Today, we got a diamond delivered to our house. I was super confused until my husband admitted he’d taken the ashes of his grandparents and parents, my mom and my grandparents', and my auntie's, mixed them all together and sent them to one of those diamond making companies. I’m divorcing him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my boyfriend of five months gave away all the jewelry his late grandmother left him to his daughter from an old relationship. I asked in shock what he plans to give my daughter, and he replied, "Uh, you know she's not my kid, right?" FML
Today, during a major fight with my boyfriend, I threw a necklace he had given me out the window, thinking it was just a cheap trinket. He then told me, for the first time, that that necklace had belonged to his now deceased grandma. FML
Today, I took home my grandpa's ashes. I then went out with my grandma, leaving my 5-year-old at home with my 12-year-old. When I got home, my beaming 5-year-old opened the door, covered in white powder. My grandmother asked where all the powder had come from. She pointed to the empty ashbox. 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, I went to sell my wedding rings, due to the fact that I'm getting divorced from a man who cheated on me. The jeweler informed me that the stone in my engagement ring is fake. I won't even be able to cover the divorce costs from the proceeds. FML
Today, my boyfriend won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML
Today, I went to a jewellery store to sell my wedding ring, after a long and painful divorce. The shop owner took one look at it and called the cops because I tried to sell him a diamond ring that had been stolen from him 3 years ago. My ex-husband left the country a week ago. FML
Today, I went into hysterics and started crying when my boyfriend pulled out a Tiffany's box at dinner. Then I found out he'd used the old box to make the $15 earrings he bought seem more "special." FML
Today, I found out that my ex gifted a special handcrafted necklace I made for him to his new girlfriend. She wears it on all her socials. FML
Today, my almost-mother-in-law demanded I give my engagement ring back because it was originally her great-grandmother's, and she has now decided she wants it to go to her youngest son’s fiancée instead. My fiancé agreed and told me he’d just buy me another. He doesn’t get why I’m so upset either. FML

his own family, fine. taking your loved ones remains without asking....UNACCEPTABLE.

as in you were already divorcing him and now you can't take your loved ones with you or you're divorcing him for this?

What is the problem? I had this done when my husband was KIA and I got additional remains back cremated, after he had been buried. I love that I can always have a physical part of him close to me. Why are you so upset? Would you have preferred that he was buying a diamond to give to another woman?????

if you think taking the remains of someone's family member and doing ANYTHING with them without that family member's permission you've got serious issues...seek help and don't reproduce

You only had the one parent turned into a diamond. He gathered all of his dead relatives plus her dead relatives to make a bigger diamond.

My guess is the original poster had already decided that she was divorcing him before this happened and now this diamond is yet another thing to divide.

As much as I like the idea of making diamonds out of ashes, it's something YOU TALK ABOUT FIRST when it's other peoples loved ones. (Except in the case of Zsa Zsa Gabor, she should have been made into a diamond without hesitation or argument. She would have LOVED that.) But I would also be seriously considering divorce after that level of abject disrespect of my loved ones and my feelings.
