Today, my boyfriend proposed. The ring just had a piece of graphite on it. My boyfriend argued that since graphite and diamonds are both just forms of carbon, it is the same thing. FML

Why do girls these days onlu care about the ring? Hell if my bf propsed to me i'd be like 'FORGET THE RING' and kiss him. Its just a stupid object on ur finger

Well a pile of poop, is basically proteins. So pretty much a chicken sandwich by that logic.

Am I the only one who would appreciate a graphite ring waaay more than a diamond ring? The diamond industry is corrupt and charges way more than diamonds are really worth. Also, saving money is a good thing? I mean, it's possible to go too far with saving money, but a graphite ring does the job just as well as a diamond ring.

I'm sorry but I don't think the ring should matter whether it's diamond or graphite. if you truly love some, it shouldn't matter if the ring was a pebble tied to your finger with string. personal opinion though.

You may not have a ring, but at least there's chemistry between you.

Whether intentionally or not, you sound like a shallow bitch. My husband jokingly put a ziptie on my finger when he asked me and I was completely happy because it was about him and me.

Bitch, it doesn't matter what is ON the ring, especially if it's for engagement. I told my boyfriend if he buys me a diamond ring for ANY occasion that I would break up with him. Diamonds are overrated, it's the person offering you the chance of marriage that matters, especially if they truly love you.

OP: Who cares? He proposed. He loves you. Marriage is more than just a ring. There's a wedding and a whole life together. Get over yourself.

How about being grateful he got you a ring at all...?

Now you have something to write a Dear John letter with.
