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?

Like I said in my comment, that was my opinion. That's how I usually see this type of thing done. I've never seen or heard couples shop for an engagement ring together. I personally wouldn't shop for the ring with my girlfriend because it takes away from the moment of actually proposing to her, that's just my personal opinion, not saying OP or anyone else is wrong for doing otherwise.

need a follow up on this one

That sucks. That's gotta hurt. At least it didn't involve divorce papers and attorneys.

@46. I don't think that is a good reason at all. If I love my boyfriend/girlfriend, it shouldn't matter what they pick out as long as I love them. The ring isn't the important thing the way you feel about your partner is. Hell my boyfriend could propose with a daisy chain and I would say yes. The ring doesn't matter unless you value what's on your finger more than your love for the other person.

Some guys propose without a ring but with some sort of romantic inside joke, then go shopping together after, especially if the couple have been talking about marriage for a while, proposal is still a surprise and she gets a ring they both agree on.

#77 yeah my mom and dad wear this gold ring with no diamond on it to show that they love each other and it doesn't matter if there's a diamond or not!
