This is the problem. (General)

Brooke puts up with it. Ridge won't.

They keep telling Ridge that he has no peace and Brooke keeps doing things to hurt him. That's because he's such a jealous insensitive jerk. Everything they say Brooke does to Ridge, Ridge is actually doing to Brooke -- But she puts up with it. Ridge, however, can't even put up with a hug after he just got down professing love and hugging his ex. I'm so over him.

Maybe he'll surprise us tomorrow and he'll understand what's going on in the living room. You think? If so, there's probably gonna be some stupid misunderstanding scandal in the works. They aren't using the scandal word for nothing these days.

What's funny is all the scandals others have caused, but no scandal gets mentioned unless it's Brooke's. They keep all the other ones under wraps. Thomas and Emma. Thomas and Sheila. Steffy shooting Sheila. Taylor shooting Bill. But all of Brooke's must be known. SMH

Yeah, WHEN are the viewers gonna hear/see others talk about Steffy/Taylor/Thomas scandals/crimes???? This writing is so unbalanced it's garbage and insulting to long time viewers.

And when is Brooke gonna see Ridge flirting and allowing Taylor hanging all over his cheating behind? All the intimate Tridge hugs? Why is it only Ridge sees Brooke hugging her ex?

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.

Agreed. This is exactly what was going through my head today watching the show.

Ridge didn't just kiss Taylor in Monaco. He was sucking face with her fairly soon after moving out on Brooke because of the Deacon kiss. Not just kissing, but rolling around on a bed at Steffy's house. I don't think they ever did the deed, but they came a heck of a lot closer than Brooke and Deacon or Bill. She didn't even kiss Bill today, but that won't make a different to Ridge, I'm sure.

I would find it amusing if tomorrow it turns out Ridge understands the situation and goes back to Brooke like he intended in the first place. But even if he does that, I think he'll be suspicious of every interaction Brooke has with anyone, so like many other people here, I would just as soon see Ridge throw a fit and then Brooke throw him out of the house, sending him to see how it likes life with "Tee-hee-hee" Taylor and their psycho kids.

I doubt that will happen though.

Also, what was pretty significant to me today was that the voice in Ridge's head was NOT Taylor's, but Steffy's. It feels significant because they both said essentially the same things, but it's Steffy's warning that came back to him in the moment.

It could mean nothing, but if he does go for breakup #10,342 with Brooke, it seems clear to me that it was not the compelling love of Taylor that will bring him back to her, but the unconscionable nagging of his obnoxious woman-child with her obvious mommy/daddy issues. Yuck!

Agree, but I'm not sure Brooke really realizes how much Ridge hangs all over Taylor. I mean, he's constantly touching and caressing her. It is beyond ridiculous! I think if Brooke could see how he really acts around Taylor, she would have dumped Ridge long ago, and then afterwards, beat the cr_ _ out of Taylor. Ridge and Taylor act like high school kids who can't keep their hands off each other. Of course, I have not been watching much at all so haven't seen a lot of their crazy behavior but I've seen enough to know that Ridge needs to leave Brooke alone and let her find someone who she can truly be happy with. You cannot be happy in a marriage and at the same time exhibit such crazy behavior with your ex. Ridge, please go to Taylor right now and leave Brooke ALONE!
