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.

this could be an FML it depends. If he can afford even a cheap ring then yes it is an FML. However if he can't afford even a cheap 600 dollar one then I would just accept the stone one and appreciate it the same.

why does her wanting a normal engagement ring make her a gold digger? just wondering.

People on here will bitch at anything for the sake of bitching. I'd be pissed if I was the OP, too. I for one do not require a white gold ring with a diamond. In fact, my engagement ring doesn't even have a real diamond in it. But I'd be pissed if my fiancé just said "Uh, I got it cuz it's teh same thing" vs getting it because he honestly couldn't afford a real diamond and thought this other ring looked just as pretty. The former just sounds like he's half assing the proposal instead of trying to do his best despite money problems.

At least he's smart enough to know that they are the same carbon base, and the price isn't everything. He asked you to marry him. Be happy!
