And so, another season of The Bachelor<\/em> has come and gone, and it ended \u2013 as advertised \u2013 as the most dramatic (and controversial) finale yet. For those who aren\u2019t up to speed on why everyone\u2019s hating on this past season’s Bachelor, Arie Luyendyk Jr., here\u2019s the Cole\u2019s Notes version: Dude was boring as hell all season; he told both of the final two contestants he loved them; didn\u2019t know who to propose to the day of the proposal; dumped one, though he told her he loved her as he sent her home; and immediately after that, proposed to \u201cthe winner\u201d Becca K. — (she actually is the winner at the end of this, but more on that later)– only to dump her (with a camera crew in tow, but of course) a month and a half later, for the runner up! Still with me?<\/p>\n

In the two-day, five-hour finale that aired on ABC, the producers chose to run footage of the break-up in its entirety, unedited. We see Becca K. excitedly awaiting Arie\u2019s arrival at their LA home rented to them by producers to have a private get-together away from the paparazzi as the show was still airing. Arie comes in, basically tells her he\u2019s still in love with the runner up, one Lauren B., and then we watch them for half an hour after he drops this bombshell and calls off their engagement. And you know what? Becca handled it like a pro, all things considered.<\/p>\n

She was obviously blindsided. She was hurt. She was in shock. But she wasn\u2019t hateful. She didn\u2019t call him names, put him down, or act irrationally. She asked a few pointed questions to try to understand what was happening and to ensure he thought this through, and after he assured her that his mind was made up (all over the place though it might be), girl took off her ring and asked him to leave.<\/p>\n

She accepted his words immediately and didn\u2019t do what many do. She didn\u2019t try to convince him to stay. She didn\u2019t talk him out of a decision he had obviously already made. She wished him the best, and told him to GTFO. When he did (before coming back immediately after), she started processing what went down. She closed herself off in a room away from the cameras (smart lady), and let out her emotions by crying it out.<\/p>\n

And when Arie came back a minute or so later (I\u2019m assuming so he could be assured that \u2018She\u2019s fine,\u2019 ha! And so he could move on with a clean conscience so as not to taint his name or rep), she politely came out of the washroom to talk to him. Something she so didn\u2019t have to do. But she\u2019s classy, graceful and agreed to sit on the couch in the other room to \u2018listen to him\u2019 for a few minutes, before having to ask him to just leave multiple times. Oh, and when he went to reach over to her she told him not to touch her and made it very clear she was not going to be hugging him.<\/p>\n

The thing with all of the above (dumpster fire that it was), is that she handled the break up in such a respectful and inspiring way. She was authentic. She showed good character. And holy hell, do I ever wish we could all just follow suit. That we can watch and re-watch this uncomfortable, overly long, sad AF scene so we can learn how to properly handle a break up. Because when someone\u2019s mind is made up, it\u2019s made up. If they stay out of pity, you\u2019ll know they aren\u2019t \u201cthere for the right reasons,\u201d and it will further taint the good moments you had.<\/p>\n

I know from experience that the second you know the relationship isn\u2019t for you, that should be the same second you remove yourself from it. Or if someone dumps you, instead of trying to analyze it or begging them to wait for a better time, or continuing to hook up with them, etc., you\u2019re just tainting what you once had and shared. You\u2019re not honouring yourself or this person. But you, dear reader, and possible Bachelor nation fan, are better than that.<\/p>\n

Becca not only handled the break up well, but she\u2019s handling moving on even better. Last night, she agreed to appear on the couch with Arie to get closure and ask him a few questions to help her make sense of where things took a turn. She didn\u2019t bad-talk him \u2013 his actions speak for themselves \u2013 and she said she hopes he can be happy. After that was said and done, it was announced (no shocker here) that she\u2019s the next Bachelorette<\/em><\/a>, and her series will premiere on May 28. Let\u2019s note: Arie broke up with her a month and a half ago and she\u2019s ready to move forward. And that\u2019s the most inspiring part of this whole thing.<\/p>\n

Because many of us feel guilt for moving on first, or we feel like if we move forward \u201ctoo soon\u201d we\u2019ll come off looking a certain way: slutty, careless, carefree, when none of that is the case. The fact is, when something is no longer serving you, the best thing you can do is accept that it\u2019s over, wish the best for the other person, cut off all ties, and throw yourself into a national television show with 25 other handsome suitors, or something of the like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
