📢 Ridge Forester: The Man Who Never Truly Chose Taylor – The Bold and the Beautiful’s Devastating Truth 📢

Ridge’s history with women takes a shocking twist—has he ever really chosen Taylor Hayes, or is she just the perpetual backup? Fans are diving deep into the archives, exposing decades of evidence that prove Ridge’s romantic decisions have been driven by something far from destiny. Despite what Taylor and Stephie have convinced themselves, the truth is clear: Ridge has never truly wanted Taylor in the way she believed he did.

As viewers watch Ridge bounce from woman to woman, including Caroline Spencer, Katie Logan, and Shauna Fulton, the question remains: why did he never fight for Taylor when he had the chance? The answer lies in Ridge’s own history of indecision and unrelenting pursuit of Brooke Logan, no matter how many other women entered his orbit.

The St. Thomas Ring: A Symbol of False Hope

The catalyst for this new wave of fan outrage? Taylor’s desperate proposal with the St. Thomas ring she’s clung to for 25 years. Taylor, in an emotionally charged moment, offers Ridge a ring that was meant to symbolize everything they could have had. However, the timing of the proposal reveals a painful truth. Taylor’s offer comes not when Ridge is free and available, but after he has just separated from Brooke, and once again, Ridge is left caught between the past and present.

For fans, the timing is everything. Ridge never ran to Taylor when he was single, never made grand romantic gestures to win her back. He spent years with other women, showing a complete lack of interest in rekindling his relationship with Taylor—until it suited him to have her as a convenient fallback. This isn’t a love story; it’s a tale of unrequited affection, with Ridge choosing everyone but Taylor.

The Harsh Reality: Ridge’s Pattern of Choices

Fans have poured over Ridge’s romantic history, and the pattern is undeniable. Every time Ridge was free from Brooke, he chose someone else. He married Caroline Spencer, pursued Katie Logan after sharing a kiss, even eloped with Shauna Fulton in Las Vegas. These choices were not impulsive; they were deliberate acts of rejecting Taylor, the woman who had been loyally waiting for him all these years.

What Taylor and Stephie fail to acknowledge is that Ridge’s decisions were his own. He was never manipulated by Brooke; he was simply drawn back to her time and time again because he wanted her. This isn’t about Taylor being the victim of an evil plot—this is about Ridge’s own indecisiveness and his failure to recognize Taylor’s unwavering devotion.

Stephie’s Projection and Taylor’s Desperation

Stephie, in her defense of her mother, is now becoming an unwilling participant in this narrative of denial. She refuses to accept that Ridge never truly chose her mother and instead blames Brooke for everything. But the reality is harder to deny: Ridge always had the chance to be with Taylor, and he didn’t take it. He actively sought out relationships with other women, proving that his heart was never fully invested in her.

Taylor’s desperate proposal, where she clutches the ring as if it’s some sort of relic of a love that never existed, is a clear symbol of her inability to move on from a dream that Ridge never shared. Fans are no longer buying into the notion that Ridge was taken from Taylor by Brooke. The truth is far more painful: Ridge simply never wanted her the way she wanted him.

The Bitter Truth: A Love Never Fully Realized

The final nail in the coffin comes with Ridge’s nonchalant reaction to Taylor’s proposal. While Taylor was clutching the ring in her hands, Ridge had already built a life with other women. He didn’t fight for her when it mattered most, and now, as Taylor pleads for his commitment, Ridge’s response speaks volumes. The truth is clear: Taylor’s love for Ridge has always been a one-sided affair.

As the saga unfolds, the heartbreaking reality for Taylor and Stephie becomes undeniable. Ridge never chose Taylor, and he never will. This truth is the painful pill that both must swallow, no matter how much they cling to their romanticized versions of the past.

The Bold and the Beautiful is about to take a hard look at the consequences of lingering in the past, and fans are ready for the fallout. Will Taylor finally realize that her love for Ridge is unrequited, or will she continue to live in the shadows of a love story that never fully came to be?
