My man flew me to an island for our 2-year anniversary – he got a boat & a suite but I dumped him as he wouldn't propose
A WOMAN has revealed that her partner took her to a stunning island to celebrate their two-year anniversary, but she dumped him whilst on the trip. Bela Marie explained that when she began dating her boyfriend, on their first date she told him that he had just two years to propose. 2 And two years later, despite splashing the cash on a posh trip to celebrate their love, when he didn't pop the question, Bela stuck to her word and called it quits. Posting on social media, the brunette beauty got candid on the situation, in a clip that has since gone viral. At the start of the short video, Bela shared a sweet snapshot from her first date with her now ex-partner, as the pair dined in a luxury restaurant and posed with a flaming dessert. Moments later, the content creator uploaded a clip from her recent anniversary trip to Santa Catalina, one of California's Channel Islands, which lies southwest of Los Angeles. She explained: 'On our two-year anniversary - after he flew me out to Catalina, surprised me with a suite and a beautiful boat around the island to celebrate 'our love,' and planned a beautiful long weekend trip - he did not propose.' As a result, she admitted: 'So I broke up with him and ended our relationship. THANK GOD I did not marry that man.' Bela confirmed that she has no regrets about her decision, as she continued: 'I'm proud of myself for sticking by my gut and what I told him on our first date.' She then told her followers that 'time is not a love language' as she advised: 'If you have big dreams and goals that require a male counterpart - like marriage and a family - I wholeheartedly believe you should not waste more time than necessary on the WRONG PERSON.' Despite their 24-month relationship, Bela wasn't impressed that her man at the time was 'still uncertain' about marrying her. As a result, she admitted: 'I wasn't going to wait around to change his mind, beg for him to help me achieve my goals, or work harder out of this idea that I needed to 'prove my worth.'' EXCL Woman who dumped boyfriend after winning £1m scratchcard jackpot splashes cash with NEW man - while leaving ex with nothing So instead of him making a move, Bela confirmed that she did, by leaving the relationship. Bela snapped and claimed that 'consistency without commitment is just convenience' and expressed that she is now searching for 'a man that commits,' rather than 'a boy that wants to waste my time.' Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ iambelamarie, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 10.1million views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 918,300 likes, 15,500 comments and 47,700 shares. But social media users were totally divided by Bela's actions and eagerly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on the situation. One user beamed: 'I love this generation of women leaving at the drop of a hat and not falling for sunken cost fallacy. It's amazing!!' A second agreed: 'I honestly think two years is very reasonable. Also, the trip he planned at two years sounds a little cruel knowing the deadline.' How to ace a proposal Thinking of proposing? Follow this checklist by Fabulous' Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths to ensure a yes… Time it right - the average Brit waits between 18 months and two years to get engaged. But you might feel ready after six months, or decide to wait five plus years to pop the question. Only you truly know when the time's right, and this isn't a decision you want to rush. Falling in love might feel amazing but of course most relationships DON'T end in marriage - and this is for good reason… Pay attention - hopefully you haven't reached the point yet of your frustrated partner leaving their laptop open with 'hints' for rings they like. Ideally you'll want the ring to be a secret, but also something they'd happily wear - and for the rest of their life, so just a TEENY bit of pressure here. You need to be paying attention to any comments your partner makes about other people's rings, what they do and don't like, and what's most important to them - size, clarity, specific details. If you're really unsure, or if your partner hates surprises, it's best to propose with a dummy and then buy the real thing together. Family matters - tradition dictates that you ask the dad's permission for his daughter's hand in marriage, but it's not so straightforward nowadays. Maybe your partner's closer to their step-dad, or wants her mum to walk her down the aisle, in which case you'd be better off chatting to them. Maybe they'd find it weird if you went to their parents first, in which case you could ditch the whole thing. Or perhaps they're closer to their friends and the best idea would be letting your partner's best mate pick the ring. These things do matter and could come back to bite you if handled in the wrong way. Plan the setting - does your partner dread being centre of attention, or are they someone who'd be gutted if you proposed at home, berating you forever for a lack of 'effort'? Plan the place for your perfect proposal - how busy it'll be, whether you'll be able to get a good pic there, and other logistics around it. A proposal at the top of a mountain might sound good in theory but your girlfriend might not actually appreciate it when there's sweat dripping down her forehead and she's not wearing the cute dress she'd imagined for the pictures. Personally, I can't think of anything worse than a public proposal where everyone's waiting to hear your answer - in a group of friends, the middle of a restaurant or with an announcement at an event. So bear all of this in mind and remember, it's meant to be about what THEY want, not you. Someone else gushed: 'I'm glad you left, he clearly wasn't for you. Your husband is coming soon.' Whilst another simply penned: 'We love a girl who stands on business.' But at the same time, not everyone was as kind, as one person said: 'Good. He's so much better off now.' Another added: 'Guy dodged a bullet for sure.' proposal is wild! Would've been the first and last date.' relationship was on your terms and it's either your way or the highway.'

Killer space meatballs to cursed shrubbery: Stephen King's TV adaptations – rated bad to best
There are several things we have come to expect from small-screen adaptations of Stephen King's many, many novels and short stories and they are, generally speaking, these: there will be a small town beset by an Ageless Evil. There will be children, some of whom will be dead, others merely telekinetic and/or screaming in pyjamas. There will be blood. And flannel shirts. And dialogue so awful you will want to bludgeon it with a spade and inter it in an ancient burial ground, despite the suspicion that it will rise from the dead and continue to torment you. Like the generally superior film versions of the author's works, some of these TV adaptations will, in fact, be very enjoyable. Others will not. And then there is The Institute (MGM+), a new adaptation of a middling 2019 thriller that manages to capture the endearingly wonky essence of King's genius by being both extremely well crafted and, at times, astonishingly silly. But how does it measure up to its predecessors? Let us clamber into a flannel shirt and, screaming pre-emptively, explore the best and worst of small-screen Stephen King. The Shining (1997) Enraged by Stanley Kubrick's magnificent interpretation of his 1977 novel (too little substance, apparently), King responded with a 'definitive' adaptation of his own. Cue this two-part abomination, in which writer Jack Torrance (Steven Weber) terrorises his family with his definitive denim blouson and definitive inability to act. Further definitives: CGI topiary, a young Danny Torrance seemingly incapable of speaking without snuffling (sinusitis?) and a final showdown consisting of a mallet-wielding Jack chasing his nasal son past the same endlessly looped stretch of hotel corridor. Under the Dome (2013-2015) A thunderously bovine fusion of small-town soap and big-budget sci-fi that includes plucky teens, military machinations, a soundtrack packed with SUDDEN and UNECESSARY NOISES and a bit where a pensioner in dungarees shouts, 'OHHHH SHIIIIIIT' at half a sliced-in-two CGI cow. Stuffed from the word go, frankly, due to a premise so risible (alien egg makes indestructible transparent dome descend on town) you wouldn't be surprised if the remaining half of the sliced-in-two CGI cow turned to camera and begged to be put out of its misery. Storm of the Century (1999) A tiny Maine island is besieged by exposition when a stranger in a small hat arrives during a blizzard. The upshot? Tedium. Plus? Levitating guns, CGI snow and hundreds of minor characters, one of whom will, every half hour or so, extend their neck out of the gloom to announce a terrible new subplot before telescoping it back in again while everyone else nods and says, 'yuh'. Not an adaptation, per se, but an original 'novel for TV' (© Stephen King), which is shorthand for '257 minutes of Stephen King being emphatically Stephen King only more so'. The Stand (2020-2021) The apex of the 'large group of out-of-focus extras stands around nodding while a foregrounded hunk expounds on the best way to tackle whatever is threatening the community' genre. In this instance, the threat is twofold. Namely 1) a viral apocalypse and 2) a script that takes King's outstanding 1978 fantasy by its ankles and shakes it until its brain falls out. Makes even the 1994 adaptation (Gary Sinise shouting 'Noooo' at a field for six hours) look tolerable by dint of bewildering flashbacks, zero tension, general confusion, Whoopi Goldberg and wolves. The Langoliers (1995) Some people disappear from a plane, some other people argue about it, one of these people gets eaten by angry space meatballs, the end. A terrible reminder that the worst King has always been sci-fi King, this three-hour duffer has more in common with the appalling 'shouting ensemble' disaster films of the 70s than anything 'one' might wish to watch with one's 'TV dinner'. The result? A miniseries so volcanically dull you had to prick your telly with a fork, like a baked potato, to let the yawns out. The Institute (2025) A tyrannical bootcamp for telekinetic children, you say? With a small-town backdrop, federal bastardry and eccentrics in plaid prophesying on porches? Why, 'tis season four of Stranger Things! Except it isn't. Welcome, instead, to a very solemn eight-part thriller, in which awful things happen slowly to good actors (not least Joe Freeman, son of Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington) and YA friendships bloom despite the presence of lines of the 'you are about to participate in saving the world!' variety. It is, if you will, Stranger Kings. The Tommyknockers (1993) Nothing says 1993 like Jimmy Smits being punched by an alien while shouting 'Woah' in chinos. And so it proved with this confounding oddity, a sci-fi potboiler that cartwheels into the 'actually hugely watchable' category by virtue of everything from acting to special effects being coated in an almost certainly accidental layer of camp. Cue swirling green gas, comedy dogs, cursed shrubbery, killer dolls, xenomorphs tiptoeing gingerly around a cardboard spaceship and the line, 'I'm gonna nuke you!' Salem's Lot (1979) Not just the finest Stephen King TV adaptation, but one of the finest horror 'events' of the 1970s, by jove. The reason? Genuinely nightmarish imagery (dead schoolboys clawing at bedroom windows, bald vampires rising slowly from kitchen floors, etc) and a near-constant sense of clammy dread. Further proof that when it comes to miniseries, it pays to employ a proper director (Tobe 'Poltergeist' Hooper, in this instance) as opposed to, say, an upturned bucket in a turtleneck. It (1990) King's 1,100-page masterpiece becomes a wildly memorable miniseries, with the obligatory horrible bits (bloodied plugholes, whispering plugholes, murderous transdimensional entities bursting out of plugholes, etc) accompanied by a smart pace and rare emotional investment in the fate of its trembling young protagonists. And then there is, of course, Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown; a performance of such grotesque enormousness it threatens to explode out of the screen. The Outsider (2020) HBO steeples its fingers over King's 2018 midweight mystery and proceeds to say, 'Hmm' slowly … across 10 episodes … of glacially paced … child murder and …Detective Ben Mendelsohn's … investigative … jeans. And yet. The direction is excellent, the themes (buried grief! The nature of faith!) are explored thoughtfully rather than pounded feverishly with hammers and everything is marinated in that woozy greige lighting that indicates we are in the presence of Proper Acting and are thus unlikely to encounter, say, a pensioner in dungarees shouting, 'OHHHH SHIIIIIIT' at half a sliced-in-two CGI cow.

Conor McGregor finally addresses ‘nudes' leaked by rapper online amid beach snog scandal
CONOR McGregor has finally broken his silence after his 'nudes' were leaked online amid a kissing scandal. He posted on X: "Don't let them distract you with my G C while they rob our country blind!" 4 4 It was in response to a tweet saying: "This is why the big news is Conor's giant c*** rather than the facts he is spraying." In a tumultuous week for the UFC star, what appeared to be his nudes were leaked online by rapper Azealia Banks. She alleges the fighter sent her the photos on X unprompted - despite her not following him back. The rapper claims the messages were sexual harassment, but also said that she sent the boxer nude pictures as well in a sexting-back and-forth since 2016. It comes after McGregor went for a birthday dinner with the same mystery woman he was snogging on a beach last week. The pair were cosying up to celebrate the Irishman's 37th birthday in Florida just days after their coastal kiss, despite McGregor having a fiancée. The pair were dining at Padrino's Cuban Restaurant on July 13 - tucked up against a wall. The fighter was snapped about to have a spoonful as the mystery woman beams at something across the room. McGregor donned a turquoise top, matching shorts and a trilby while his companion sported a navy blue top and jeans. They then left a few moments apart. The same day as the dinner, Dee Devlin - McGregor's fiance - wished her partner a happy birthday. They have been engaged since 2020, and they share four children together. She shared a post from a fan account which read: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile." Last Friday, McGregor was spotted kissing the bikini-clad mystery woman on a beach. They were sighted packing on the PDA in full sight of other beachgoers. After a 15-minute jet ski ride to cool off, the former two-division UFC champion - who hasn't fought in nearly four years - cozied up with the dark-haired woman. He then laid down a towel for the woman and wrapped an arm around her shoulders in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Irishman seemed to lap up the attention of other female beachgoers around him. Last year the MMA star was found liable in a civil case that accused him of sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room in December 2018. It was alleged that he had choked the claimant, leading to her fearing for her life. He disputes the charges, arguing that they had consensual sex. A second woman accused him of sexual assault following a June 2023 incident at an NBA Finals game in Miami. The 49-year-old victim accused an "intoxicated" of slamming her face against a bathroom stall and placing her in an armlock before raping her. The woman alleged that McGregor engaged "in unlawful sexual contact" to fulfil his "own sexual gratification" and to "degrade" her. Florida prosecutors, however, declined to pursue criminal charges for the alleged assault with the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, citing insufficient evidence in the case back in October 2023. McGregor denies any accusations of wrongdoing. 4
