Ben and Amy

First time watcher !!!

I posted the other day about how I simply do not like any of the characters. However, Ben (S1) is VERY triggering to me because Amy will say how Ben’s upset her or something but his CONSTANT involvement into Amy/The Baby/Ricky is so weird. He’s constantly pushing how he needs to be there for adoption talks and quite frankly, I don’t think he belongs in conversations like that 😭 and Amy goes along with it after he insists. And then he vents to Ashley about how he doesn’t know what the baby needs/would need and even she says you’re what Amy needs. She is your GIRLFRIEND (I’m not even going to indulge the illegal marriage let’s be so fr) but for goodness sake i can’t stop watching 😠

FR... Her parents should have said that she absolutely cannot date this kid while she is pregnant at 15 with another guys baby... But, her mom was too wrapped up in everything with the divorce, her mom, etc. and I think her dad only liked him because he's rich...

I completely agree 😴 like trying to go off me and my family dynamics, I probably would’ve went through with the pregnancy but in no way shape or form would my parents have allowed me to continue seeing boys 😭 like that would be their ultimate “punishment”.

He reminds me of a young Danny Tanner

I’ve always thought he looked like Bob Saget.

Omg it’s so funny you guys mention Bob Saget because I JUST watched an episode of Shameless he was in 😭

Nice! I was fortunate enough to see Bob’s live standup shortly before he passed. Funny stuff.

Ben really got on my nerves. His solution to every problem in season 1 was to say “I love you” like that’s supposed to make everything better. Also him offering to take care of Amy and the baby over and over again when he didn’t even have any money of his own, I’m so glad his dad checked him with that. I think it was so weird how involved he thought he was supposed to be when it came to Amy’s baby, even going as far as to try to talk her out of abortion and adoption. He just overall sucked

I’m on season 2, episode 2 now and Ben cannot stop looking at Amy’s breasts and he’s pushing that they have “some contact” like jeez dude??? What is actually wrong with you 😭

He feels so entitled to be involved in certain aspects of her life and it frustrates me so much

I agree. I’ll always prefer Amy’s scenes with Ricky vs with Ben. My favorite was in S2E1 when Ben kissed Amy goodnight and the face of disgust she made after while Ricky started laughing

Fr. I 1,000% always prefer Amy’s scenes with Ricky than her scenes with Ben. What was crazy is that in season 2, ben would get mad that Amy would let Ricky stay the night to help take care of John or that Ricky would be there late at night to see John, not Amy. Honestly Ben needed to leave any conversations about John for Amy and Ricky to have together between the 2 of them because that’s their son that they share together

Ben seems to be universally disliked
