Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - #4

No Problem @newt It was funny I wasn't expecting that. I just thought I would be able to see the pic better.

It was funny though. I had a good laugh.

@FMG2015 the thing is they should be spending more time together getting to know each other as a couple *IMO* instead they are apart we know that their relationship isn't great since the cancellation of the wedding

Goodness I hope Ben can survive the week .

I think they will figure it out. They are both good people. They are still learning about each other and about themselves. Throw in some reality shows, social media nonsense and it can make any one crazy. Just ask Kailtlyn (I love Kaitlyn just poking fun at her)

They just need some time to figure it all out.

But that happened in September. They went on vacation together spent thanksgiving week together, and to Honduras where Ben said his heart "soared" watching Lauren work down there. They've stated it was hard watching it all back on their show and they needed time for themselves. Negativity and press were at an all time high, and their social media usage decreased. They told us they would be spending Christmas apart. They both spent time with eachothers families and Lauren's family have shown no tension with Ben on social media. IMO, I see no MAJOR red flags just some regret from doing the show and not prioritizing their relationship.

Lets be real guys I love them as a couple but no one is going to be shocked if they decide to go their separate ways?

When it comes to this franchise I would not be shocked if Chris Manson ended up fathering twin monkey's.

I'm not a fan, nor do I dislike them.... Kind of neutral, like this vanilla (IMO) couple.  

What about the saying... Abscence makes the heart grow fonder.     Maybe a little time apart, even though they've been apart already some during the holidays will help.  

I admit I found the time apart during the holidays odd, but whatever works for them.  And they did seem like a united front in the most recent interviews.  While it does seem strange for her to say she hoped they go home Ina couple days and he did and she stayed.... It could be nothing more than time with the girls.  That is good and healthy for all us to spend time with friends, IMO.  Even if they aren't girls, I personally would want to spend time with.  

IMO, some time apart is good and healthy.  You should not have to be together 24/7 to prove your relationship is healthy and your in love and devoted, unless your dating BOR or someone with similar issues, IMO of course.  

JMOAA

She hasn't been home in awhile because she's spent time with Ben's family and her own family. Now she's spending time with her friend who just broke up with her b/f.

The worse thing a couple can do is spend 24/7 together IMO. They each need to take time to do their own thing with their own friends IMHO.

I personally don't see the rush to get married and I don't see them breaking up any time soon. If there were problems, IMO Lauren wouldn't be out and about having fun with Amanda.

@GuardianAngel well Amanda just ended her engagement and she is having fun

I'll never believe that Amanda was *ever* as attached to Josh or as invested in him and their relationship as Lauren has been with Ben.

I wouldn't compare Amanda's relationship with Josh and Ben and Lauren's relationship. That relationship was over a long time ago IMHO. She's probably glad to be single again after what they went through. I would be. Ben posted this on the latest picture. Lauren has posted pics of them together in the last couple of days. If there was trouble and Lauren was out partying because she's single I don't think she'd be posting pics of her and Ben together IMHO.

higgins.benHow can I get your number? I would love to take you out sometime to shop for groceries
