"Destiny" yet Ridge is so "torn"

[Theresa_Fan]

So much destiny that Taylor had to tell Ridge to go tell Brooke. He didn't even want to go over. So much destiny that Ridge still loves Taylor and is "Torn", he has shared like 3 kisses with Taylor and hugs her so much. The way TK looks at KA imo is more sexual and Tridge have sexual chemistry. Tridge haven't even made love and Ridge's heart is torn.

I always said Taylor represents the quiet, peaceful family life for Ridge and Brooke is the playful intimate sexlife. His waffling from one woman to the other went on for years and only stopped temporarily when Taylor moved.

It all boils down to what Ridge feels, as to who he chooses to spend the rest of his life with, who he wants to grow old with. It's not going to matter about the past or the imperfections of each woman. I think he's wise to take his time to think about why he didn't trust Brooke's instincts that there was an "outside force" that caused her to fall off the wagon. I personally don't think the "drunken kiss" was a big deal or the fact that Brooke woke up with Deacon in her bed, since there was no sex and Brooke didn't have a choice about Deacon being in her bed. I also don't think that Brooke "not defending" Ridge when he was attacking Deacon to be accurate. In my opinion, she was breaking up a fight that Deacon appeared to be losing and it's a good thing she did or there could have been a worse outcome. Ridge was at fault for attacking Deacon.

Ridge needs to think about those things and also about Sheila's friendship with Taylor that he and Steffy warned her about, reminding her about her violent past. I thought Taylor was very classy today, how she acknowledged that she didn't see this, and obviously feels very sorry she let it happen.

Didn't Brooke also tell Ridge at one time to go to Taylor? It's the same storyline going in the opposite direction. None of the words actually mean anything anymore.

just messed up. Brooke wants the return of her lap dog, so she can claim her turf, then call it my house so she can do what she wants. Ridge loves Brooke but does not want to hurt Taylor. Now Ridge is moving in with Eric, Quinn may soon have a broken heart, so who knows if Ridge decides he needs something other than Tridge and Bridge. Meanwhile they are all aging adults, so sure do wish Ridge makes a final decision

She did, but then she changed her mind and seemed to forget that Ridge was the one who took off his ring and walked out on her.

I've never known any story about destiny for the destiny to be easy or immediate. For 35 years Brooke and Ridge have always come back together (for whatever reason). I believe they will again, but it may be a while.

I do not in any way want to compare Ridge and Brooke to a true abusive relationship, however, it is often the case that an abused spouse returns home to live with their abuser. Coming together isn't necessarily a good thing, especially when they seem to have the same issues resulting in the same toxic cycle.

If Brooke wants Ridge back all she has to do is pretend she and Bill are getting together. Otherwise he will continue to straddle the fence for a few weeks.

How did they always come back together? The only time he went back to Brooke is because Taylor died or cheated. If Taylor wouldn't have died, she would have never had him. She's only had Ridge by default. HT was on/off the show for years.
