ITA. He needs a woman who wants to be a sahm and is naturally predisposed to think her man is the bestest best best man ever ever ever imo. That wasn't who lauren could or wanted to be, it was obvious from day 1 imo.

Lauren wants to be a SAHM. There was some interview where she mentioned it, and Ben got kind of judgey saying she wanted to "quit working and retire" by age 27 to have babies. Annoyed me at the time, because being a SAHM is the freaking opposite of retired.

I always thought Lauren never enjoy living in Denver due to her frequently flying in LA . She seems more happy and upbeat when she is around California . It is funny that she needs to pretend she is happy with her new home but deep inside she is not laugh out loud

. I do think not only ben is fault . I would say both of them. jmo.

I honestly think Lauren has such a nice family. From the small glimpses on SM we got, it's a shame that Ben would waste his time being on his phone all the way in planet pluto and rarely doing anything fun with Lauren's siblings. I don't even know what type of woman he truly wants. A stepford wife?? maybe?? jmo

IMO she's completely bsing saying that and I believe his reaction indicated he knew that too.

I picture Benny Boy with a Christian woman who isn't high maintenance, who will enjoy going on mission trips and will be a SAHM. Not a party girl like Lauren. Jmho.

Btw, those people are not typically found on The Bachelor. laugh out loud

He needs to go on eHarmony. yes

Give him some credit. He did love her family. Their relationship was probably over on Easter but he still went. Also for Thanksgiving. He played golf and hung out with her dad and brothers. So I'd say give him some credit for going into a household when its like 6 against 1 - with Lauren probably still ignoring him.

I 100% believe Lauren wants to be a SAHM. That's not how it played. It was a stupid "how well do you know the other" game. The question was "when does your partner want to retire" and Ben said 27 to have babies. She doesn't work now - blog doesn't count - and she is maternal.

As for Ben needing someone to coddle and support him, I agree that's not Lauren.

Meh, I give him a B- for effort. I still think he should've spent Christmas with the Bushnell's. That was an odd time. jmo

Wow, way to be supportive. What the heck does he want then, he doesn't want a sahm, but she has to be in Denver, no other options. Jmo

Why should he have spent Christmas with the Bushnell's if he was just there for Thanksgiving? IMO, Lauren should have gone to Indiana.
