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 and I like, subscribe,

maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack on with today's first story. And our first story

comes from mayonnaise pies who says, I 30 female want to leave my

spouse 45 male of 12 years while my dad is here staying with us for a month. I really care

about him so much. He's a good person, a great person. He's kind, generous, funny, loyal, hardworking,

responsible, intelligent, creative and supportive.

But I have been so lonely. I've had to give up so much because he is also very antisocial,

a homebody, kind of emotionally unavailable, generally just a tired, quiet, unenthusiastic person.

I spent my whole adult life so far not doing things I really wanted to do because he didn't

want to do them. Simple things like go into a concert or trying kayaking. I know I should have just

made friends or done them alone but I want a partner to do things with at least some of the time.

And I have told him that in the past and maybe he would appease me for a weekend,

but then it had just revert back. I'm talking go to dinner twice a year, go to a movie once a year,

drive three hours away once every other year to rent a cabin for three days. We haven't done that in

four years now. Neither one of us really have any friends. We haven't hung out with another person other than family in six months.

I don't know.

And it's so rare.

Once or twice a year.

We did do other fulfilling things like buy a home and get a dog.

We spent so much time talking and getting to know each other, but the age difference.

I think it's just finally a real issue.
