MAKE IT SECRET's picture

There is absoloutly no reason why they should be together. Ben and Amy fight all the time, and he doesnt even know if he loves her anymore. Another thing would be that he cheated on her and he mite be in love with that other girl. Things happen for a reason! Like, John happened so that Rickey and Amy could spend more time together and realize that they love each other and the baby. Ben cheating happend because him and amy dnt belong together. And yea i can see that ricky loves adrienne but he loves amy more u can see it in his eyes. So rite now...im am definately team Amy+Rickey Heart eyes

i used to feel that amy & ricky belonged together, but seeing that ricky wants to be with adrian and that ben is falling out of love with amy, i think that ben and amy belong together. and they had the cutest beginning!

SECRET LIFE IS THE BEST SHOW ON EARTH!

ricky and amy should be together

thegeneral09's picture

i cant believe it but your right, ben is falling out of love and its not going to be good..

stawfiwa's picture

okay its so obvious that the don't belong together these are the top reasons-
1. all they ever do is fight
2. amy is always extremely rude and treats ben like crud
3. ben deserves someone who will treat him right
4. amy basically only uses ben to get her way on things
5. amy was never in love with ben, she was using him as an escape route

and for those amy + ricky likers heres why they don't belong together-
1. ricky and adrien are in love and u can tell
2. amy disrespects ricky and only wants to change him
3. amy's family dislikes ricky as a love figure and your family should really like who your dating
4. ricky only used amy for a 1 night stand, you dont think thats gunna blow up in his face if they do get together?
5. amys to absorbed with her issues to ever care about ricky's

every relationship is messed up on the secret life, but amy really deserves noone until she grows up and can treat people with respect

Nikki_AND_James's picture

OMG your so right i hate the idea of messing up adrian and rickys relationship it just finaly turned in to more then just sex. i kenw they were in love and i also belive after all that stupid amy has put ben through she needs to have some kind of sex with him. its so unfair like if i was amy i probably would of had sex with ben while i was still pregnat because he actualy stuck around when its not even his baby. so yeh BEN DEFANITLY DESERVES some of AMYS BOOTY!!!!!

NIKKI LOVES HER BOYFRIEND

iloverickyunderwood's picture

okay so i dont no any reasons why they should be together but here's some reasons why they shouldn't/and examples...

1.HE CHEATED ON HER
(and even if you believe he didn't cheat on her in italy, he's going to, its in the commercial)
2. They don't even like hanging out anymore.
3. When they do hangout they get bored and it seems forced.
4. When Amy is with Ricky and Ben comes over she wants him to leave.
5. Ben gets really jelous of Ricky all the time.
6. Amy LOVES Ricky.
7. At the beginning of this season when Ricky and Ben were over and Ben tried to kiss Amy she pushed him away! HA
8. Ben acts likes he's Johns father (when he said "us being new parents") he is NOT johns dad. and that makes Amy mad.
9. They fight more than half the time they are together.
10. Ben says that he thinks Amy is better off with Ricky.
11. Amy said that she thought she might be better of with Ricky.
12. Ben and Amy don't trust each other.

secretlifeizmylife7's picture

Okay i no i once posted this before but heres for everyone who didnt see it
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING. IT MAY CHANGE HOW YOU THINK OF THE AMY/BEN/RICKY SITUATION
OMG. Ben obviously still kinda sorta likes Amy. But I don't think as much as Ricky likes Amy. In fact I think That Ricky is in LOVE with Amy. But doesn't really know how to show it so he goes to Adrian...and of course they have sex. I'm starting to get the impression that Amy is Over Ben and is moving onto Ricky. If you Ben+Amy fans don't get that then you have alot more to learn about besides "they love each other" So what that they so called "love each other". The way the act around each other and look at each other isn't Love or Dating, its Friendship. Yes, I am an Amy and Ricky Fan. I always have been. And i do get why some of you want Ben and Amy. But Ben Has NO CONNECTION to John except that he's his girlfriends baby. Ben acts like it is HIS baby. For example it seems like he's trying to exclude Ricky out of the picture to take care of "our baby". Well Newsflash Ben he's not yours. John is never going to have a normal life just because of the situation, but he would have an even more messed up life with Ben as his step Dad. Ben honestly cant really handle himself but he can handle a baby? No. Ben is Spoiled because he gets like everything he wants and even more then that. Cant people see that?? I'm not trying to get on Amy+Ben fans bad side. But really look at reality. Look what Ben can offer to John. Nothing except money. He doesn't know how to take care of a baby. Remember when He MADE Amy let him Babysit? After Amy and her mom had left, John started Crying right? What was the first thing he did? He didn't go and see what was wrong. He called his DAD. That shows that he can't really handle a baby. What about when John was first born. He didn't know how to carry a baby yet alone in the long run take care of one. Sorry if it seems like this is all about judging Ben. But please Ben and Amy fans. Think about what Ben can offer compared to what Ricky can offer. Ricky can offer alot more then you think. Ricky has had a whole bunch of kids in and out of his foster house. He actually cares about someone other then himself. He loves John. We can all see that. But we can't really see that Ben Cares about John.
Please think over everything. Then after that tell me how stupid I am. Tell me if i changed your mind. Tell me if i didn't and why not. Give me reasons to believe that Ben is right for Amy. Give me reasons why Ricky isn't right for Amy. Email me ur thoughts: boley.veronica90@yahoo.com

I agree with u 110%
thats my main reason too!

Brayden16's picture

Another thing, you little girls don't know jack about chemistry, don't make me laugh lol. Once you grow up a little bit more you'll understand. Not only will your preferences change, but you won't be as naive. Ricky and Amy will happen but only temporarily to appease their fan base. Ben and Adrian have sex this season, and when Ricky finds out he's pissed, same with Amy, even though they're not together anymore. Also, some of you define chemistry for me. I mean cause when I see them together they definitely have it. I guess since they're not jumping on each other and constantly fighting they don't have chemistry, right? Wrong. The chemistry is in what they do for each other, etc. Don't worry, you live and you learn.

stefers08's picture

I must say Brayden16, u continue to amaze me with ur incredible insight. Smiling
I agree with u 110% Wink

rickysgiirrl503's picture

Ben and Amy=boring. I'm sorry it's as simple as that. No chemistry is not fight, etc. But it sure as hell is not what Ben and Amy are. They are just too awkward. When they made out in the last episode it was not hot it was just gag worthy. I admit Adrian and Ricky making out is hot but Ben and Amy heelllll noo.

--Ricky, Amy, and John--
--Damon and Elena--

Brayden16's picture

You gotta love the haters man...I know I do. I'm not gonna waste my time with five reasons why, but I can sum it up in one.
1. They love each other
Every couple goes through a rough patch and this is theirs. I have all the confidence in the world that they'll find their way back to each other. I mean they wouldn't have wasted all this time in the first place. Same thing goes for Ricky and Adrian. FYI, for the person that said, Amy and Ben=boring. lolololol you don't know (expletive). If you don't like it, don't watch. PERIOD! You people kill me lol

livelaughlove_'s picture

It doesn't make sense to me that Ben would cheat on Amy if he really, REALLY loved her like he says he does.

rickysgiirrl503's picture

Ha that would be me Smiling TWICE! And I'll say it again if I have too!! I never said I didn't like the show. I don't have to like Ben and Amy to like the show. I'm sorry thats my opinion and I'm sorry you do not agree.

--Ricky, Amy, and John--
--Damon and Elena--

coutureadore's picture

I'll give you 5 reasons why THEY SHOULDN'T BE TOGETHER. No order at all...

1. Both of them can't handle a relationship right now, none of the people on this show can, especially Ben, he said "I love you" on the first date! I mean come on, how ridiculous is that? You don't fall in love on the first date. Besides now he doesn't even love her. Ha whatever.

2. Ben gets way too jealous & with that comes an unhealthy relationship.

3. Amy doesn't trust Ben & Ben doesn't trust her = unhealthy realtionship.

4. Their relationship comes off forced, like they don't even want to be around each other, they have to force it, act like they want to be around each other.

5. They don't want the same things, and they really don't have anything in common at all.

Those are just 5 at the top of my head.

super1426's picture

ok.. all you guys want is ricky and amy.... not saying you do.. but ok whats so common in them.. they had a baby.. thats it

rickysgiirrl503's picture

Cheimstry. And LOTS of it. Who said you had to have something in common with someone to have a good relationship with them? Opposites attract. Ben and Amy= No chemistry whats so ever (boring!!!)

--Ricky, Amy, and John--
--Damon and Elena--

stefers08's picture

if you want to compare chemistry, Ricky and Amy have nothing on Ricky and Adrian

brooklyn0829's picture

You got that right stefers08. You might be able to dispute a lot of things, but Ricky and Adrian's chemistry is undeniable. They are without a doubt the couple with the most chemistry. I would like Ricky/Amy fans to try and dispute that. I really doubt that they'd be able to.

livelaughlove_'s picture

Chemistry doesn't always mean physical attraction..

guiltyofabcfamilyindulgence's picture

Thank god someone else agrees! Well said!

brebre7300's picture

my top five reasons that they should stay together is 1. they are both in love 2. They have so much in common. 3. they both care for each other needs. 4. THey make a good looking couple. and 5. ben and amy always have each other back they can depend on each other and talk about anything. Smiling Smiling Smiling Cool Smiling Cool Heart eyes

rickysgiirrl503's picture

What do they have in common exactly? I've always been wondering.

--Ricky, Amy, and John--
--Damon and Elena--

hifive123's picture

they shouldn't be together. ben doesn't love amy and he's really weird.
but right now i don't think amy should be with anyone except john!
but eventually her and ricky should get together Smiling

super1426's picture

good answer.. she needs to be less of a snob.. she doesnt deserve ben at all.... im glad he cheated on her... after the baby was born they're whole relationship was breaking.. ben got too jelous.. who wouldnt be.. a guy is with your girl and you dont know what they're doing.. and amy is being way too mean.. she can say and do the things she does in a nicer way.... just because she had a baby doesnt mean she's in control of everything... for now i think BEN AND AMY break up.. and amy doesnt deserve ANYONE right now. My guess is in the end its going to be BEN AND AMY.. ricky cant handle a relationship without sex...

AMY: OH i'm 16 and i have a...baby i can do anything...----- not going to work forever

rickysgiirrl503's picture

nahh I higly doubt Ben and Amy will be end game. Things are just so over for them.

1.) He supported Amy throughout her pregnancy with ANOTHER GUY'S BABY!!!
2.) Amy and Ben got "married". How is it possible that those feelings went away so suddenly after that?
3.) Ben is the only person who can deal with Amy's mood swings.
4.) ??
5.) ??

livelaughlove_'s picture

It doesn't matter if he supported her through her pregnancy. He proved that he was a nice guy, and yes, it's hard to find a guy who will do that. But in this case, it would only matter if they felt the same way about each other as they did before. Amy and Ben getting married meant nothing. It was all fake. And I don't mean the IDs being fake, and the signatures and all that legal stuff. I mean fake as in, their marriage. Their love. Ben's feelings obviously went away suddenly after that since he cheated on her. If he loved her, he wouldn't of cheated. And actually, Ben can't deal with Amy's mood swings at all.
