And nothing about Ben, ya know her fiancee, the love of her life.  It's just a matter of time before they announce their split.  Jmo.

That tweet was dry af. and that 'ily' response? In my experience typing 'ily' is the equivalent of saying 'I promise' with your fingers crossed. JMO.

That swimsuit pic on IG of Lauren though...she has a nice body! I can't help but think it's sending a message to Ben like "your loss honey!"

Yeah, that is a less than inspired tweet. JMO.

That tweet.

It's weird that the only pics he has of her have all been posted before (presumably), he'd have to snatch one from her page or repost which he's done a few times . I guess he might not be into pictures, but he's always on his phone in a lot of her snaps. IMO. Just getting a lukewarm vibe from him, and she's finally reciprocating. At least she's having fun, IMO she's earned it.

does Ben think wishing her happy birthday a little more enthusiastically isn't important either?? Dang. What a sad relationship IMO.

Going back to their Bachelor season, I think his mom obviously knows him best. She didn't pick Lauren for him which makes sense now. Lauren probably doesn't baby him which in return makes him feel "unlovable". I think they have lust/love but not love/friendship. JMO

I think the Ben that is seen is the Ben that is. Personally, I think the show PR'ed him into something he never was but a nice looking Walter Mitty. That does not mean he isn't a nice guy or goodhearted it just means IMO he could be a nice MEH.

IMO Ben is a bit passive aggressive atm. He doesn't reply to Lauren's texts, can't be bothered about making any effort even to tweet about her birthday. IMO he's been pulling back from this relationship for a while, first taking the wedding back, IMO he also suggested they do more of their own thing, and now that Lauren is reacting to that, doing her thing, traveling, seeing her friends, Ben's becoming pissy about it. IMO ths relationships is done, I'm predicting, that once Lauren gets back from her trip, she'll pack her bags and move. Jmo.

If I were Lauren I would have politely excused myself from that conversation and headed straight for the airport after his mom said that he needs to be talked down off the ledge and treated with kid gloves. I would have no patience for a guy like that and I don't blame Lauren one bit if she doesn't either. Seriously, Ben. Get over yourself and grow the eff up. Or get some counselling. Ideally both.

@cocoasneeze IF they break up, I don't see it happening for a while. They already have a scheduled event in mid March. So IF it happens, I'll say sometime after the event. ( The bachelor finale is 3 days after the event. Just to make note, btw.) IMO.
