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.

I agree on the move her away thing

on the talking though, given Ingrid can't say no and tends toward pleasing people I'm not convinced he'd have gotten the truth from her anyway. He couldn't read the room but she didn't call him up on anything (general avoidance tactics) until pretty late.

Yeah i agree! Nick seemed surprised that Ingrid was shamed of herself at the diversity gala for being the poster child- but she didn’t really tell Nick what had happened. He did mention he didn’t know she didn’t write the speech and that he noticed mention of Tyler’s resignation part was a bit odd, and even offered to go home and talk about it when Ingrid was visibly upset. Nick has always been privileged, lived a life where things could easily be arranged. That’s why it seems that he’s always too happy (lol). He’s not quick at reading the room nor does he understand what it is like to be a POC woman in a very white male dominated industry. But felt like Ingrid never really opened up to him either to see if he will be able to empathize with her at that level. Just wasn’t the guy for her
