Input: So, we are not made out of money. I do have an awesome job and my girlfriends job pays her bills pretty much (not much opportunity to save). We live in NY, Long Island to be more exact. The cost of living here is crazy, but we somehow make things work. We discussed marriage and actually looked at a possible venue yesterday bc we were always talking about how amazing itd be to have the reception there.

So I told her, I want to get her a diamond, it may not be the biggest carat but silly me had it in my mind that you can ONLY propose with a diamond.  Diamonds are a girls best friend, right? I could buy her one but it would basically wipe out my savings (I am saving for a down payment on a house, well we are).

My girlfriend explained to me that a ring symbolizes the love we have for each other but in no way does it have to be a diamond. She would much rather that money be put towards a house, which I agree with. So we went browsing in NYC and she found a BEAUTIFUL ring, not diamond, but moissanite. Personally ive never heard of it but damn it was really nice and she lit up ear to ear! Not only was moissanite affordable, you can hardly tell the difference. Say no more! 

I guess why I am here is, my older brother JUST got engaged yesterday. He blew HALF his savings on a $21k (2ct) diamond ring that is beautiful! But I think to myself is holy shit, am I an asshole for not getting my gf a diamond? She made herself clear bc I confided in her about this, she loves me so much and I could propose with a pandora ring and she would still say yes 1000x. It made me happy because this is one of the many things I adore of my girlfriend.

AITA? Why does diamond have to be the industry standard? 
Thanks!
