0:00.0	Hey, 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 in a like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, guys. The stories from Educational Law 226. The story was titled,
0:24.5	Am I the Asshole here for telling my friend that being settled for isn't the worst thing in the
0:29.0	world. My friend Anna and I were talking about her dating life. Anna is an incredibly beautiful
0:36.4	woman and she could have her pick of men. She broke
0:40.0	up with her boyfriend because she was out of his league and he knew it, who would act in
0:44.0	insecure ways. Anna stated that she didn't want to settle for someone less than the best. She asked
0:50.4	me why would anyone settle and brought up my marriage as a positive example of love?
0:55.8	I told her that my husband settled for me and he wasn't attracted to me and we still had a happy

1:16.7	year, he had friends and he asked me to prom. Ten years later, we are happily married. However,

1:28.5	woman. It's a huge insecurity of mine. A year after we married, my husband drunkenly confessed
1:34.6	that he didn't find me attractive. He prefers petite women with delicate facial features,
1:40.0	that he was grateful for what I did and felt obliged to thank me, which is why he asked me
1:45.7	out to prom, why we dated throughout college, why he proposed. He still loved me very much, but
1:51.8	wasn't attracted to me. The next morning, he was hung over and had forgotten his confession.
1:57.3	He doesn't drink much because he doesn't have a filter and tells the unvarnished truth.
2:03.1	I felt crushed, but our marriage was very good otherwise.
2:07.0	I never told him what he said that night.
2:09.0	He was a great husband.
