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.

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

To me it comes across as happy and proud to wear the ring. JMO.

Can it not be she was just not wearing in that pic .She could have taken it out during freshening up and forgot to put on when she was snapping that pic.I doubt she check every second of her life to see if her ring is on or not before snapping . She was not wearing ring on Christmas morning too at her house when she was on her Pajamas .
So Ben liking the pic of Lauren and molly of today, Lauren following two of Ben's guy friends today is an act too??

If I was Lauren, I'd be rolling my eyes and/or laughing at the chaos that ensues when she doesn't have her ring on. Any popular couple even outside of this franchise deals with that, but my goodness it must be tiresome IMO. It's as if the ring comes off her finger at any time suddenly her and Ben are dunzo. I'm sure it comes off much more than we ever get to see.

Well, in that case, good thing she likes it so much! If they break up, seems like she'll get to keep it (cause Lace and Amanda got to keep theirs), then when she finds a new fiancé, they can pawn it, so he'll be able to design/buy her one just as big! IMO.

Yup. All the women from the franchise seem to get those comments. It's so annoying just reading them as an outsider, so I can only imagine how annoying it actually is for the ladies. Just goes to show how much weight ppl put on wearing the ring at all times IMO.

@simon21 Not to mention Ben's friends are always commenting on her pics as well.

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.

Ironically, one of my close friends just returned from there. It was so cold they had to wear sweatshirts on the beach all week. It was so windy they could not do the beach evening shows. They got credits toward another visit in the future.

can't wait for their next reality show. it's gonna be the opposite of LIT.

I think those of us that follow this franchise for a while now, can tell if something is up. We not those people but we can tell with their actions because we do follow them closely. You also can tell when a couple is solid, and know that they are leading to marriage and are together.

Look, I think every couple in this franchise has had their problems. Whether it is Sean and Catherine, Molly and Jason, Des and Chris OR even Jojo and Jordan. You can tell a couple that is committed, and also you can tell when the is trouble in paradise because we do follow these people and even though they give us a glimpse of their lives, at times those glimpses are enough to give us the whole story.

With Ben and Lauren, I just see excuses IMO about why she is not wearing a ring, why they are spending time apart, spending birthday and Christmas apart. You would think this being their first year and are out they want to learn and spend time together. Like to me is very important in a relationship, you might love someone but liking them is also important. Do these two even like one another?

Also Lauren moving, if you are serious, you start a career where you want to have a future in. Catherine did it, Des did it, Molly did it and Jordan did it and I know if Lauren was serious she would use her credentials to have a career there. You can't have it both, doing the single life while wanting to get married. To me life doesn't work that way.

I don't follow them closely at all unless someone mentions something here but just looked at her Instagram and 2 days ago she posted a pic of her wearing her ring so doubt it means anything. I never take my good rings out of the country and mine isn't worth nearly the value of Lauren's. It's not just the resort you're staying in. You have to get there first and Mexico can be very dangerous. JMO

I have no idea about the state of their relationship. They show us what they choose to on SM just like any of the other couples from this franchise. We can make judgements if we want but it's just a guess and/or our feelings about their chances. JMO of course.

I tend to think they are struggling. Hanging on though. But not great. 

Alternatively they have decided to take a huge step back and slooooow things way down - it's almost like they don't live together/have regressed into just dating where you maybe spend the night some/lots of times but you don't live together. And maybe this is what they need right now. It's not a great sign though. 

I'm a fan, obviously. But sometimes you gotta face reality.  You can and should have friend time/alone time. That's healthy and some couples do that more than others. But Lauren and Ben haven't had any quality time together at all recently. You can't ignore that. It's not normal engaged/happy/moving towards wedding behavior. Dating and having fun? Maybe that. Struggling and hanging on hoping it turns around? Also possible/likely.
