Already married, got 10-heart scene with someone else
I'm very confused. I thought you couldn't get higher than 8 hearts with marriage candidates once you're married, but I noticed someone had "9/10" under their portrait in dialogue.
I figured you could still get to a "soft" 10 hearts, while being unable to see their 10-heart scene. But then it happened and I'm confused and concerned. Is it a bug? Will it affect my marriage? Halp ;w;

You can give them a boquet and still get the 10 heart scenes. If you do it before marriage then there are no issues. If you do it after marriage then you may lose friendship points with your spouse.

I didn't give them a boquet, just built the hearts up normally... maybe it's a bug

It's about friendship points. Nominally, you can no longer increase friendship points with a marriagable candidate after you reach 8 hearts.

But a single heart takes 250 points, and a "loved" gift (on their birthday) gives you 640 points.

So ... if a candidate is at 7.9, and you give them a loved gift on their birthday...

Then it is possible to get beyond 8 hearts. I've never personally seen this bump them to 10, but mathematically, it seems like is should be possible.

Neither of these are true.

I just gave them gifts normally and it kept raising above 8. Though I should mention the social tab in the menu still shows the last 2 hearts blacked out. So it only says 8 in the menu, but when talking with the person, the little coloured ball below their portrait shows x/10

Well, it's Sebastian, and I don't remember every single thing I've given him, but just usual stuff. I give out a lot of oranges to everyone and I think I've given him at least two void eggs.
Also worth noting, the social tab says he's single instead of boyfriend.

@red255 This isn't true I've had the same experience, and trust me I meticulously plan this game out and would remember anyone I gave a bouquet too, the only person I have is my husband, Shane. And yet Alex is at 9 hearts, and has been saying racy comments about me, and even at one point said "Shane... what's so special about him anyway?" with a sad face. I believe what happened is what Nakos described, it all started after I gave him a gift on his birthday. I was still married to Shane, but the gift increased his hearts in the menu to 8, and in our chats it's showing as 9. I believe the same thing is happening as happens when your spouse is at 13 hearts. Alex wants my chari but knows I'm married. It's making life spicy...

i dont think its a bug. after marriage with sebastian i was able to see 8-hearts event of Shane and Sam. so it certainly possible to see the 10-hearts one as well.
