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.

Well a pile of poop, is basically proteins. So pretty much a chicken sandwich by that logic.

Am I the only one who would appreciate a graphite ring waaay more than a diamond ring? The diamond industry is corrupt and charges way more than diamonds are really worth. Also, saving money is a good thing? I mean, it's possible to go too far with saving money, but a graphite ring does the job just as well as a diamond ring.

I'm sorry but I don't think the ring should matter whether it's diamond or graphite. if you truly love some, it shouldn't matter if the ring was a pebble tied to your finger with string. personal opinion though.

You may not have a ring, but at least there's chemistry between you.

Whether intentionally or not, you sound like a shallow bitch. My husband jokingly put a ziptie on my finger when he asked me and I was completely happy because it was about him and me.

Bitch, it doesn't matter what is ON the ring, especially if it's for engagement. I told my boyfriend if he buys me a diamond ring for ANY occasion that I would break up with him. Diamonds are overrated, it's the person offering you the chance of marriage that matters, especially if they truly love you.

OP: Who cares? He proposed. He loves you. Marriage is more than just a ring. There's a wedding and a whole life together. Get over yourself.

How about being grateful he got you a ring at all...?
