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 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.

Are you a prostitute? If not, why are do you expect him to buy your affection?

Well technically he's right, but diamonds are a more unstable form, and eventually try to get into the graphite form over time. In any case, we shouldn't be diamonds as consumers anyway, ever see the movie Blood Diamond? It's 10x worse than that in real life, and besides that, diamonds aren't ACTUALLY that rare, there are diamond mines bought by the monopolizing companies and untouched to keep diamonds "rare" and in demand. YDI for being a puppet consumer.

smart guy

How can you call him a smart guy? There is no way in hell that graphite and diamonds are the same thing, they are completely different molecular structures for one! Which is essentially why diamonds are so valuable.

YDI for being a selfish, self absorbed little girl.

Your sad... i mean really, you can not say you love him!! If you did he could make a ring out of wire and you would say yes, just to be with him forever/: your sad you really are.

My boyfriend could get me a ring out of a coin machine and I'd still say yes. If you're really in love with someone, it's not the rock in the ring or the karat of the gold - it's knowing that it's finally official and you'll be together forever. We could have a million dollar wedding in an old english castle or have some guy from the courthouse hitch us in our back yard - as long as I have him, nothing else matters. Time spent together is more precious than money or diamonds ;D

Wow people are so nasty and judgemental! Nowhere does it say that she turned him down or that she doesn't love him just cos of the ring, don't think she deserves to be called a gold digger or any of the other stuff! If she was hoping for a diamond, or at least something that looks nice (CZ or something), as is the norm, she has every right to be a bit disappointed with a bit of graphite. It's something she is expected to (hopefully) wear for the rest of her life, even if it's not expensive it should be something she likes the look of! I'm not particularly materialistic, but I'd be pretty pissed off if my boyfriend tried to give me something he knew I wouldn't like just for the sake of being clever or cheap or whatever his reason for it. Definitely doesn't make her a "selfish *****" as someone so charmingly put it, or mean she doesn't love him! FYL OP!
