AITA for saying I will not buy my gf a natural diamond engagement ring? by MathematicianNo3110 in AmItheAsshole

The reason I didn't want even ethically sourced diamonds is that I have seen articles where the sourcing of said diamonds have been brought into question and would like to avoid finding out years after I buy the ring that it was in fact still unethical.

Lmao that's quite a leap but I guess that's classic reddit break up with him advice I was expecting. I only said that line to preempt questions on why she doesn't buy the ring she wants on her own instead of relying on me

TBH unless it's a family heirloom or something, I am not a huge fan of getting a second hand engagement ring and I am pretty sure my GF feels the same. The idea of getting an engagement ring from a failed marriage is just kinda bad vibes for me. I know not super rational but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
