The former Bachelor, 28, went on to say that he felt they “just haven’t done anything.” This led his fiancée to reply, “When you say that we just haven’t done anything, it hurts because I’ve moved to Denver and had to switch jobs, and I left my life in L.A. to come and do the life with you.”

Chris Harrison dropped by to weigh in on the major change as well. “I’m sorry to hear the wedding’s off, but I just want what’s best for you,” the Bachelor host told them.
