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 and I'll like, subscribe, maybe that

notification bell too.

Let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love, guys.

Now, today's first story comes from the true off my chest subreddit from

Puzzle-headed Cod 1320, who says, my girlfriend said no when I proposed to her. She didn't choose me.

My girlfriend is the love of my life. For reference, we are both 23. We've been together for eight

years and we have lived together for five years.

Last spring, we graduated from college.

After that, my girlfriend wanted to go to the Juilliad School in New York.

Pronunciation.

I do apologize.

I didn't tell her I thought it would be a bad idea to go to the Julia because the admission process is so insanely competitive

and usually only the wealthy get in. We are not. I never thought she would get in, but she did.

She found her in the spring that her audition was successful. She had a partial scholarship to go.

She is due to go to New York in three weeks.

I don't want her to go.

She said that I can come with her, but I don't want to live in New York.

My family is all here.

So are my friends, my entire extended family and my job.
