Hey, it 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.

Let's crack on with today's first story, which comes from a throwaway account and says, am I the a whole, calling my girlfriend

selfish for refusing to learn sign language for my daughter? My daughter Ruby was born mute.

She can understand words, but we use sign language to communicate. While she can use her phone or

write, obviously she prefers to sign. The issue is my girlfriend, Amanda.

We've been dating for around nine months and introduced our children around three months ago.

They don't know sign language, so communication with Ruby was awkward at first.

She hates having to write or use her phone at home, so I taught Amanda some basic signs beforehand.

I've continued teaching her and Mia, Amanda's daughter, more in this time.

Mia is getting a lot better, actually.

But Amanda has apparently decided it's too hard and refuses to learn anymore.

She says that it's unnecessary, since Ruby can understand her and communicate other ways,

while Ruby is usually willing to do that for them.

She doesn't enjoy it and finds it frustrating.

I told Amanda she's being selfish and lazy that it's not fair to put all the effort on Ruby.

It's one thing if she doesn't get it after years, but it's only been a few months.

It's just ridiculous.

We got into a fight over it and she basically called me an asshole and said it's not her fault

she struggles with it, but that doesn't mean just give up.

If she wants to be in our life, it's the bare minimum effort to put in.
