"I put her through hell and back," Higgins told Us Weekly backstage at The Women Tell All taping on Saturday.
Higgins' behavior on The Bachelor left him with some explaining to do. Reports also circulated he had sex with three women during his round of Fantasy Suites dates.
"I've had tough conversations," Higgins confessed. "It was a lot for her to take in."
However, the software salesman from Denver, CO, insisted his relationship is doing just fine.
"We continue to move forward because we continue to communicate," Higgins said. "She's been supportive and loving, and ultimately we're going to get through it. We have gotten through it."
It probably helps that the winner isn't obsessing over every episode of The Bachelor that airs on ABC. Higgins revealed it's sort of a defense mechanism for either the sweet flight attendant or the down-to-earth real estate developer.
"[My fiancee] has seen a lot, but not a ton," Higgins told Us of the show. "There's moments where it's like, 'That sucks,' and of course it does."
Higgins' decision to tell his two finalists he loved them resulted in one devastated and confused bachelorette. His two love admissions are also clearly hard on the woman he gave his final rose and an engagement ring to. But despite all that, the Bachelor wouldn't take anything back.
"You can go back and regret things, but it put me in a place now where I'm very happy," Higgins noted.
