Proposal, Engagement ring and Love: The Hulk

The Hulk

By dino0123 - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Herndon

Today, my very cheap boyfriend of four years proposed. I was overwhelmed with emotion, since he bought such a huge, seemingly-diamond ring. I was later overwhelmed with emotion when my finger turned green. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me with the prettiest, most simple ring I have ever seen. I called my sister to tell her the good news, and her response was, "I know. He had me steal the ring from Claire's." FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML

Today, my boyfriend bought me a beautiful pair of very expensive diamond earrings, along with a card that read, "To my beautiful brown eyed Princess." My ears aren't pierced, and my eyes are green. FML

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, my boyfriend won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed with the biggest, tackiest, most Geordie Shore-style ring I’ve ever seen. I said yes because I love him, but this thing is twice as wide as my finger and just looks horrible compared to the solitaire ring I told him I really liked. I’m embarrassed to be seen wearing it.

Who cares? He proposed, does it matter what he proposed with? I'd be damn grateful I got a ring, even if it made my finger green.

Rings are material items! and depending on the quality of ring it may not retain its value. Also a cheap ring would not be a bad idea in this economy when you can live a life free of financial worry.

Atleast you know he loves you if he proposed. Even if the ring did come from a gumball machine

If all you want out of him is extravagant spending and 2,000 dollar diamond rings, YOU don't deserve HIM.

my engagement ring was about $100 and has a (very small) real diamond and has never turned my finger green. there's a difference between extravagant and not wanting a piece of shit.

He could have bought a sterling silver ring at Walmart for $30 and not even that would have been cheap enough to turn your finger green. What an ass.

wow..that's terrible. my fiance doesn't have a ton of money, but he bought me a very nice, simple ring, sterling silver with a tiny real diamond. i'd much rather have that than a green finger!
