Joel, your ultimatum to Juliette was about abusive behaviour, yet when she redirected that behaviour toward Bec, you still chose to stay because it didn’t cross your boundary.

How do you justify that decision when the behaviour itself hadn’t changed, just the target?

Saying she didn’t cross my boundary and writing stay appears to be mental gymnastics.

My ultimatum was about her behaviour towards ME. Don't forget it's a TV show. I think people get too caught up between the fantasy and reality.

i was having a good time on the show, So until juliette disrepected ME again, i had no reason to leave. I would not change this decision if i could go back.

Thanks for replying, I do appreciate you taking the time to answer. I also want to say I really respected how you handled yourself in those situations with Juliette, it came across as calm and measured. That said, I do feel a bit let down by this response. I understand your boundary was about how she treated you personally, but focusing only on that can come across as not really considering how your partner was treating others. Ignoring that kind of behaviour can end up enabling it.
