So against that I have forgone any relationships that might end up with me having to buy a diamond engagement ring. Thank me for my sacrifice...

You know, diamonds are overrated.
Have you thought about other precious gems?

You don’t need those crappy rocks. Just give her some diamonds in the sky, find light in the beautiful sea.

There's synthetic diamonds that are like, actually diamonds (as in they have the same exact chemical and physical makeup as natural diamonds) but not mined with human suffering. And are also a bit cheaper since they're created in a lab.

Is this a JoJo crossover of Phantom Blood and Diamond is Unbreakable?

When I got engaged to my ex, she didn’t really like the engagement ring and made me go out and buy another one that she got to pick out. I will never buy anyone jewelry ever again, f*** that shit.
EDIT: Ironically, when we split she kept the original and I ended up with the second one. Which I really need to pawn one of these days, it’s been 9 years since we split

Never been a big fan of diamonds, they just seem so boring.

Maybe it's just me, but a partner who puts too much emphasis on how much a single piece of jewelry you give them costs rather than the thought behind it is a giant red flag.
Like, I'm not saying the ring-giver should like, use a Ring Pop or $20 Walmart special as an engagement ring. But, if the person is that upset that you didn't have to put yourself in debt for a single ring, maybe they're the problem.

I used to always say that the girl I should marry is the girl who would accept an engagement ring from a Cracker Jack box. And I wonder why my marriage only lasted 10 months. EDIT: And I did have to go into debt to pay for the second engagement ring.

Also, the woman who came up with the “3 months salary” bullshit for engagement rings is pure evil

I'm guessing the person who came up with that worked for DeBeers. And yes, they are pure evil.

Lab grown diamonds are of a higher quality and cost much less
That the diamond industry as we know it still exists is kind of astonishing.

Yeah, that’s a valid point. My wedding supper and hall rental cost around $12,000. I had an outdoor wedding, cost me $0 but the f***ing supper and dance was obscene. My friend did it best, he showed up at my house one Friday night, we had a couple beers and he said “oh, by the way, you’re coming with me and the old lady to Winnipeg tomorrow so you can be my best man/witness” and got married in his now wife’s friends living room with 2 witnesses and a Justice of the peace
