Ashley and JP seem happy and that is all that matters. JMO

I almost added the same thing to the end of my post. They certainly don't need their "blessing."

Yes you're right. I guess Dino is only looking out for his bromance, how sweet. Do you think they also hold each others' hair back when they barf? :hidingchair

IF and only IF they are a true bromance the answer to your question is yes, of course they do! They also have to make each other friendship bracelets, brush each others hair before bed time during slumber parties, and last but certainly not least they have to date the same girl for a series of weeks but neither can marry said girl.. if they don't follow these rules I refuse to call them a bromance.

This is what I was thinking as well. I mean, at this point he's been without Ashely longer than he was with her. I just find it hard to believe he would still be bitter. I think he might be still playing the upset and jilted F2 in order to set him up for The Bachelor. It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me, but it makes more sense than him still not being over it. JMHO...

I have a difficult time believing he's still bitter and not over it too. But aren't most of the Bachelors over it by the time their seasons start? I mean, who would want to pursue a man who's still bent out of shape about being dumped months earlier?

All of that said, I don't really care. Ben and Constantine are going on with their lives, and I'm pretty sure JP and Ashley aren't sitting around wondering whether they wish them well. Everybody wins.

At this point, I also question whether Ben would honestly be happier if Ashley had chosen him, in which case he'd be conducting a long-distance relationship with her (if it hadn't already ended), as opposed to being the object of millions of women's affections, being able to travel unencumbered and hang out with his bros, and being courted for the next lead.

lol. speaking of the Bromance. Ashley Spivey is having fun with the guys on twitter. Mickey said he rubbed Ben's feet last night. And then Ben tweeted to Ashley they were so fresh and clean.

AshleySpivey @ So let me get this straight...@BenFlajnik washes his feet and then @RyanMickMcLean rubs them? Is @contzor filming this?

Personally... I'd be bitter... and you'd play hell getting a 'it all worked out for the good and best wishes for their future' out of ME, either... If she gave him sufficient reason to actually BELIEVE he was the one, and he took the leap of faith on that assurance, only to be absolutely blindsided at the end, then damned right he might still be bitter about it.

ETA: ...and seeing them paraded around as America's sweethearts wouldn't help ease the pain much either...

Even if you had Britt and Jennifer Love Hewitt in your lap as a result?

They might serve as an ibuprofen for a while... but once they wore off, back to the pain... lol

Constantine: We all respect Ashley. She was put in a very difficult decision and in the end everything worked out for the best. As of now we aren't in contact with her and JP [her fiance], as they are probably overwhelmed with attention.
We do wish them the best and hope they have a wonderful life together

Sorry, but why was he using "we" all the time? Was he being Ben's mouthpiece? Continuing the bromance I guess.

"As of now we aren't in contact with her and JP" followed by a lame excuse. It's not that hard to send either a tweet or a DM.

And technically, he's wrong. Mickey and JP have spoken on the phone and have been tweeting each other, haven't they?

I don't think he is talking about Micki with the "we", just he and Ben. Micki has talked to JP on the phone and tweeted congrats, and many other times. In fact he is heading to NYC very soon.

Yes you're right. I guess Dino is only looking out for his bromance, how sweet. Do you think they also hold each others' hair back when they barf? :hidingchair
