| 0:00.0 | Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. |
| 0:05.0 | My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. |
| 0:09.0 | And if you do, and if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider him the like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. |
| 0:16.0 | Let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, guys. |
| 0:20.0 | I laughed in the middle there because I thought, one day I'm going to shock you and say we're covering something completely different. |
| 0:25.2 | But for today, we're still coming with Reddit stories. |
| 0:27.9 | Our first story comes from I am a starfish that says every year my boyfriend, 21 male and I, 22 female, go on a break because he doesn't know what he wants. My boyfriend and I |
| 0:40.3 | have been together five years. We've always been great together and there's no one else in the |
| 0:44.8 | world I'd rather be with. We make each other laugh. We like the same things. We have our own |
| 0:50.5 | hobbies so we don't drive each other crazy. And we've been through so much as a couple. |

| 1:06.0 | didn't know if our relationship is what he wants. |
| 1:09.4 | He always struggled with a fear of commitment, something I've tried |
| 1:12.4 | to support him through by trying not to pressure him into moving forward. The problem is that |
| 1:17.5 | every year for the last three years, he's gone through a struggle with wanting to be with me. |
| 1:23.1 | He wants to take a break from our relationship and separate for a while, which I've agreed to the |
| 1:27.9 | last two years. Every year so far he's come back to me saying he was being stupid and that he regrets |
| 1:33.6 | ever being on a break. We talk things through and move forward. I thought after last year we'd be |
| 1:39.6 | done with it, but today he gave me the same speech he's always given about wanting a break and wanting |
| 1:44.7 | space. I put us on the break this time because I didn't want to beg him to stay with me. I'm |
| 1:50.4 | blindsided by this whole thing and I'm so confused about where it comes from. We're so great for 90% |
