If she said something, the comments would have stopped. I had high hopes for them, but looks like its not going too well. She's not active on snapchat either.

I actually did see a photo of her wearing her ring in Mexico, it was on her sisters snapchat. I assume she took it off, for obvious beach related reasons. She essentially did say something as she posted this on snapchat: https://instagram.com/p/BP_J5WlD9a8/ She also just posted on snapchat today, and posts a lot all the time..just not with Ben.

Maybe they're not saying anything because they like the attention? Ppl are obviously very invested, and thus curious IMO.. Maybe a little suspense and mystery is what they like (or Lauren at least..?) IMO.

Based on the timing of her comments last night and adding todays posts.... I am going to take a guess that she flew to Portland with her Mom. Not Denver. Just a feeling on my part. Ben is supposed to be on GMA on Tue with Nick, Jason and Andrew. I hope that TPTB let B & L make announcement soon...the comments on SM are so OTT and faking for another several weeks seems impossible IMO. Poor Lauren...to have to endure all the endless negativity.  
I hope they let her keep the ring....she more than earned it IMO.
All JMO

I doubt it. I think they're waiting for the go-ahead from TPTB, like when Chris and Whitney conveniently announced their breakup after DWTS, even though it was pretty clear they were over long before that IMO.

She seems pretty happy. So she either doesn't give a crap about the split if that's what they decided or they set a wedding date, surprise!

^^or maybe she is just ignoring all of it . Whether they are together or not is still a mystery,Lauren rarely responds to hater/trolls and whenever she does it only seems to escalate the situation .IMO even if she will reply to this rumour, there will be number of people who will call it fake , she is doomed either way . So IMO she must be like just whatever.

To me they are DONE because

1. He came back from Warsaw after she already left to go on her trip with her mom and sister(too convenient )
2. Birthday shoutout was cold and vague.
3. Didn't even send her roses, a card, present etc I'm assuming (we all know if he had done that or anything else for her bday Lauren would snap that right away )
4. Special dates that only happen once a year without your significant other is a RED FLAG

All just my opinion of course.

Probably. Do you think maybe they're just tired of addressing it?

Oh, gosh!  I hope these two don't suddenly set a wedding date for any time in the near future.  Maybe they are more solid than they seem, but IMO, they need to actually spend some quality time together, rebuild anything that was messed up or broken from filming that dumb (IMO) show and try to figure out if they truly are compatible and meant to be.  IMO, they're a long, long way from that, but I doubt my opinion matters or them.  And people stupidly jump into marriage all the time, again IMO.    JMO

Idk. Ben's whole ordeal about cancelling the wedding in the first place was because he didn't want to rush, he didn't feel like they knew each other completely, he didn't feel like they had enough experiences together, yada yada yada. But that was filmed 4 months ago. Maybe in some weird way, the last two months (when things seemed to started to be "off" with them), actually made him feel like they're "ready" now

Why is Ben going to be on GMA with Nick, Jason, and Andrew? Did the tv promo and/or episode description say? Can someone please link it?
