I have my doubts as the monogamous part seems to be something of a problematic pattern going by Arie's past exes. So I won't bet on him breaking that pattern especially given he seems to have already had problems staying with one girl post-filming and contacting and liking pics of the other while still engaged. 

I think that's the issue I have more than anything else is "how" he seems to have gone about this. It plays into what Arie has been rumored to be like and even his ex saying Arie's problem will be picking just one girl (which seems like she was right!) and seems far more just a part of his pattern of behavior than it does anything to do with following his heart. jmo

Because he uses SM , how can you ever know if he’s truly monogamous? Sydney who was with him for a year  thought it was a monogamous relationship and now finds out others hooked up with him before he left for filming. We know for whatever reason Courtney won’t sex and tell against him now.

No, Courtney just leaves little cryptic tweets or IG posts.  

Maybe she likes the power she has over Arie because he keeps returning to her and it does not seem to matter what status of the relationship he has going on at the time.

That’s why I think they should marry. She knows his secrets and accepts him, and is there when he feels like a hookup . She does have power over him and his text messages to Sydney shows he can lie so freely when he’s with her claiming to be with someone else.

I don't feel like Arie cares about Courtney to make a relationship with her last. If he really wanted to be with her--he would have been by now. He has a real "Sister Wives" mentality. IMO

Wowoww a year????! Don’t be cray. I’ll be impressed if make it to afr “happily engaged” or just “happily” and do a media tour.

@Alanna Haha you're right. We've got an advanced Baddy on our hands here. Baby steps. What was I thinking even saying that?

All the other franchise baddy's are put to shame now imo and I hope the future ones take note (including probs Becca's future f1), you have got to step up your game! There are bigger, better, baddier baddy's out there just willing to take the crown although I feel like they might still have trouble competing with multiple exes being contacted within minutes, reaching out to the next fiancee before breaking up with the current one, creeping on her within days of proposing, etc etc etc.

I'll be surprised if they are even still together for ATFR. If so then I give them 2-3 months tops. jmo.

Arie is obviously going to try and stay together with Lauren until ATFR just so he can say he made the "right choice" JMO and then last a few more weeks after and get bored!

Interesting . Lauren’s Ex Chris is a schoolmate of Arie’s Ex Sydney . :shocked!:


Also, Arie will ace AFR. Maybe even Propose.....again. It’s a short enough span to keep his attention on Lauren .   I think ??

Do you think they are comparing notes about what horrible exes they both have???
