Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - #5

IMO this Nashville trip is Lauren's first girls trip this year.. The trip referred to above was  when she stayed in LA for a few extra days after the Shelift event. IMO plus everything Amanda has mentioned on her insta live her breakup with Josh was very difficult for her and Lauren had been a good friend and support to her and the kids (On one of the days Lauren and Amanda went shopping with Kins). They weren't partying, rather they relaxed, had sushi by the pool, played games etc IMO the purpose was to have fun (From her snaps it looks like they did).

Besides Lauren's birthday is coming up it could possibly another reason why she's seems to be doing this trip. IMO as mentioned several times Lauren didn't post much of her Nashville trip on her snap (mainly posted by others).

Some thing new. Her friend Whitney is in Denver. It's on Whitney's Instagram. OK do things don't look so good to me. She goes out last Saturday with her Denver friends, her friend Ceyla came down Monday and stayed all night with her and Ben. They watched the bachelor together then Ben goes to Florida on a business trip, Lauren goes on a girls trip,, Lauren on her way home Ben is out skiing now her friend Whitney is there. They haven't been alone in a week. If that doesn't say something is not right then I need to go out my head in the sand. So to speak. Lol. I agree they both need to figure things out And fast. This is really the first time they've been able to be free because of the HEA show. ETS hope their love for each other can out last this. I do think Ben is a little immature. If I remember correctly at the end of their interview at the Shelift he said to everybody watching the interview don't forget about us. He's not wanting to let go of the attention it seems. Although he posted that pic of him kissing Lauren on the cheek 3 days ago and he could have picked another photo so who knows. Hoping they make it!

@clobrown that means she would rather spend her birthday with her friends than Ben which is bad **IMO***

@Edgarretana10 I'm not saying that at all. IMO at this point there is nothing that confirms whether she would be spending her birthday with Ben or not... IMO for all we know he may be working during the week and has a plans with her over the weekend or maybe he's actually with her on the day... no one really knows.

@mamahamme how do you know whitney is in denver

I find it odd. Nothing wrong with spending time with friends but her relationship with Ben should be her priority. Three friends trips in one month seems excessive for an engaged woman in my opinion. ETA- I just noticed the post above saying that she will be spending her birthday with friends now too. First Christmas and now her birthday. Doesn't look good.

@sparkler agree and Ben doesn't seem to have a problem from what it looks like it if not she would stop doing them

It's on Whitney's Instagram. It's where her pic is at the top with the red circle around it. I clicked it and she said she was was in Denver and then Lauren has has the same on her Instagram with them in the car playing the radio.

@sparkler nobody knows who she is spending her birthday with. She has never said what her plans are.

@mamahamme I promise I don't mean to sound harsh but IMO you're reading way too much into it, IMO I don't think it's that deep.

IMO there is no doubt they are trying to navigate life now (so are the rest of us though) but at the same time IMO it seems like they are just trying to enjoy their lives. IMO Whitney and Megan are Lauren's best friends and have blended very well into Ben's crew too.. I wouldn't say either ladies being in town is a red flag. Yesterday Ben liked Megan's baby announcement on twitter, he calls Ceyla his goddaughter... if there were problems I doubt he would be doing that. IMO they may not have been together but we don't know if they were chatting everyday or if their relationship is her priority or not... IMO you can't get the full picture going by SM alone there is so much room for speculations based on very little info.

@clobrown did Lauren like ben last instagram picture with her

@Edgarretana10 Honestly I have no idea.
