| 0:00.0 | Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider? |
| 0:12.5 | And I'll like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, guys. Now, today's first story comes from a deleted user, |
| 0:23.0 | and it says, me 29 male with my girlfriend, 28 female, of two years. Her mom wants her to |
| 0:30.9 | explore other options. It's wearing us down. Brief backstory. I met her mom once at a wedding and it didn't go as planned. |
| 0:40.3 | It wasn't awful and I didn't make an ass out of myself or anything like that. |
| 0:44.3 | I just didn't have a conversation with her as much as she would have liked, I guess. |
| 0:49.3 | I was just so distracted by friends and the usual wedding antics. |
| 0:53.3 | This is the one and only time we've met |

| 1:17.0 | date other people. These arguments have been happening every time they come to town or my girlfriend |
| 1:22.5 | visits them, at least once or twice a month, and apparently it got really intense last week. |
| 1:29.2 | My girlfriend says her mum had a nervous breakdown halfway through the argument while my girlfriend |
| 1:33.7 | was defending me and given her the reasons why she likes me. |
| 1:37.6 | She's extremely stubborn and I think that's being generous. |
| 1:41.7 | She does this to my girlfriend's dad too, always mentioning how she could have |
| 1:46.1 | had another life without him, wishes she dated more, etc. By the way, they're married in their late |
| 1:52.5 | 30s. So now there's this guy. Don't know his name or who he is. My girlfriend's mom knows him |
| 1:58.9 | through one of her friends, her son. She keeps asking my |
| 2:02.4 | girlfriend to go on a date with him and gets more adamant about it every time my girlfriend mentions |
