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

IMO Ben does not want a wife he wants his mommy. Lauren is the adult in the relationship and has given her all IMO. How exhausting for Lauren. Ben is a self involved manchild who is good at running home to Warsaw so "perfect Ben" can be talked off the ledge by his Mom....IMO. I hope Lauren throughly enjoys her birthday with Mollie and her Mom.....and when she returns to the US she packs her bags and moves on. IMO Lauren deserves so much more than Ben has the capacity to deliver.
Ben's tweet is a joke. What a Tool.
All JMO

So he really went home to his parents? 

She included ben in the caption of her most recent IG picture if it means anything

This is a recap of their January:

They go to LA for the bachelor premiere event. (In interviews at the event, Lauren said they'd hopefully fly home the next day, and then start settling down/planning wedding that month.) The next day, Ben flies to Denver and Lauren stays with Amanda for the rest of the week. Then she flies to Denver, they both stay home for about 2 days, then they fly to Vegas to film Haley and Emily's show. They then fly back to Denver, and Ben flies to Tampa for work. While Ben is in Tampa, Lauren flies to Nashville to hang out with recently single Lace, Amanda, and Jen. Ben flies back to Denver, while Lauren is still in Nashville, and then she flies back home, and her two friends from LA come to stay with them for a couple of days. Then, Ben flies to Indiana, while Lauren stays home. Then Lauren goes on a weekend get away with Megan for their birthdays. Then Lauren flies to Mexico on Tuesday with her mom and sister, while Ben flies back to Denver the same day.

Wow. That's a lot of info! I really had to think about that..

What a strange society we live in. Ben wishes Lauren a happy birthday in a manner that he would wish a happy birthday to a stranger and their fan account tweeted them both and said "that's goals right there folks!"

My gosh, how ridiculous IMO.

One day I thing okay there is trouble, other day Im like everything is fine. How confusing.
IMO they both are still trying to save their relationship. But if things are not working out someone needs to step up and pull the plug IMO. They cant go on and on like this...
I don't see it happening anytime soon thou. A few more months and we'll get more clarity. JMO

Damage control.  Not buying it.  Their tweets are way too cold towards each other. IMO  I guess it's possible they are on a break...like Ross and Rachel from Friends!

Screw her dad and her brothers, apparently

Both are always trying to SAVE face in the most nonchalant way. "The only thing missing is Ben" but here's a pic of me in my bikini showing off my banging body and tush! Ben didn't even deserve a shoutout after that measly birthday shoutout on twitter. JMO

I honestly don't think Lauren's doing damage control. She's living her life, not wearing her engagement ring in IG pics she herself posts. IMO Ben is trying to keep up the act, with his post yesterday, but privately he's making no effort. IMO.
