Yeah, but we have photographic proof/tweets/etc. that they really haven't been together lately.

He basically said , Lauren is great and life is good . He is haeding back to Denver to spend time with Lauren . There is lot of tabloid rumours about them breaking up which is not true and people mostly think they have broken because they haven't been on spotlight together and posting lots of pics. That was on purpose . This is all I remember him saying

@Lennoxcolinrolland yea that seems to be true -- I was just trying to clarify what he might have meant with his comment

Thanks for posting. Sounds like he's trying to save face and image IMO.

I need to see this video. Was he with the other bachelors? Can someone pls link it?

IMO, people will either think he's lying or telling the truth. At this point, I see no reason for Ben and/or Lauren to address additional rumors. They've addressed them. Time will tell at this point.

Ben's vague answers lead to nothing, IMO.

I don't think Ben has it in him to say they're having problems on TV. And to play devil's advocate if he had, thr tabloids would've run with it and SM would've been nuts. Probably not what they need now. I don't expect any announcements until they are officially and definitely done. IMO they haven't come to that decision.

Wants to stay out of spotlight, goes on GMA

^^ Oh! He loves the attention best believe it!

I wouldn't have a problem with Ben/Lo only taking a step back from SM. Other couples don't post much (Jojo/Jordan or Jasmine/Kevin come to mind) and people still don't think they are having problems, they merely enjoy their privacy.
In the case of Ben/Lo we are seeing two people who have barely spent any time together in the same city, much less in each others company, in the last few weeks. Add to it, that they haven't spent Chrismas or Lauren's birthday together, and I say stop talking BS, Ben. I don't believe a word. All JMO.

IMO, if you look for something wrong in somebody, you are going o find it. Ben and Lauren have now stated multiple times that their relationship is fine, I'm not sure what else they can do but just live their lives and not care about these rumors IMO. Also, Ben did not say he doesn't like the spotlight as he specifically said doing things like GMA was cool,but that sometimes it's nice to do things outside of the spotlight. IMO that is very different than saying I don't like the spotlight.
