If you feel like you're being pushed / running away from a relationship, it's usually because there's something wrong with it.

[LauBuch]

When I hear the phrase "pushed in to someone's arms" - I always think that the perpetrator is just running away - not being pushed. For example Terese's assumptions on Lauren and Paige were correct. 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 .....

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).
People blaming Terese for cheating need to question how they view cheating...
If someone I was dating cheated on me and said it was my fault they cheated in the first place...I'd struggle not to physically hurt them.

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.

They have talked, many times.

It's not possible to push someone into another's arms. That implies they aren't autonomous human beings capable of making their own decisions.

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.

[LauBuch]

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...

They have 3 kids together and 20 years worth of history, I think that's more than enough reason to care.

who said he didn't care LOL.... he TRIED to move the locker.... did you actually watch it???
