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?

I'll like, subscribe. Maybe that notification bell too. Well, let's crack on with today's first story.

And this story comes from Watermelon Bison 12 who says, am I the hool for not asking my girlfriend's

father for permission to marry her. So I feel like the normal situation I read about is the

opposite situation, but I personally feel I'm in the right here. I 30 male have been dating my

girlfriend 29 female for four years now, and things have all in been right here. I-30 male have been dating my girlfriend 29 female for four years now,

and things have all in been pretty good. We both don't see eye-to-eye politically on many things

with her father, but still visit him and her mother fairly frequently around the holidays,

and he is friendly enough to know to not bring up politics around the both of us, because

we don't agree, but I digress. I've talked

about proposing to my girlfriend over the past couple of months and about what she wants, etc.

And she mentioned she wanted me to ask her dad for permission. I was kind of taken aback by

this. Isn't a normal thing my girlfriend would say? So I asked why. She said because it's something she would

like me to do. Her sister's husband did it and some wedding funding from him would likely be

contingent on me doing this. I came back with that I wouldn't be asking another person for permission

to marry her. It's an extremely outdated tradition for one. I'm a 30-year-old person.

I can do what I want to do with someone I love.

I don't need anyone else's permission.

She got mad and said I just needed to do it

because it's a small thing to ask for.

And she wants some of the money to have a few more things at our wedding
