Yeah right now it seems Lauren's priorities are with Amanda and Ben is suddenly cute all over their Instagram. If ever I thought he was in the dog house it would be right now. We shall see.

@sosleepy it seems that Lauren would rather be in L.A. with Amanda than be in her home in Denver where she hasn't been in close to a month

Are we sure she really considers that "home"? Idk why she would. IMO.

@Alanna that what she says in every interview home

To be fair, I can't imagine being a Cali girl living that fun beach life, picking up my life and moving to Denver with boring Ben. Talk about a shock to the system. IMO

Not defending Lauren or saying there is or isn't anything wrong between them.  But Amanda is finally rid of Josh and can go out and do whatever she wants without worrying he'll flip is lid and go off on her about something stupid.  So, I can see her wanting to spend a little time with her girls, especially with Lauren while she's in town.  Or even convince Lauren to stay a couple extra days. 

Now if Lauren doesn't head back soon and continues to stay and hang out with the girls for a while longer or goes back to her parents, or something else instead of going home to Ben in Denver, then I'd definitely think something was up.  If she's staying to take hangout before posing for more modeling pics or do work for AA or something like that then, I could see it. Instead of back and forth.  As always...time will tell.

oh God! Really?! Now am embarrassed. Sorry
I saw the link on twitter. Just clicked the photos of Lauren, didn't mind the other pic.  

Yes I clicked on the other pictures of Lauren and Amanda to make them bigger. And Porn advertisements came popped up.

I think their main reasons for their troubles is Ben because of changing his mind that he would marry Lauren tomorrow and then he cancels the wedding that the show was going to paid for it. Ben seems a lot insecure

Ohhh. I didn't even clicked the photos is what I meant. I can already see the whole gallery by scrolling the whole page. But then again, I apologize.

^^ Yeah, totally agree @Ladybug82.

Lauren staying in LA for a few days to be there for Bestie Amanda is not unusual. She goes to LA for a few days at a time on the regular and always has. I think she'll go back to Denver shortly here. And if not, then I'll throw up the red flags. This on its own is not very unusual behavior for Lauren.

We know for sure they had a hard fall. They have stated, transparently, the show was hard on them. We know they are having a hard time cause they TOLD US. They stated after being chained to the hip doing the show they needed to make a conscience effort for a little separation time. That's ok. For me, they still seemed very relaxed and happy in all those interviews. They even seemed to have more concrete/transparent answers about the wedding (Lauren stating planning starts now and Ben saying to be either married in 2017 or have concrete plans for when that happens was his 2017 goal.) The stupid like from Amanda's dad not withstanding , everyone else talks positively and warmly about them. They are still liking each other's pics, commenting and being flirty. Lauren in general seems REALLY happy right now hanging with her girls. Would she be this happy with huge problems with Ben brewing? I guess for me, Lauren being in LA right now is not very huge red flag worthy.

I disagree with this statement mainly because I've been in Lauren's shoes. I moved away from my friends and family to be with my boyfriend who is now my husband. When you get in a serious relationship or engaged, your friend life tends to suffer and in Lauren's case all of her old friends do not live in Denver. I've done it as well, and then I made a conscious effort to try to be a better friend after the honeymoon phase was over because YES I missed my friends. Lauren and Ben can love one another and be committed to one another and still have time apart to see friends, especially because Lauren's friends do not live in Denver. Maybe Ben even encourages this for all we know.

TBH, I'm kind of shocked at so many women's negative views of Lauren not being at Ben's side every day of the week. Women should not give up their friends for a man. Ben and her spent 7 days together, what's so wrong with her spending 3'days with Amanda when Lauren essentially doesn't "need" to be in Denver for a job. JMO.
