Their engagement broke off three years ago, and he said he was high when he proposed and didn't even remember doing so. Agree with the first PP that she didn't need to put out a public message. Also, she says how they rewatched Friends together before the reunion but he told Diane Sawyer he can't rewatch Friends episodes because he just sees his weight/addiction/struggles.[/quote]

In that case, were they really engaged? Or was she trying to hold him to something to which he didn’t consent?[/quote]
Read the book. He had every intention of asking her.

“I bought her a ring because I was desperate that she would leave me,” Perry wrote without taking Hurtwitz’s name. “I didn’t want to be this injured and alone during Covid. I was high on 1,800 milligrams of hydrocodone when I asked her to marry me. I had even asked for her family’s blessing.”[/quote]

NP- where does it say he intended to ask her anyway. I see what the first sentence says but I don’t see where it says he was going to ask her anyway. Sometime people buy rings and wait because they are unsure or waffle. He was desperate she not leave and he didn’t want to be alone. That’s not the same as: on a day I was clearheaded, I bought the ring and was saving it for a special moment. She was the love of my life and I had to have her in my life. I ended up proposing when I was high, but would have done it 1000 times over again, regardless of my condition.

Sounds like he got the ring to use at some point to try and keep her out of fear but - from this except - I can’t tell that he was proposing because he actually wanted to at the moment. [/quote]
Again, if you read the book, there’s more context to it. This wasn’t a spur the moment stoned proposal. He had a ring, he had spoken to the parents. But did he do it because she was a love of his life, obviously no. He was lonely and desperate. This is one of the lowest points of his life, paying doctors for more drugs, sneaking drugs when he was on the death bed in the hospital, etc.. but let’s not act like she took advantage of him. That’s ridiculous.  [/quote]

There is something wrong with accepting a proposal from someone who is high, and incontrovertibly at the lowest point in his life. What sane person does that? Maybe she thought she could help him, maybe she just wanted to be Mrs. Matthew Perry with all the money and perks that went along with that. Maybe a mix. But it is weird.[/quote]

He's smart, charming, rich, handsome, successful, funny, and - it sounds like - capable of snaring people into deep relationships which on his side stem out of fear and neediness. I can easily imagine how someone would think that they had found a true partner - and not fully reckon with their partner's addiction until later.[/quote]
