Bold and the Beautiful fans are very well aware of the fact that Ridge sometimes finds himself in the middle of very inappropriate situations. He’s a man who likes to spend a great deal of his time doing things he should not be doing. He likes to spend his time with women who he should not be spending time with. Most of his relationships are inappropriate for no additional reason than the fact that he is usually a married man — to another woman — when he is involved with the women in his life. We stand by our decision and our beliefs that he and Brooke are a terrible couple who will never make a happy marriage really work considering how much they dislike one another’s decisions and love of their own children. They’re always too focused on others than their own marriage, and that is never good. However, we think that he’s also had some other inappropriate relationships, and we will share those here. Do you have additional women with whom he should not have been with?
Quinn
She was one of the biggest mistakes he made. Not only was he engaged to Brooke when this all went down, but it turned her back to her ex, and the former husband of her own sister, and it actually led to her marrying Bill. He then cheated on her with Steffy, who was cheating on her own husband at the time despite the fact that she thought her husband was dead. It was a mess by itself, but there was more to it than that one. Perhaps the biggest issue was the fact that Quinn was a married woman. Not just a married woman, either. She was — and still is — married to his father. That was the ultimate disgusting betrayal right there, but they do seem to have moved on from that in some capacity, have they not? We aren’t condoning it, but we are making sure we make it clear that we didn’t like any of this in any way, shape or form.
Caroline
So many reasons this did not work out for us, and we don’t even know where to begin to go there. We know, for one, that she is a woman who was too young for him. He knew that. Then there was the simple fact that his son had feelings for her. He even went on to have an actual baby with her. There is nothing wrong with many of the things that happened here until you break it down like that. His son loved her, she loved his son, and there were some big issues there that had to be worked out. As a parent who always puts his kids and their needs first, he was really not on that train when he was making decisions that involved Caroline, was he? There is nothing that we find more awful than a parent who goes out of his or her own way to find time for romance with someone who is or was or wants to be involved with the parent’s child. It’s gross, and it definitely caused some issues that weren’t there in the past. We know this for certain, and it is big.
Shauna
We have no problem with the fact that they are clearly not from the same class. We don’t mind that at all, though there seem to be some people who are bothered by the fact that he is looking for a woman who is not, in her own right, from the ‘right’ family and background. However, we do have a problem with his kissing her and being honest with her about his feelings and even spending time with her knowing that there are feelings there at all. He’s a married man. He might not be on the right side of his marriage with Brooke right now, but he is still married. There is no excuse for the fact that he is married, he is with another woman, and he should not be with Shauna. He needs to back off from this, move on, and be with someone who is a little more appropriate for him. He won’t, though.
