Some things just aren't meant to last forever.
Don't get us wrong, Rachel Lindsay married Bryan Abasolo after a long engagement. But she and Raven Gates had a massive falling out.
Now, the Bachelor Nation knows for sure who was selected as Bachelor and has even met the new season's contestants.
But Mike Johnson was an incredibly popular contender: handsome, charming, and fresh on the minds of fans.
Since her time as Bachelorette, Rachel Lindsay has given some truly excellent advice to Hannah Brown and, before her, to Becca Kufrin.
But when it comes to her engagement to Bryan Abasolo, she's doing it all on her own terms.
With all the controversy surrounding Jed Wyatt's secret girlfriend, some of the wildest drama surrounding the current season of The Bachelorette has occurred off camera.
In fact, the show itself would be about as thrilling as watching paint dry in 2-hour installments were it not for the absolutely batsh-t antics of the maniac known as Luke P.
If you follow The Bachelorette Spoilers, you already know who Becca Kufrin picks. If not ... you must be on the edge of your seat with worry.
Major concerns are that Becca will choose Garrett Yrigoyen, whose bigoted social media history was exposed ... but after the finale was filmed.
Rachel Lindsay was The Bachelorette's first black leading lady. A lot of people were troubled that it took until Season 13 for that to happen.
Now, Rachel is engaged, but she's not optimistic about the chances of seeing another black Bachelorette in the near future.
The Bachelor's coveted hometown dates begin tonight, with Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s final four women introducing them to their families.
According to one woman who's been on both sides of this Bachelor milestone, however, three of them might as well not even bother ...
We all make mistakes. Most of us don't have our mistakes broadcast on international television. But the whole world saw Rachel Lindsay choose Bryan Abasolo.
They're still together though, and Rachel's talking about wedding plans.
Vanessa Grimaldi won Nick Viall's heart and hand on The Bachelor -- well, until they broke up, anyway. But the thing about winning a competition is that some people make friends along the way, and others make enemies.
It's been rumored for a long time that Rachel Lindsay was among the enemies that Vanessa made. Or, at the very least, that the two of them didn't get along.
We hope you're sitting down for this.
We hope you aren't operating any heavy machinery.
Dean Unglert went from everyone's blue eyed dream to making a lot of people upset on Bachelor in Paradise. Why? Well ... love triangle shenanigans, basically.
Those shenanigans came to an end on Monday night's episode with a breakup that didn't really make anybody happy.
If you were to ask Rachel Lindsay, DeMario Jackson has a lot in common with Jon Snow.
Because he came back from the dead? Because he may be the Prince That Was Promised?
Rachel Lindsay's final choice on The Bachelorette was not exactly popular within the Bachelor Nation.
Though Rachel and Bryan Abasolo are still together and engaged, a lot of fans didn't approve of the union, thinking that, basically, Bryan Abasolo just says whatever Rachel wants to hear and wondering how long that could last.
Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo hate to disappoint the critics.
But they have news for anyone who thought their Bachelorette-inspired love was nothing but a reality show creation:
We can't say for certain whether or not Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo will get married.
Based on the history of The Bachelorette, the odds are strongly against this lawyer and this doctor finding eternal love in each other's arms.
Does anyone else feel like they're still recovering from Rachel Lindsay's decision on the Bachelorette finale?
That final breakup was every bit as brutal as we'd been told.
Last night's season finale of The Bachelorette may have been something of an upset (or, at least, upsetting) for a lot of fans, but Rachel made her choice.
She's engaged, but for the fairytale ending that she wants, she'll need a wedding to match. Reportedly, Rachel Lindsay and her fiance are already planning their nuptuals.
Do you ever watch someone smart and likable think long and hard about an important decision ... only to throw sense to the wind and make the wrong choice?
If you watched last night's season finale of The Bachelorette, you absolutely have!
