And after apparently MONTHS of not talking to her, he just now realizes they broke up and she's dating an awful French guy now?! Plus part of me feels they just forgot to put her in for the first season(production wise) and they needed an excuse for her not being there.

Actually it was because of these 2 reasons

1. The writers didn't care about Benlie (it is harsh) and wanted to create a new love story for Ben since Gwevin had departed.

2. They were planning to follow the OS timeline and so Ben and Kai had to be married.
