Crosspost "AITA for getting my fiancée a “fake” diamond ring?" from /r/AmItheAsshole:

I really don’t know what to say. I’m at a loss for words.

I sorta recently proposed to my GF. Everything is going sorta good. We were just watching a documentary about the diamond trade. The concept of synthetic diamonds came up. I actually mentioned to her, that that’s how her ring was made. Then, she got a bit disappointed. She keeps on calling it fake, which it’s not. It’s chemically and physically the same as any other diamond.

She says that she feed betrayed. I don’t know how or why she feels like that. Again, it’s not like it was cheap. $300 is a pretty low price, though. Also, I’m not supporting the very shady diamond trade.

So, AITA?
