Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - #6

GA I agree 1000 percent. If it is over please just let her drive off in her ridiculously priced rental into her LA sunset. Let Ben live in Honduras and devote himself to those who need him there. Let them be done. Whoever has a hold of them be it producers or themselves. Let it go. It is time. In my opinion.

I don't think Ben and Lauren were on the same page when it came to wanting a "simple life". Ben grew up in the Midwest, Lauren on the West Coast. I've lived in both places and it's two completely different worlds. I think they're finally realizing their ideas of "simple" aren't the same. All JMO.

I have no idea what's going on with Ben & Lauren but hope they'll both be happy either with or without each other.

There was a discussion earlier on about showing love (or not) on SM and this article fits exactly what I feel about it.  My Husband Doesn’t Post About Me On Social Media (And That’s Fine With Me)

I don't know but this is the image I have of Lauren.
I think Ben's Lauren is fake, it is just a girl pretends to be sweet.
While the party girl Lauren is the real her, imo, cray.

I feel that Lauren enjoys the finer things in life... *cough cough*...driving around in a Jag... while Ben is just a simple man who wants to live a simple life, live in a simple house, and drive a simple car. Nothing flashy for him. He needs to find a woman who enjoys the same things as he does. The same goes for Lauren. JMOAA.

Agree! To me Lauren seems much happier when she does her own thing and be with her fellow alumni friends in la la land. Pls Lauren and Ben stop fooling the public if you are  not happy at all . You are just making yourselves stupid. And I understand that the producers have to say about it and you have some tv appearances as couple. But sometimes it just doesn't make sense if you keep pretending everything is great like what Ben is saying coz it is clear it is not . Jmo.

Seriously, I am so over this cr*p about them having to wait for tptb go ahead to announce a split. WTH are they going to do to them if they just announce it? Kaitlyn spoiled her own season...in the middle of airing...and it looked to be another foiler season...and she is still alive and still getting opportunities to do stuff with the franchise...even though she is constantly making digs at them and is generally a pain in the a**. Spill it and move on. If you want to continue to be included in stuff, kiss a little a** after the fact and continue shilling and hanging with the alumni like everyone else. Big deal.

The difference could be Kaitlyn plays by her own rules and maybe Ben/Lo are not accustomed to playing outside the rules? Different personalities?

You could be right Kasha. Still if it was me, I'd be so done with it and screw what tptb want. Sometimes you just have to say the h*ll with it and do what is best for you.

@Sprite I would do as you said. But we aren't talking "us". We are talking Ben. Ben who plays by the rules. Ben who put up with Kaitlyn visiting Shawn and doing god knows what else while he was sharing that same room. Ben that plays with politics and plays the good son with TPTB, Ben who is philanthropic.
As far as Lauren goes, I think as long as she gets some Lauren time she is fine.
Not too much longer to wait--what 2 weeks?

I just hope they don't go to this seasons ATFR. I don't need another Ben giving advice and asking Lauren if it was okay. "yeah" "yeah"

I don't think there's anything that could stop Lauren from moving back to the west coast if that's what they both decided was best for them. Even if an announcement is delayed. Yes, those that follow them will figure it out but the vast majority of Bachelor Nation probably wouldn't even know until they can announce.
