WATCH: 'The Bachelorette' week 3 recap

This past week, Parker tried to have bachelorette Hannah Brown all to himself, but things didn't go so well for him.

The guys were clearly upset with him, as was Hannah, who took him aside to tell him he was getting a little too “cocky” about the progression of their relationship and to give the other guys a chance.

Though he said he was ready to leave the show, he made it to next week.

I just want to address the elephant in the room here really quick. First I want you all to know how hard it has been for me to watch myself this season so far. Regardless of what is aired AND IF @alabamahannah and I are together or not my behavior in all situations has been and will continue to be exposed. I have learned a lot and I am continuing to learn about my flaws as a man. I’m the first to admit I am far from perfect. This journey has giving me a great opportunity to grow and mature as a man, for that I am grateful. For those of you who are on this journey with me I am grateful for your support and hope you get to learn and grow from my mistakes with me!
