Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML
Today, an ex-boyfriend of mine came to the jewelry store I work at to pick out an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The same guy who just a few months earlier ended our 8-year relationship because I wanted marriage and he didn't. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend because I was tired of waiting for him to propose. It turns out he was going to propose and had the ring and everything, but I fucked it all up. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend announced he was engaged. We broke up last night. FML
Today, my fiancée broke up with me over text message while I was away for work. She later posted photos of her and her new boyfriend on Facebook, while still wearing my engagement ring. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. It turned out to be the wrong size and we had to return it, since the store said it couldn't be re-sized. As we headed home, I felt guilty, so I turned to him and apologized. His response? "It's OK honey, I didn't really want to marry you that much anyway." FML
Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over two hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML

"Do you like this diamond?" "I was thinking of getting moissanite instead." "YOU'RE A MONSTER. IT'S OVER!" Something like that?

Like I said in my comment, that was my opinion. That's how I usually see this type of thing done. I've never seen or heard couples shop for an engagement ring together. I personally wouldn't shop for the ring with my girlfriend because it takes away from the moment of actually proposing to her, that's just my personal opinion, not saying OP or anyone else is wrong for doing otherwise.

That sucks. That's gotta hurt. At least it didn't involve divorce papers and attorneys.

@46. I don't think that is a good reason at all. If I love my boyfriend/girlfriend, it shouldn't matter what they pick out as long as I love them. The ring isn't the important thing the way you feel about your partner is. Hell my boyfriend could propose with a daisy chain and I would say yes. The ring doesn't matter unless you value what's on your finger more than your love for the other person.

Some guys propose without a ring but with some sort of romantic inside joke, then go shopping together after, especially if the couple have been talking about marriage for a while, proposal is still a surprise and she gets a ring they both agree on.
