Sorry, double posted by accident.

Yeah I'm not Brad's biggest fan by any means but he really needs to explain what happened there and what his thought process was not allowing wrong assumptions to go as fact
Did Brad go straight to Lauren first or to Terese, I think it was Lauren
Oh I know, it's just that some on here think Brad's evil for not rescuing Terese. I believe he was going back for her anyway.Quote:

Whereas Sonya was willing to practically die with Toadie if that's what it meant.
Yes but Toadie and Sonya are together and in love with no one else involved..... bit of a difference.......Quote:

I agree. He's not Superman, nor does he have fireproof clothing.Quote:

He was with Therese for a long time and they have kids together, he's not just going to abandon her when she's in danger like that. Brad can be a fool sometimes, but I don't think he could be that cruel.Quote:

And now it looks like he is going to try and re-establish some sort of relationship with Terese. A guy with morals? Don't think so.
They make him out to be a saint on the show, but his history and current actions say otherwise. He just seems like he can never be content with what he has.
And don't even get me started on Paige, it seems she got a lot of her selfish genes from her father.
Terese did push him into Lauren's arms.Quote:

Brad is being made out to be a poor long-suffering husband driven into the arms of his teenage sweetheart by his nagging shrew of a wife. Rubbish! The reality is that Brad is a long-time serial cheater and selfish idiot. He lost his job as gym manager due to teaching yoga on the side to pay for a private detective to find Paige-he kept that from Terese, also Lauren. It was Terese who made him tell Lauren. When Susan offered him a teaching job, for which he was qualified, he whinged about how he never wanted to be a teacher and had been previously pushed into it by Terese (ignoring the fact that someone clearly needed to have steady job earning money as Terese couldn't work for a while after she had the twins). Presumably he had to also pay child support for Ned-so studying marine biology wasn't gonna cut it. He could have done this part time or at night, but he didn't. So Terese had to tell him how it was and that their lifestyle and kids cost money-so basically take the job and be grateful. Then when he started to make surfboards again Terese supported him and she (and Paige, might I add!) tried to help him turn it into a business, so he could live his dream and make money at the same time. He wouldn't have had to teach if he did that, but he refused, as it was too much like hard work! Then he continually put Paige and Lauren first and whinged about Terese to them. Also, he glossed over the fact that Terese was really hurt by Paige trying to push him and Lauren together, didn't accept that Paige was a manipulative brat, and displayed a total lack of understanding about her feeling threatened and wanting Paige to leave with Mary. Then, when Terese developed a drinking problem due to the stress he caused her, he again whinged to Lauren, showed only a token amount of support to Terese and used the fact that she didn't attend her AA meeting as an excuse to storm out and sleep with Lauren. Oh yeah, poor Brad. What a prince 😂Quote:

Terese isn't perfect, but she can't be blamed for her husband choosing to cheat! Along with Paige's manipulation and Brad and Lauren refusal to see Paige's true colours, no wonder Terese turned to drink, no one believed her when she said Paige was manipulative.
What about all the other times Brad cheated? Was he pushed into those womens arms too? Including when he cheated on Lauren? Was that Lauren's fault?
Brad thinks Terese gave him a rough deal by (like Sparklydee said) supporting his surf board dream and getting him into a steady job to support his family.
Nope, sorry, don't think so.
No one forced him to cheat, he made that decision himself.
I don´t have a problem with people falling out of love with their partners .. it happens, for a variety of reasons. But I believe that if you are attracted to somebody else, clearly there are issues in the current relationship and you need to sit down with your partner to discuss things. Sometimes things can be worked out and the attraction to somebody else goes .. if things can´t be worked out then finish your existing relationship before moving on! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...mbs-737311.gif
I'm sorry but Terese was right in her paranoia over Brad and Lauren, Lauren has wanted Brad since he moved next door so Terese didn't push them together and Brad will go with anyone boosting his ego and Paige was pulling strings also to get her real parents together :angry:Quote:

Her woman/mother instincts kicked in to see the threat - so like anyone under stress the barriers went up and the questions started to be asked ...... but like any one (so called "pushed") they run away and say its your fault you pushed me ...... in reality it is usually cos they wont own up, acknowledge or deal with the concerning issues .... Brad wanted the soft cushy life (like he had with Terese for 20 years as she was the high earner) .... as Terese was making him question his actions ..... she forced him out of his comfort zone ..... and his rebellion was to run ..... certainly not pushed .....
If you feel like you're being pushed / running away from a relationship, it's usually because there's something wrong with it.
Preach! He was not pushed into anyone arms. He went to Lauren willingly. Like i've said so many times, Terese wasn't perfect but Brad is not one to be easily satisfied (proved by his inability to stay monogamous to any woman he has been with).Quote:

Yes but you do not have to run straight into the arms of another then blame your partner for making you do it! If something is wrong in the relationship there is usually fault on both sides and the mature thing is to sit down and talk it out, then decide what to do. You don't rush into the arms of someone else, claiming your partner drove you to it-that's just an excuse to justify bad behaviour. Although Brad is not mature and never will be.Quote:

It's certainly possible to push someone away with unreasonable behaviour, but - as other posters have pointed out - if you no longer love someone you ought to end the relationship before starting another.
Terese even gave Brad the opportunity to leave her when they separated for a while and she moved into Lassiters for several weeks. He chose not to.
Unless Terese physically took Brad over to Laurens bed and told them to sleep together, she can't be blamed for Brad CHOOSING to cheat.
If he wanted to be with Lauren so badly, do the decent thing and tell Terese and end things before moving on...
Cheating can't ever be justified in my eyes and in my opinion, people defending Brad and blaming Terese are justifying cheating...
who said he didn't care LOL.... he TRIED to move the locker.... did you actually watch it???Quote:
