If not please advise, so I can delete the posts that indicate Courtney was madly in love with Arie.

I just caught up on 6 pages, and I have no idea what's fact and what's not. Going forward, we'll just delete posts. We will not be a source for tabloids with incorrect information.

Thanks.

If Arie had broken up with Becca and then contacted Lauren, I think I would be hoping for them to succeed. But he acted dishonorably by pursuing Lauren while still with Becca. And she was shady too. It is obvious from her statements that they had in depth conversations of him coming back before he broke up with Becca. That is crappy. Fine you still love him, say that and tell him to call you back if and when he is single.

Add in talking to Becca about house hunting in AZ while he is hung up on Lauren, not okay.

So I don’t wish them to break up or marry and divorce, but they built a relationship on lies told to other people and for me it just takes any positive feelings towards them away from me. JMO.

And he told Becca he loved her and was excited to see her . That was the week before the breakup .

Like I've said, she never said it, it was my (and many others') deduction from her words and actions on the podcast. It is my *opinion*. Per forum rules, those are allowed here. If you have to delete my opinion, then you must delete everyone else's as well. Posters say things like "he is clearly not into her" or "I've never seen him so in love before" all the time and those are never threatened to be deleted. Those are not factual statements, those are also opinions based on observations.  It's unfair to single someone out, when they are following forum rules, just because you do not agree with said opinon yourself.

Is that not allowed because she didn’t flat out say it? (I mean she wasn’t going to admit that on RS’s podcast anyway.)

This y'all mans? I just don't know how Becca's gonna deal, not getting an invite to the imaginary wedding of this trifling azz couple (IMO), I'm sure she was on pins and needles waiting for her invitation in the mail

Aria wrote:Yeah, Courtney never said the words "I'm madly in love with him", but anyone could tell. **IMO** Look at the comments on Reddit, it's very clear to anyone who listened that Courtney is in love with him. She said that she wanted things to work out with him in 2016, but he started seeing Sydney behind her back and it was the same thing that had happened the first time they dated. And last year, when they were both single, she thought they would finally get together and he would commit to her. She talked about how Arie told her that she'd given him a lot of chances and he was lucky to have her. He said if they ever started something he'd want it to be real. That's why she cried when he was announced, because she thought that something was finally going to happen with them and she realized it wouldn't. Look at the way she defends his cheating (basically saying he only cheated because Sydney didn't ask him if he was), the way she talks about how well he treats a girl and treats her to fancy dinners, her clear jealousy of Sydney, ...the girl is deep in love with him. **IMO** It seems like she respects his relationship with Lauren and truly believes they're in love and will get married, but her feelings are still there. Yes, she's sleeping with other people. It's not relevant to her feelings,**IMO** since she's been holding on to hope that he'll choose her for the last five years and had been sending his ex-girlfriend messages like "if only your girl knew" to basically taunt her about her relationship with Arie. Heck, the reason that Arie and Sydney broke up was because he was hanging out with Courtney that day, lied to her about it, and she called him out on it. IMO, it's very clear she is the Ashley to his Jared and it's going to cause problems. IMO.

Aria's post does have imo at the end of it, but there are several different statements.  I didn't listen to the podcast, and when I read Aria's post, the way it is stated, I thought Courtney copped to being madly in love with him, by stating the details of her crying, etc after that statement.

Everything is allowed, as long as the members and non member readers know it's an opinion.

Why did he even bring Becca up?? So strange. Also this wedding is seriously nonexistent, so it’s all a moot point imo.
