Not always a "happily ever after" ending

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are struggling in their marriage, despite it being less than a year after tying the knot.

Before the wedding bells rang, the couple had overcome infidelity problems - or so they thought. Despite navigating through the affair as a couple, and going through with the wedding, Taylor finds himself struggling to settle down.

 

As we see on Vanderpump Rules this season, Taylor frequently lashes out at friends and those that are trying to support him, including his southern belle, Cartwright. 

On Tuesday's episode, tensions rise when Taylor rage texts his co-stars on who can - and can't - attend his pool party. This results in Tom Sandoval throwing a party at the exact same time for those uninvited.

"This whole thing is petty. Jax, I just can't help but feel like if you wouldn't have done that stupid rage text that you sent to Max, none of this would have happened," Cartwright admits to her hubby.

"I love that this is all my fault," Jax argues. "I'm gonna go to the gym." 

In a confessional, Taylor admits that it was the third time going to the gym that day, to avoid confrontations at home. He says that it's to make sure he doesn't say something he'll regret, but to his wife, it's a painful reminder of how he avoided her, before sleeping with a SUR waitress.

"I feel like when Jax did cheat on me, I didn't see very much of him, or he would try to be gone from the house a lot," Cartwright says in a confessional.

"It just almost feels a little repetitive of things that we've been through in the past. I don't want it to ever get that bad again," she continued.

Taylor also admits, "I've got a beautiful wife, a beautiful home. And on paper, I look like I hit the lottery. But I'm still not happy."

"I'm scared," Jax says. "I'm emotional as f—, and I feel like I'm gonna take it out on Brittany."

New episodes of Vanderpump Rules air every Tuesday.
