I don’t see what’s so hard to understand. The entire point of buying a ring is that you’re showing her how much you care by spending a bunch of money on something special. Instead, you decided to save money and get something that’s not as special, and that hurt her feelings.

You conveniently left out the part where they discussed it and she said that it didn't need to be 'natural'.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a 'natural' diamond. But to mislead your partner as part of some sick test, and then make them feel like dirt for not having passed?

Women do this all the time. I agree it’s not a good behavior.

If this is what the other person expects out of a relationship it's time to jump ship ASAP.

The point is that its fucking stupid and a corporate mind game that is trivial to see through.

So, tell her that. You didn't need to be in a relationship anyway.

Just chiming in to say that you can in fact be up front with your SO about your opinions on pretty rocks as a symbol of your relationship, and continue to have a happy, healthy relationship.
