Today, I went to the mall to pick up the 1 carat diamond my husband recently purchased for me after 6 years of being together. My mom called, I answered my cell. Later, I realized that the baggie with the diamond was no longer in my pocket. It fell out when I answered my phone. FML

Lol! Despite all the mean comments, I thought I would clarify a few things. #1 I am completely aware that I deserved it. #2 The whole reason I had the diamond in a baggie in my pocket was that I had JUST picked it up from the store. We were not buying their solitaire mounting, because I already had another setting picked out at a different store. #3 My mom was babysitting my son, and had taken him on an hour long drive, so I was waiting at the mall for her to come back, she would call me when she got home. I went across the way to the Apple Store, and I was only there for about half an hour when she called me, and I took out my phone. #4 I don't own a handbag! I'm not a girly girl and I hate purses. The good news: I filed a police report to get the footage from the Apple Store. They caught the person who didn't turn it in. =P KARRRMA. They had already sold it, but my insurance is replacing it. Also, anyone who thinks this is something to get divorced over...you are ridiculous. =] My husband and I are very much in love, and we have a beautiful baby boy together. These are petty little things. Money comes and goes, and it is not worth fighting over.

You kept a 1 carat diamond in a baggie in your pocket along with your cell phone? Are you always this stupid, or only when you're transporting precious gemstones?

i agree why would you keep it in your pocket with your phone? that means that you value your 6 year 1 carat diamond anniversary ring like your phone :

and you too #40. nowhere in my post did I say the word "every" woman. perhaps you are the exception to the rule. but your sensitivity to the issue and your snippy response indicate otherwise.

If I'd just picked up a 1 carat diamond, there's no way I'd be putting it in my pocket. I'd be putting it inside the zipper section of my handbag so there's no way it'd fall out!! and to skidbubble - perhaps you didn't use the word 'every' but your comment was definitely a generalisation.

YouTou deserve it for not being more careful. It should've been on your finger and taken care of better even by putting it in your purse or in another pocket where there were no other items.

Yes, she has probably never bought her husband any diamond ring, and it was really clumsy to just put it in the pocket and lose it that easily, BUT she didn't "TOTALLY" deserve to lose a diamond ring.
