The first few months were bearable, however we needed to be together to really build a foundation. It wasn’t something we could do with 11 other women in the picture. It was frustrating that we couldn’t really be in each other’s lives like a normal couple. It saddens me, that he doesn’t even know most of my friends or family, yet he was my fiancé at one point? We have been together most of the time since filming wrapped in August, but decided about halfway through the show airing that there were a lot of hardships being apart/in hiding for so long and that maybe it was best if we went separate ways.

It's possible that Ben was "smitten" with Angela, but I never got the impression that she was in love with him. I really believe that Angela went on the Show to promote herself and to win Ben.

Agreed. Ben seems naive to me. :strings1

And Angela definitely played him like a fiddle. giggling

I can't get over " the first few months were bearable ". Who says that about a new relationship with someone they claim to be in love with.

I think we're underestimating how difficult it is to have a relationship and be undercover. I was a little skeptical, but after the proposal on RFL, I'm convinced there were serious feelings there.

Breakups are rough on everyone. Just because someone seizes a good opportunity doesn't mean that was their intention, going into a situation.

They stayed together until halfway through the season airing. Hmmm, I wonder if it became a jealousy-trust issue when Angela saw some of the episodes.

Yes you could be right, Angela got jealous while watching the show while Ben developing some strong relationships with other women. As we all know jealousy is one of the most common reasons for break ups specially on reality dating shows like Bachelor. Unless the girl is like Catherine :Smiley: ( Sean is so lucky to have her ) High clap

I remember one of Ben's interviews that he said he wants someone that really trust him.

To be honest, if I were the F1, I don't think I could watch the show once it aired. I am not jealous in everyday life, but watching the person I am with make out with other women..... And be very open about having feelings for them as well. I know that is what these shows are all about, but watching would be HARD!

It probably was around the time that Allie and Ben were in the garden and he told Allie he is falling in love with her also. To me that was so emotional, as a viewer , I thought Allie was the one. That would be hard to handle especially 1) if Angela thought she and Ben were sharing such a great connection and 2) they are not seeing each other that frequently building a relationship after the show has ended. Dear I say it, he should have heeded Jake's advice to him Smiley

Iamreal2u, I vaguely recall Jake putting in his 2 cents, but don't remember what he said, or where to go find it. Would you mind telling me what he said? thx!

And yes, I agree about Allie. Even some of the things he said about his connection and chemistry with Kari would have made me suspicious of whether he feels for me as deeply as needed for us to have a 'forever relationship,' if I were Angela.
