Hey, Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more relationship stories.

And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider hitting a like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too.

But let's crack on with today's first stories, which is spread across two subreddits, Am I the Asshole and True

Off My Chest from Asshole Asks and says, Am I the asshole for telling my wife she can't buy

bottled water. I don't know if my pride and ego is bruised, if I'm misdirected in my frustrations

or if I'm just pathetic, so I'm turning to the opinions

of random internet strangers. Today my wife did the bi-weekly grocery store run. She likes

going alone and before she left I offered to make her a jug of ice water because it's hot

and I knew she was going to get thirsty. Her jug is a $50 Stanley Cup. Even though it was bought

months ago, it was out of our budget, but she begged for it and swore she would use it all

the time. About 45 minutes later, she got back and had two huge bottles of Evian water.

We are on a very strict budget. We do not get food stamps because I make too

much. She had $35 to get what we needed and I know Evian is expensive. I asked her why she

bought water when I offered to make her water before she left. I guess you can compare it to

we have McDonald's at home. She tells me they were on

sale for two for seven dollars and she just wanted it. That is not a freaking sale. I immediately

got frustrated because we don't have money for wants. Hell, we don't have money for needs.

That $7 could have bought some protein to add to our meals.

I already skip as many meals as I can get away with, so there is enough for her and the kids.

We have been surviving on beans, rice, spam, eggs and frozen veggies.

I would be a slur for some chicken right now.

That $7 could have bought a few small toys for our kids' birthday next week.
