[Vicky.]

Yes. he is in a horrible horrible situation. He really can't do right for doing wrong here. His options are

1. Completely **** her off. Come across a douche on TV, risk being hated for not comforting the poor woman who is desperate for his dick.

2. Do what he is doing now, which seems to be ignoring the situation as much as he can and hoping it goes away. Short of her being evicted on friday, this isn't happening

3. Get back together with her on the show, **** her off on the outside. Risk the stories being sold about how he used her and/or has trouble getting shot of her again.

4. Get back together with her on the show, continue the relationship outside despite not wanting to...and go through what he went through the first time. We don't know quite how toxic the relationship was, but its quite easy to guess from the snippets we have

He tried option 5 already by saying they would talk outside but there is no relationship in the house. this was ignored.
