I wonder if he'd be more ready if he found a more suitable partner and not a vapid idiot. IMO.

Maybe Ben has decided to give a big eff you to trolls and sm. Maybe he doesn't feel the need to validate their relationship with long sappy posts on sm, which him and Lauren have both never done, so why start now just to try to appease trolls on sm (and to clarify, I am not referring to anyone in here , but the many trolls that comment and harass them daily on their sm accounts) and then be accused of putting up a front? IMO, for months now, they have been accused of putting on a facade. If they are still together in 6 months, the same accusations and nitpicking will still keep onIMO. They have even been accused of potentially just getting married to prove people wrong, and are settling. It really makes me wonder how long do they have to be together before their relationship is "real?" All just my thoughts/ opinions while playing catchup.

Connecting flight. She just IG'ed again, she's on the plane. Denver, she goes, I'm guessing.

And Ben is in Colorado? Or did I understand it wrong?

I was always baffled at that HEA clip from AFTR, was Ben really picking a fight over Lauren saying 'Yeah, you did fine' and wanted more praise for his 10 second comment? Added the home depot fight over paint colours, I think he's a very moody and needy man. An adult man needs to be talked off the ledge when he doesn't get enough fangirling?
