I'm just gonna throw this one out there. I was dating a very liberal but pretty down to earth girl for a couple years and I know she knew about the insane exploitation the diamond industry was and we were both broke af. Anyways I made a really innocent comment one day while we were talking about marriage playfully and said something along the lines of, "Thankfully they make cubic zirconia or poor people like me would never be able to put on a ring on it." And I can't remember the exact details that followed but it ended with her being very mad at me that I never intended to spend 10k or whatever on a "real" diamond on her. We didn't get married.
She facetimed me maybe 4 years ago and the first thing she did after we asked each other how we were doing was bring up some bullshit that happened a long time ago. It was brutal. I just straight up asked her if she called me to get mad at me and i don't think we'll ever speak again.
