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, 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.

I'm so sorry your boyfriend didn't spend thousands of dollars on you for a tiny shiny rock you wear on your finger with money he could use to buy you a nice house to live in shame on him. btw an engagement ring may as well be literally buying soneones love

It's not the kind of ring he proposes with, but that he actually proposed. Marriage isn't about who has the nicest ring or best honeymoon, it's the fact that you think you trust your partner enough to begin a commitment.

it shouldnt be about the ring it should be about love. I wont pick sides but i think that if you love him enough you would marry him ring or no ring

not true diamond is a giant covalent structure with each carbon atom bonded to 4 other carbon atoms which is why its so strong, carbon atoms in graphite are only bonded to 3 other atoms each, this means it is structured in layers able to easily slide over each other making it malleable.

The way it is phrased sounds like OP's boyfriend is the type of guy that says he hates Valentine's Day because it's a Hallmark holiday, he won't buy an expensive ring because it is just propaganda by jewelry companies. Like it or not, women like a little romance. We see the ring, not as how much it is worth, but as a symbol of what we are worth to the man giving it. There's really nothing wrong with that.
