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

I actually find it worrying if he feels the same way towards her more than a year into their relationship than he did after a handful of TV dates. He probably didn't mean it like that, since IMO Ben's all about grand gestures that mean little, so of course he'd think a TV proposal is the height of their love story. I, however, think there should have been some progress happening in all this time. More trust, more unity, more love... What he felt back in 2015 was infatuation. JMO.

^ Technically, those outlets aren't saying the rumors aren't true. They're simply addressing Ben's IG post.

I also don't see why any other outlet would use a direct quote from Ben, that he specifically gave to another outlet, in their magazine.

Is it even that possible of them to contact him right after he posted on IG and questioned him about the relationship?

I found that very strangely worded as well. It sounds like he posts the IG, they pick up the info in the other article and they called him today, and asked him about his relationship status.

I'm sorry but Ben is so corny with everything he posts on SM. I can't help but cringe with his captions.

I wonder if this old photo of them he loves to use was his bday post to Lauren. We shall see if he tries a little harder on the real day. JMO

^ Ben is also pretty corny when he talks too. He's a dork. But it's cute..kinda I'm sure he'll do a birthday post tommorow IMO.

Ben just says and posts anything and everything and whatever so he doesn't lose the public adoration and his status as a "good man" IMO. I'm sure he'll force her to pull the plug because he doesn't want to be the bad guy here either. IMO.

One of Ben's best friend's wife and Lauren's friend (Naz) posted a comment on Ben's IG essentially making fun of all the crazy comments that they're broken up with the hashtag #benandlauren4life

There's a decent amount of comments from their real friends supporting them, so if something is up its strictly between them IMO.

Last Friday, Baker Youth Club posted their event for their fundraiser for March. Ben and Lauren are attending, so we will see what happens there.

Only time will tell.

It could be just between the two of them or they're both talking to their friends about how difficult it's been, but they're trying and their friends are showing their love and encouraging them. IMO

Hopefully they do whatever is best for the both of them.

@FMG2015 yes she also mentioned about hondorus. Seems like they are going to hondorus again soon .

Yep. These two and their friends/family are going through quite the trouble to keep up the facade. IMO

I can't keep up with all the Bach couples, but is it true that Ben and Lauren are kaput?  If so, that is shocking to me...or not.

This photo looks so forced. They look miserable. Fake smiles. Jmo.
