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. FML

Wow, why did he propose to you? It shouldn't matter what kind of ring is given to you. It's the fact that he loves you enough to propose. Don't be a selfish person and be glad that you got a damn ring.

This is EXACTLY what gives women a bad name! Don't be greedy, you have (or had) him, and his love. isn't that enough??? Would you rather he took out a loan to get a "better" ring just so you can gain some pathetic points among your friends??!!?? Gee that would be great! Then you could spend your engagement time waiting for him to pay it off before you could have a wedding! Now that's a great plan! (I hope you are getting the sarcasm) Grow the heck up...stop your sniveling! Personally I think he should have an FML saying: today, I found out that my girlfriend is shallow!!!! :)

"Today, my boyfriend proposed to me with a graphite ring, and I threw a tantrum because I'm a shallow, materialistic bitch. FML" YDI, I can't imagine why anyone would WANT to propose to you.

Congratualtions poster, this isn't even worthy of a FML. Your boyfriend obviously put a lot of thought in to that ring. Very few rings can be bought with graphite on the top, infact as they are custom made they can cost more than most of the low end range of rings. Not to mention the symbolism that comes along with that thought, diamonds take a long time to form and by him giving you that ring he is saying that he wants to be with you for a long time. To be honest the mental picture that I have of you is of some whiney little bitch who is more obsessed with the objects than she is with the relationship. FYL for the BF.

I really like the symbolism, too, but I have more sentimental than expensive taste. I would've been thrilled with a marcasite or garnet engagement ring, but Mr. Doe bought a diamond ring before I could tell him that. He was, well, eager. :D
