Here is the trick to why this thing is working so well for them:”His proposal, …, was immediately accepted.”
If there is the slightest hint of hesitation when a proposal is made RUN. Run away. She will leave you eventually. There are few worse harbingers of doom than a hesistant marriage proposal acceptance.
