The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

That's why people like Phyllis who live in glass towers, should not throw stones - as she's always readily doing to others.

The thing is, I think that ever since Nick's amnesia subsided he's slowly been reflecting on his life. I think he really started reflecting more since Paris, and while his behaviour in the past few months has been inexcusable, I think Nick has been doing nothing but self-reflecting since he "came to his senses" and "woke up", hence why he chose to be with the love of his life and be with the woman he never stopped loving. He knew it would hurt Phyllis and Summer, but people get hurt when there's a divorce - a sad fact. Yet he said he wouldn't apologize for wanting to be with the love of his life(Sharon) because the alternative was to remain in a marriage he wasn't commited to - just for the sake of not breaking up another family and he said he'd rather spend the rest of his life alone in a hotel room than do that . I think that was a brave and courageous move on Nick's part because ultimately, staying in a marriage "just to keep the family together" is a recipe for disaster and misery for all involved, when your heart isn't fully in it. No, I think Nick did a fair amount of self-reflection and hence why he's so devastated right now by both circumstances - Summer's illness and the paternity of Sharon's child.

It's the other characters involved in this s/l mess who need to take their blinders off now too, as Nick has done (for now anyway).

hahaha...very funny. Why would ANY MAN doubt sweet, honest and ANGELIC Sharon.

I think that's why her lie is so effective...no one doubts she's telling the truth, because she isn't known to be a liar or a manipulator - like others.

Yeah, I think it's clear Sharon wasn't thinking about herself here. If that were the case, she would have told Nick the truth because she wanted to be with Nick and wouldn't care that his other kid(?) was lying in a coma. If she were truly thinking of just herself, she wouldn't have factored in Phyllis or Summer at all. So that statement just isn't true, IMO. If anything, Sharon's quest to protect Nick at all costs , is extremely short-sighted, not selfish. She's not looking at the consequences of her lie and her decision is actually cruel to both Nick and Jack in particular. I hate that she's done this and won't pretend otherwise because it is so out of character to the point it's not believable. But there is no way I will ever agree that Sharon operates out of selfishness, especially in this case. I wish, in fact, Sharon was a little bit more selfish and thought of herself and what she wants first, like so many of the other characters do. Seems the motto on this show is if you're selfish and self-centred, you get what you want. Those who are self-sacrificing and considerate never can be happy.

How did this subject turn over to something negative about Phyllis she is not lusting over the wonderful life she would have if her daughter wasnt lying in a coma like Nick is!!!

I love Nick prayer show me a human side to him,and not some
woman love stick.
