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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." 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, 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 proposed to me by handing me a ring and saying, "Let's get this dumb shit over and done with." FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me the most beautiful diamond ring I have ever seen. As I excitedly put it on my finger, he told me it wasn't an engagement ring, but I should wear it like one to keep other men away and seem "unapproachable". FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She just grabbed the ring and said in a raspy voice, "My precious..." 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.

why are you bitching? at least you know he wants to spend the rest of his life with you now, so shut the **** up and be happy.

Some women are just ungreatfull, and materialistic (sp). My best friend and his wife got their rings tattooed on their fingers. That is stupid; guy has to go out and spend thousands of dollars on a piece of metal and rock. Get real, if he loves you and wants to spend the rest of his life with you, you should cherish that OP.

are you gonna marry him because of a diamond or because you actually love him and you shouldn't care what he gives you as a present?

Are you serious? Are you REALLY that shallow? If I was a guy and you said that to me, I'd dump your ass right there. Shit, if my boyfriend proposed to me with a ring from the 25cent machine, I'd be happy. Because I know he loves me, and he doesn't need to buy my love with a million dollar engagement ring.

it is the same thing. diamonds are actually very common, it's the DeBeers cartel that restricts the supply. maybe the guy lacks the money for an expensive common stone. quit being a greedy bitch and decide what is more important, the guy or a rock.

sounds like he put thought into it, and maybe that is all he could afford. I wonder how and why people have become so hung up on physical items. love makes a marriage work not the ring. I hope you said yes.

really? I don't see how this is an FML. he proposed. most guys in society today won't even do that. lol. If you really love him, it doesn't matter what the ring looks like. it could be a ring pop and mean the exact same thing. get over yourself.

Are you suppoused to get married to the ring or to him? It's the thought that matters. I don't care if some guy I loved purposed with a rock in his hands, I would've still said yes.
