Hey, Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more relationship stories. If you do love a Reddit story, why not consider hit a like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's dive straight in to today's first story. Now this one was a suggestion over on Discord because it

comes with an update so haven't read it as yet. I'll be going through it with you and it's from

Spruce Willis 2W who says 32 male, my friend 32 female is extremely hostile about me and my husband 30 male having a child and can't see the

Except for one friend, of course. We had a mutual friend A, though she is more my friend.

But when we announced that our surrogate was pregnant, A grew weirdly hostile. We both know A is not fond of children,
