliated themselves.
The only thing Ridge can do to shut them down is stay out of their lives because they are relentless!

He has tried! More than once! But they are relentless and don't listen. I'm not excusing his behaviour, I too think he should be more firm but it's honestly embarrassing for a man to continue telling his ex wife and daughter that he loves his current wife when the two simply won't take no for an answer. What is even the point? I think even if he screams it from the rooftops or puts a front page ad in the paper, they will still not get the message. This is Steffys nature. She was the same way with Liam. Completely relentless like a bulldozer. And with her mum tacitly encouraging her she's even more so.

He may have tried but very obviously not hard enough. He can be as firm as he likes but when he's giving mixed signals then what other outcome can he expect. He says he loves his wife. He tries to shut down his overgrown toddler daughter when she trashes his wife and ignores her repeated dummy spits about how he should be with his adultering ex wife but his actions speak another message. In front of his adult toddlers he allows his ex wife to drape herself all over him, he puts his arm around and feels her up repeatedly, he kissed her in Monaco and she and her banshee daughter were excited over this so called epic kiss and what it must mean. A picture paints a thousand words and if a stranger walked into the room and saw Ridge and Taylor with their hands all over each other they would assume these two were married. RIdge says the words but his actions say otherwise. If Ridge truly loved Brooke he would never disrespect her the way he has been for months. He certainly would have never allowed his ex wife to slobber and drape all over him and he would never be feeling her up every opportunity he gets. He would never ever ever have gone to a Forrester dinner when he knew damn well she was not welcome. His actions don't back up his words. Brooke needs to dump this cheating loathsome toad. She deserves so much better than Ridge.
