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 the like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too.

Let's crack on with today's first story, which comes from throwaway account and says,

Am I the asshole for paying my girlfriend money for a survival pack?

She kind of arranged for me when I'm going out to sea for work.

So I 24 male work as a marine engineer and make a lot of money overseas.

Out of curiosity, my girlfriend 24 female asked me what kind of stuff I usually

taped with myself aboard the ship. So I listed out the stuff like a bunch of men's hygiene

stuff, some of my favorite snacks, a bunch of socks, some waterproof winter gear, stomach medicine,

etc. She went ahead and bought a bunch of stuff for me yesterday and had it delivered to my place

along with a note. I was honestly quite taken aback. It had quite a few expensive items like a razor

of high quality, some expensive shampoo, expensive winter gear and stuff, etc. Normally I would

have just appreciated the gesture and thought of something I would

gift in a while or so, but since I was leaving in a week, I was out of ideas and I couldn't

have matched the amount she spent on me in such a short while, meaningfully, so I took her out

to dinner. I thanked her for all of that. I actually needed to buy quite a bit of that stuff,

and then proceeded to wire her the bill

amount the next day.

Her reaction wasn't great.

She was disappointed and said that it was a gift which shouldn't be paid back and stuff

like that.
