I am a woman in a happy, long term relationship. I have issues with your assumption about "girls". I told my boyfriend not to give me a diamond because every aspect of what diamond actually embodies goes against my value.

There are certainly women who adore diamonds, but not every woman does.

Will you please speak to my GF! I am afraid we have different values and any time the ring conversation comes up, it ends in an argument. The last argument ended in her telling me that we shouldn't talk about it anymore.

Then you have an issue on the values you have, and willing to spend the rest of your life together with someone that doesn't share those same values.

You should really have an open conversation about that and weight the implications of it. It can slowly build up to an unavoidable obstacle for the relationship.
