Well she also took Ben that time so different circumstances

Well, it was a free, sponsored trip for them so she kind of had to Alanna

My own personal opinion, I never get used to the cold and I've always lived in it. I would never wear good jewellery on vacation, and I don't have a NL.

IDK I see nothing wrong with them. They are doing their own thing. it seems they've had lots of things planned since filming ended. They were constantly together since his season ended. Maybe they are regrouping and trying to get back to normal. Doing what they want to do whether it's together or not. I see nothing wrong with that. Maybe this was planned for awhile, maybe Ben couldn't go maybe it's just a girls trip, lots of maybe's.

If there were issues, I don't think we'd see Lauren on SM or at least her SM would indicate she wasn't happy.

I'm sure the ring will eventually pop up. She loves that thing. She does a hand pose in a lot of her pics to indirectly show it off IMO

IMO Ben doing a 180 re getting married a few times on her has takrn its toll on Lauren. IMO she's had her friends supporting her for a reason. IMO Ben rechanged his mind again sbout getting married after the finale, and IMO he's not even ready to live together. It's not wrong, if that's how he feels, but Lauren hanging out with her friends and sister as s result isn't wrong either. JMO.

She shared all the details on her blog promoting the resort and Lauren and Ben shared over 12 pictures of their trip (I just counted) combined and they tagged the resort and every caption read as if they were a tour guide. The resort shared pictures of them as well and were promoting it. You don't do that kind of advertising and promoting on both ends of it's not a sponsored trip, IMO.

That's a good thing, loving her engagement ring and happily showing it off.

I'm taking back my comment a bit, IMO Lauren wouldn't casually take off her ring on sm, if they were having break up trouble. JMO.

@Ash2214 thanks for the info.

I don't think it's that abnormal to spend time apart, although being more on the new relationship side than the old makes it questionable. My sister and brother-in-law have great friends who are married and live in separate states! They have no kids, and love their lives the way it is. He likes to travel and she doesn't. They are retired and spend one week together and one week apart. It's just what the two people in the relationship want and what is normal to them.

I also don't wear any jewelry on vacation, so would see nothing wrong with not wearing a 3 or 4 carat diamond ring to a place I'm not that familiar with.

Time will tell with these two. All JMO.

It's not a bad thing...but it can come off as entitled IMO. Its great that she loves it though, because when Ben picked it out, people were saying "poor her" to whoever was gonna end up getting it

No problem! Someone give me a sponsored trip to Turks and Caicos please! I'll gladly promote it to my 203 followers on IG these contestants are so lucky.

Agreed. But Lauren is familiar with Mexico. She traveled there all the time when she was a flight attendant (she even talked about it somewhere, but I forget where.) And if she was just staying at the resort, I don't see the big hoopla anyway. It's not like she's on the streets or something IMO.

I don't think there's a breakup happening. Just not the typical behavior from these two that's we used to see/expect cause of how goo goo ga ga they always were. Imo.
