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

him that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's crack on with today's

first story. Now today's first story.

Now, today's first story comes from Auntie Exposer, who says, am I the asshole for calling my aunt classless in outing her biggest secret to my whole family?

I, 25 female, have always been really close to my cousin, D, 22 male.

He had a harder time growing up because his parents had some financial difficulties.

He never went to bed hungry, but they didn't have much money for luxuries.

My uncle met his wife in a strip club where she was dancing.

No one in the family knows this, but she left that work when she got married.

They have a business which Dee works for that struggled for years but was one of the businesses that became vital during the pandemic, so things really turned around for them and they are making bank.

This means that a few months back, my cousin could have an amazing wedding and a two-month-long

worldwide honeymoon. I was really happy for and proud of him. I grew up solidly middle-class.

Nothing lavish, but we had some things that some would consider luxuries. My parents, however,

were not in a position to pay for college for me, which I was chilled

about and I got loans.

I've been working for two years and I still live with my parents while I pay off the loans.

I unfortunately couldn't get my master's because it wasn't financially viable.

Last weekend was my birthday party and my cousin showed up without a gift.

His wife made a comment jokingly about how they can't afford anything after spending X amount on their wedding.

None of this bothered me because gifts are not an expectation, but my dad was visibly upset.

I asked him about this and he opened a can of worms.
