Jax Taylor was seen breaking up with Brittany Cartwright and telling her that he needed to focus on himself during Monday night’s episode of Vanderpump Rules.
While Brittany opted to stick by her man, despite his admitted infidelity earlier in the season, Jax ultimately decided it would be good for them both to part ways and broke his girlfriend’s heart yet again. And now, Jax is revealing why he decided to dump Brittany.
Jax, 38, explained that due to his dad’s dwindling health and his troubles with Brittany, he wasn’t in a great place mentally at the time. As fans may know, Jax’s father passed away at the end of last year.
He tweeted, “To be honest I was at the bottom of the barrel, lost, insecure my father was dying ..I hated myself and I thought it was the right thing to do because I was bringing her down. I am not perfect and I will never be but I am working very hard on myself.”

While things between the couple were quite tense throughout the sixth season of Vanderpump Rules, their recent on-screen split apparently didn’t last as Jax is also confirming they are back on.
Cont… I realized later that @BNCartwright is my angel and she makes me want to be a better man. We are in a great place now the best we have ever been, but it takes work, just know that I am working hard and thank you to all who watch. ????

So how does Brittany feel about being dumped by Jax after putting up with so much? Not surprisingly, she wasn’t happy about it.
In a recent podcast interview with The Daily Dish, she admits she wishes she had been the one to do the dumping rather than Jax.
“I do [wish I had dumped him] now because of how he embarrassed me so bad, but I just — I don’t know. I just wasn’t in that head space. It’s hard to explain because I was going through so many emotions,” shared Brittany.
While Brittany reveals she’s “much happier” these days, she does regret not taking more time to process her emotions after Jax cheated with Faith Stowers.

“I didn’t really take time for myself after everything happened over the summer, like, after he cheated and everything,” she explained. “I really didn’t have time to just even get away from him.” This created a lot of confusing feelings for the Kentucky native. “I still wanted him to be around,” she admitted. “I just felt very betrayed, betrayed after everything, of course, this summer that had happened.”
Vanderpump Rules season six airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo TV.
