Re: How would you feel if your FI proposed with a moissanite
I think saying he might not have known and therefore it's okay, is just an excuse (and kind of a lame one). I agree that men & women think differently about things, but sometimes, making assumptions can be a dangerous game. If the guy in this scenario was truly innocent (and just didn't know she didn't want a fake diamond), then when she asked him about the specs, he would have just told her it was not real, because it would have not occurred to him to say anything else since it wouldn't have mattered. Why avoid the questions? If he truly didn't know, then when asked, wouldn't he just say something like, "actually, honey, it's a mossanite and I'm so glad you like it."
