At the end of the day, Arie and Becca were not going to last. He had feelings for another woman. And deep down, I guess Becca knew!! IMO

I am curious, for those who are friends with the exes, was it immediate while your new relationship was starting or did it become more friendly again after your permanent relationship was more established?

Lauren showed herself to like lots of reassurance, so IMO, that doesn’t go with exes being involved, at least not at first.

I always left relationships on good terms, as friends immediately. But, I didn't have any reasons not to, I wasn't abused. I was cheated on, but to me, that meant we weren't right for each other, not that he was a bad person.

When I care for someone, I want what's best for them, even if that means I'm not with them. I'm a Thy will be done, not My will be done type of gal. It's worked very well for me, I don't have any regrets and I look back on all of my relationships fondly.

I think, personally, whenever you open yourself to another there is risk involved.
Risk, IMO-public scrutiny which this forum, alone, has shown true.
Risk, IMO- personal vulnerability that one subjects themselves to when you are in a relationship.
Risk, IMO-taking a plunge, burning bridges etc.
Personally, to me, it's either chit or get off the pot. Do what you need to do and then move on. If moving on =me. Good. If not, fine.

I'm pretty much the same. I've stayed friends with my exes. And it's never been an issue because I never date insecure ppl who need constant reassurance. Not my type at all. I date just the opposite -- overly confident ones who actually have become friends with my exes as well.

Arie did Becca a favor, he’s Lauren’s problem now laugh out loud

all jmo

Their break up is going to be super interesting IMO. I suspect Lauren will do a LOT of talking and will divulge even more about how their little plan was hatched in an attempt to smear Arie. JMO.

I figured he got into real estate because he needed more money. I don't care, but I wonder if they'll sell his condo and buy a house and if so, about what he'd have to spend on one. I know, not my business, but I'm so curious. I love Scottsdale, but I'd have a hard time finding a house to buy there. The architecture style, especially the flat roof pueblo style is not my thing.

I would guess that most of Arie's money comes from his real estate dealings. The series he is driving in is not a name series. I had not even heard of it until the season was airing. Arie also does not have a very good racing record. Career Stats here. The series he is with now is not reflected here.

IMO it could also be stock and assets his parents have gifted him. That is most likely IMO

Yeah, his dad's career stats on that website are very impressive.

Ita and maybe a bonus for a grandchild. Not unheard of Jmo.
