It was "reported" that Becca knew Arie was torn between the two women. That may have been a heads up to whatever extent, that the relationship needed TLC and nurturing. 
Usually SHV are known for alone time and known for time for the couple to be bonding and honeymooning. Instead, we see photo evidence of Arie and supposedly Becca in a group 4wheeling outing. That had to have taken away from alone time and time much needed for a new couple to be bonding. JMO

By the same token, meeting and hanging out with his friends could be a bonding experience. They don’t have to be alone to bond. I know we don’t know a ton about the unsanctioned visits of other couples, but SeanCat have talked about her meeting and hangin out with his family and friends was a huge thing for them and made their relationship better. Becca and Arie could have viewed the 4wheeling time the same way.

Just another way of looking at things.

Ha! Was just coming here to say the same thing...

One could also argue that Arie was trying to integrate Becca into his life (aka: the real world) faster. That he didn't want to wait until after the final episode before introducing Becca to his family and friends. It is often stated -- here and from former contestants -- that the relationship doesn't REALLY start until after the show ends and the couple can do "normal things." One could argue that 4wheeling was such a normal activity, especially for Arie. What's more "real" -- staying closed up in a hotel, forbidden to go out in public or meet other people OR participating in favorite pastimes with people you enjoy? And even on honeymoons, people escape their rooms to take a dinner cruise or grab drinks at the bar or even go snorkeling.

I don't think we know much of anything except that Arie initially picked Becca and then switched to Lauren. And except for a few sleuthed facts -- the hows and whys and whens of everything are still a mystery.

How Arie and Lauren acts on SM is already IMO rubbing salt to the injury. Couldn't you tone down posting pics of kissing Lauren on your IG story?

I don't think they'll last. Arie will get tired of Lauren. She bores me to death.

Who else has said they're disappointed in Arie for what went down except Caroline? I must have missed it.

"I was feeling love toward Lauren" and "But now I realize it was coming from a place of love." -Arie

Say what?? His blog is like a love letter to Lauren. Surprised he can say this much.

Right! According to the time line to me it was the end.

Sanctioned blog says a lot . They’re allowing Arie to rewrite his history whereas to some of us, history is just repeating itself. *rolls eyes*
Switcheroos were and is part of Arie’s life along with replacing one with another in no time at all.
Just my snarkyO

Edit: Arie also tried to get Emily to switch to him too. What new!

Here’s the preview with the multiple ILY. Gag me.

The spoilers are out there and they know people believe so let it hang. Then we will be blindsided.

Is I am falling for you = I love you = I am in love with you?

Or one is deeper than the others?
My head is spinning for all the Bachelor bs talk!

That’s the most connected I’ve seen Arie to Becca so far JMO but yikes dude. Between that and the switch a roo this isn’t going to end well. JMO

Could Kendall and I make up for lost time, having connected later than the rest? Could Becca and I maintain our recently rekindled passion? Would Lauren and I figure out why we felt so strongly for one another? Tia and I have so much fun, but did we work as a couple?

There's one explanation I thought of because I've seen rekindled mentioned in other blogs, referring to Becca. The passion rekindled, but it didn't last?
