Hey, 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 him in the like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, guys. Now, today's first story comes from Duddies,

Fruddies from the Mark Narration subreddit. Cheeky. It does have a small update attached to it,

and it's titled, I 38 female, am going on vacation without my husband, 40 male.

English is not my native language, sorry for any mistakes.

I want to preface this saying that my husband and I have separate finances.

He covers most of the household expenses and I do most of the housework and childcare.

I say most because it's like 80, 20 in both aspects. Another important thing to note that for the past two years we've been having problems with

our marriage, like fighting, passive aggressively, five days out of the week. It has been hell,

I've been stressed the fuck out, gaining weight, losing hair, all the physical signs of stress.

Divorce was mentioned several times and family therapy is now on the table.

I work a good job and we make roughly the same.

This upcoming Eid, for my non-Muslim friends, is one of our two major yearly celebrations I'm taking my

eight male son and traveling without my husband we're meeting family abroad that we haven't seen in

years sort of a reunion when it was being planned he wasn't interested due to financial reasons

he makes good money but he likes spending it.

Shopping, latest phone, latest smart watch, expensive shoes, etc.

But I saved a lot for this.

Went for months without luxuries, without going out,

so I was able to save quite a bit to cover flights

and accommodations for myself and my son,

but not enough to include my husband.

When the trip was first being planned, he was nothing but supportive. With a full smile
