'Bachelor' Star Nikki Ferrell Admits, 'I Struggle'
Juan Pablo Galavis's partner opens up about the troubling part of her romance.
— -- Since Juan Pablo Galavis chose Nikki Ferrell on "The Bachelor," fans of the show have picked apart the couple.
Now, Ferrell is admitting, the criticism is tough to take.
"He handles it OK. I don't," she said on a preview of the VH1 series, "Couples Therapy." "I struggle."
Galavis, who famously did not say "I love you" to Ferrell at the end of their time on the show, said that he has no problems taking photos with fans while he and Ferrell are in public. Ferrell calls the requests "extremely rude."

"I feel like the more we open up this relationship to show people into it, the more it gives them s*** to attack. I want it to be a normal relationship. I want to protect it," she said. "I feel like Juan Pablo took a lot of s*** from people in the media for not saying, 'I love you,' and I just want to have my normal life."
Galavis added that that's one reason why the couple decided to do another reality TV show.
"This is the process that we need to figure out how we're going to handle those situations," he said.
