He proposed to Virginia Woolf! Fortunately five minutes later they both realized it was a terrible mistake.

He and Dora Carrington also had an epic self-destructive-for-her "if only you were a boy" thing where he pushed her to marry and made out with her boyfriends/husbands, while she lived with him and kept house. Even after she dumped one husband, Strachey called his new squeeze (Frances Partridge) in and was like, You do understand Ralph and I will still be close won't you? &c &c. (I am very fond of Carrington and don't much like Lytton.)
