He didn't have to say, that he was being politically correct, IMO. That, to me, indicates, that he could say something not pleasant. That doesn't mean he had to trash Lauren either. Most people manage to not insult their exes, without saying, that they're being politically correct. Jmo.

The crux of why that really bothered me. I peeped game.

People Article: Ben Higgins Reveals Details About His Split from Lauren Bushnell: 'There Was No Saving or Redemption to Be Done'

^ The article has a clip of him talking about Lauren in the first podcast that's launching next Tuesday.

Aw..it's sad to hear him say it's hard looking around his house now. I think he should consider selling it. I'm sure he can sell it for more than he bought it for after some of the renovations. Besides another woman probably wouldn't want to live in the house he shared with his fiancee IMO.

When did Ben trash Lauren... He isn't exactly a wordsmith but I didn't hear any trashing.

Interesting that he did not say he loved her.  Only "Someone you spend so much time with and someone you think is the one for you."  I just found his wording strange.

He finally changed his profile pic on IG.

IMO Ben's ideal woman is someone who is as image-conscious and politically correct as him. I don't remember if it was this thread or some other thread but someone had suggested a stepford wife and IMO that is Ben's type and the type of woman I eventually see him ending up with.

All JMO

@coolangel Yup that was me! A stepford wife would do exactly what Ben wants. Or if he marries when he's much older someone like Melania Trump, a trophy wife. **IMO**

IA! It's the only kind of woman I can see him happy with IMHO. Honestly, I thought Lauren was one based on her Bachelor edit but post-season, I realized she was far from it IMO. It actually made me like her a little bit.

All JMO

I think if Lauren really did the breakup with Ben and the whole ex Shaelin not wanting him to go move in with her in Texas means Ben is the problem, imo. Seems like these women want to somehow be independent from Ben. I do wonder how it is to actually live with him. Based on Lauren's snaps he seemed really boring. IMO

^I thought the Texas move thing was because she didn't want to be tied down straight after college and they were young. She still likes a number of his posts and didn't someone say she did an interview saying she'd get back together with him? IMO, there doesn't appear to be bad blood with his ex.
