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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 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.

Diamonds turn into graphite over time, but the process takes so long, we can't see it in our lifetime. Everybody knows Diamonds = Graphite.

If you two were geeks, that would probably be the most romantic thing he could possibly do. But, given the fact that you don't like the ring, I'm guessing you aren't.

if you love him enough, the ring shouldn't matter tbh.

It's the thought though that counts, right?

He didn't put any thought into the purchase? How about you try to buy a graphite ring and see how much effort it takes?

stop being selfish. getting married isn't about the ring or the expensive wedding. people today have forgotten the point of marriage. they just want to use it to show off.

**** his life for being hung up on such a materialistic ****. What do you want next? The detached house, the big car and 2.5 vacations a year? Women like you disgust me. As if the ring would matter in any way.
