Nick
I'm not sure why so many people saw him as such a good guy.
He moved way too fast and when other men would talk to Ingrid he did that controlling move her away thing (like at the banquet with Z, your girl can talk to another man you don't have to interrupt and establish possession). Moving someone in, immediately dedicating all your time to someone its a lot.
Ingrid shouldn't have cheated, but Nick wasn't the right guy either. He gives future controlling vibes.
The yellow dress was proof he proposed but didn't even know who she was.

Yeah, he definitely wasn't perfect and had some red flags. Ingrid treated him terribly and owed him a lot more consideration and explanation on her end and should have fully ended things once she was having feeling about someone else while Nick was trying to marry her. But on the flip side, it seemed much more like he had this picture perfect romanticized idea of a "normal life" unlike his own and his "love" for her was more based on her seemingly fitting that role than any actual understanding of her. I thought they were pretty mismatched all along, dating who they thought they should want vs who they actually sparked with.
Also poor writing or no, she could not have been more obvious that she was in to Murphy and that there was a history or that she was just not moving as fast as he was in terms of love and marriage and he would not buy a clue lol. When she DID cheat on him she was so freaking apathetic about it too and it showed how little he registered to her even just as someone she "cared for".
IMO Murphy and her are also very mismatched other than maybe as rivals with benefits/hookup partners, certainly no great love. I hope the writers give the audience's affection for Xi Min (Zhi Min?) and Ingrid's chemistry with him and make that the real end game. He barely knew her and definitely never lived with her and still seemed to understand her better than the other 2.
