Am I the only one that finds it odd how often this kind of thing happens? Where somebody wants the relationship to end and the other person wants to get married? If somebody is going to break up with you, wouldn't there be at least some signs ahead of time? Wouldn't things be going downhill? Maybe it's just me, but I'm always kind of surprised at how many people there are who propose to somebody who is about to break up with them, and the person proposing seems to have no idea that their partner was about to end things.

FHL. If you did end up dumping him, the hard part is already over for you. It only goes downhill from here for him.

Maybe this is a game changer? Or the next heartbreak scene.

Sent you on the quest... yet he was the one who found heartache.

I don't understand why people plan these big dramatic proposals when they obviously have never even brought up the topic of marriage with their partner. If you don't know someone well enough to recognize that they're unhappy and thinking about dumping you, then you don't know them well enough to propose.

What gets me is: you went there to break up with him. Why'd you participate in the scavenger hunt? You could have just said no, we need to talk.

He might not have been there in person to send her on the scavenger hunt.

I got the feeling that he was at the end of the scavenger hunt with the engagement ring.

My dream proposal minus the breakup part. Y'all were on completely different chapters.
