'Respect Her!' Lala Slams Jax Over Brittany Relationship During Wild Birthday Blowout

Jax Taylor's birthday trip to Mexico ended with a brutal bashing on the latest episode of Vanderpump Rules.
Trying to change his life, Taylor turned to his Reki therapist Kelsey — and girlfriend Brittany Cartwright was not happy.
After Taylor called the session the "highlight of his week," Cartwright couldn't "help but feel just a little bit jealous" about the attractive redhead her beau was so infatuated with.
"I always have the best days when I see her," Taylor gushed about his therapist. Regardless, Cartwright plowed ahead with the birthday trip, a decision which even Lisa Vanderpump questioned.
"Why do you feel the need to make everything better and celebrate his birthday right now when he's treated you like crap? Why don't you make him suffer?" she asked Cartwright.
"You really need to look out for yourself in this situation," Vanderpump warned.
"Why Brittany continues to put up with all of Jax' BS is quite possibly something I will never understand," Vanderpump later told the cameras.
The SUR employees then took off to a luxurious Playa del Carmen resort, where they watched fireworks explode as they celebrated Taylor's birthday.
"I would love to go to Mexico and have it be one big happy trip but that's just not our group," Taylor groused.
Taylor and his topless girlfriend started off the trip with a dip in their private pool and then talk about his job offer in Tampa again, with Taylor insisting that he was ready to leave West Hollywood, SUR and the reality show lifestyle.
"I'm burnt the f**k out of the constant battling. It's stuck in my chest. I'm ready for something else," he told his girlfriend.
The whole group had dinner together — and that was where the fighting began.
Taylor pulled Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval aside to tell them what he had already told his girlfriend: He was offered a job with a hockey team in Tampa, Florida and he really wanted to take it.
"I'm very happy for Tom and Tom and I'm a little jealous," Taylor said about their new bar business. "I'm living this Peter Pan existence," and he was ready for a change.
"Wait. Does this mean you wouldn't be my neighbor?" said a surprised Schwartz.
"I've known him for 15 years," Sandoval said, and reminisced about his wild days. "I don't want the band to break up."
But Taylor seemed ready to go. "We've got to grow up," he told the guys. "I'm 38. I don't have a college education. What am I going to do?"
"Dude, don't ever say you're 40 again," Sandoval joked.
Cartwright told the girls and James Kennedy about Taylor's job offer and they ripped into him.
"I'll believe when I see it," Katie Maloney said. "Have they ever given him a spelling test?"
