Dating

How do I date someone?

  • The morning after you first reach 8 hearts with a marriage candidate, Pierre will mail you a message to let you know about the bouquet. It’ll cost you 200g. Buy it and give it to your desired character to start dating.

How do I break up with someone?

  • If you buy a bouquet and put it in the furnace, you’ll get a Wilted Bouquet. Give it to your partner and you’ll break up with them. Their friendship level with you will drop to 5 hearts upon receiving one, and will have a unique reaction upon receiving it.

Marriage

How do I propose to my partner?

  • You’ll need to buy a Mermaid’s Pendant. You can buy it for 5000g from the Old Mariner, who can be found on rainy days at the tidals pools on the beach which can only be reached by repairing the bridge for 300 wood. Also, you’ll need to have at least 10 hearts with your partner.

How do I divorce my spouse?

  • You’ll need to go to the Mayor’s Manor, where a small book inside will give you the option to divorce your spouse. The divorce costs 50,000 g. After filing for divorce, you’ll have the option to cancel it before 10 pm. If you don’t cancel, your spouse, their room and their unique outside area will be gone the next morning, and your friendship level with them will return to 0 hearts.

About Helena Stamatina 1538 Articles
I love two things in life, games and sports. Although sports were my earliest interest, it was video games that got me completely addicted (in a good way). My first game was Crash Bandicoot (PS1) from the legendary studio Naughty Dog back in 1996. I turned my passion for gaming into a job back in 2019 when I transformed my geek blog (Re-actor) into the gaming website it is today.
