Hey, Hey Waffle gang. I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more relationship stories. If you do love a Reddit story, why not consider him. Now like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Or super cheeky of you. Let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, guys. Now, today's first story

comes from a throwaway account. It's titled, I-32 male overheard my girlfriend, 32 female,

tell her sister, 27 female, that she is dating down, being with me because she makes more money

than me. And it's surprised that I don't

have roommates. I make 135k a year, she makes 205K. My girlfriend and I have been together for

eight months, so a bit about ourselves. I graduated from her top 10 public university and I work

at a great architecture firm in New York City as a senior

project architect because I know people will ask me I make in total 135k a year. My girlfriend

works as a software developer, she went to a decent state school and works at a tech company

as an engineer. When we go out for dates in the beginning, I used to pay all the time.

Now we do closer to 6040.

When it comes to salary, she specifically asked.

I don't like to have that conversation, but hey, I thought,

if we're going to one day be married, then it's important to know.

When I told her she got a bit shy about sharing hers,

but I didn't mind. And my girlfriend prides herself on being a feminist, so I didn't think anything of it.

I thought she was worried she was going to embarrass me, but I didn't care. This is how things

went down. I was in the living room working out, and she was on the phone with her sister.

I was doing push-ups

and wasn't paying attention but it went like this. Her sister was going to leave DC to come

to New York City and she was like oh don't want to come to New York City. That dating here is a hell

hole. This is where I started listening and she said that she has to date down.
