"Bachelorette" star Luke Parker is addressing his behavior on the show and "the elephant in the room," the contestant wrote on Instagram.

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.

On Tuesday, he wrote, "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."

The "will continue" caught fans' attention, who now know there's more to come.

"I have learned a lot and I am continuing to learn about my flaws as a man," Parker added. "I’m the first to admit I am far from perfect. This journey has giving [sic] me a great opportunity to grow and mature as a man, for that I am grateful."

He closed by promising "to learn and grow from my mistakes" on the show and beyond.

Parker, an import/export manager from Gainesville, Georgia, is one of 15 men remaining on the show.

Only time will tell how this unfolds as "The Bachelorette" returns Monday night on ABC.
