Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. FML

"Do you like this diamond?" "I was thinking of getting moissanite instead." "YOU'RE A MONSTER. IT'S OVER!" Something like that?

If engagement ring shopping was enough to make you break up, your marriage probably wouldn't have lasted very long anyway

At least now you know that it's too soon and won't work out.

Why is it your business??? Do you not trust your partner enough to buy you something? Engagements should be special. My husband asked what I like then surprised me a year later by proposing.

Not every couple has the same relationship as you and your husband. Many couples are very open about marriage and engagement and don't like the surprise proposal at all. No one way is right.

#62 Buying a ring together doesn't necessarily have anything to do with OP having trust issues. Some couples just like doing things together: they could see buying rings together as a romantic/interesting outing. Just because they bought it together doesn't mean it is magically no longer "special." Or maybe they don't have much money and are paying for it together. Or maybe her boyfriend is the type who will only buy gifts when he knows 100% the receiver will like it. There's no way for us to know their reasoning unless there's a follow-up.

Pick an expensive one? I think the story line of this would benefit a few of us

That's sucks OP but maybe it was for the best? If you can't make it through buying an engagement ring you might not make it though life's ups and downs together

i got into a semi argument with my fiance last night over an engagement ring. he wants to buy me a diamond and i'd rather have a garnet(my birthstone). i've seen some gorgeous garnet and silver rings but he wants me to have a diamond and gold one. then again this could all be a clever ruse to distract me from the fact that he did get me the kind of ring that i want and then i'll feel like a bitch. lol

I don't agree with shopping together either but hey, to each their own right?
