Jack has totally frozen out Phyllis since he learned she was having an affair on The Young and the Restless.

Jack (Peter Bergman) and Phyllis’ love story came to an abrupt end when she cheated on him with his brother, Billy. Phyllis has profusely apologized, insisting that she truly loves Jack and wants to make their marriage work. She’s begged her husband to give her a second chance. Jack has been adamant that they can’t get past this. Soap Hub asked how you thought Jack should handle the situation.

Forget Her
Sleeping with Billy (Jason Thompson) was the ultimate betrayal, and 59% of you think Jack should forget his adulterous wife. Not only did Phyllis break Jack’s heart, but she totally embarrassed him. He feels like a complete fool. There’s no coming back from this, nor can their marriage be saved.

Forgive Her
Granted, what Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) did was horrible, but 34% of you believe she is remorseful and does truly loves Jack. That’s why you want him to forgive her. You realize it will take time and lots of it, but the bottom line is Jack and Phyllis belong together. Case closed.

Demote Her
Jack kowtowed to Phyllis’ demands and let her keep her job at Jabot to get her to agree to a divorce. Then, he stuck her in an office the size of a shoe box and buried her in paperwork. Some 7% of you think Jack needs to take things a step further and demote her to the bottom of the company. A stint in the mail room would be the perfect payback for his cheating wife.
