The problem for me is that she didn't accept the consequences.  Admittedly, I think she didn't say it was an absolute dealbreaker, but instead that she would have problems continuing the relationship, but I'm not sure that's better.  It's like, "These are my standards, and I will not countenance your violating them...unless you can talk me into it." 

But even that is unclear to me.  Let's put aside the fact that she showed up at the Tripartite rose ceremony to save Peter from Victoria F.  She did leave and we have no idea what it is that the Chris Harrison said or did to get her to show up to be barbecued by Barb.  It didn't look like either Peter or Madison were really into it that night and allegedly she came back to see if they could work it out.  But as far as we know it was never because Peter talked her into it.  Instead I see someone caught with the bachelor whirlpool getting pulled back in.  Now if she shows up on BIP that would be different.  Only Colton is allowed to do that after declaring that he has standards.

Totally agree with you here. I was disappointed in her. I could have managed some kind of discussion along the lines of . . . I’m willing to explore this relationship more and see if we can resolve the obvious differences in our standards for sexual conduct but I most certainly will not entertain becoming engaged to be married until that issue is resolved. 
 

More cynical me says her standards were important enough to put them out there but not when they became inconvenient.

My unusually less cynical take is that she kept convincing herself (or Harrison convinced here) that he loved her enough to behave according to her standards but after 3 1/2 hours without cameras realized that he couldn't.

Or maybe she realized the sweaty porcupine cheeked human hamster boy, with the family encouraged carnal drive of a buck rabbit in the spring, just wasn't such a worthwhile 1st place Grand Prize, to be the winner of. 

Yeah, I'm feeling snarky. Must be the cabin fever already setting in.

Colton has just announced on Twitter that he tested positive for Covid19. He is recovering at Cassie's parents' house.
