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 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!
