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 relationship story, why not consider

hitting that like, that subscribe, maybe that notification bell too or really helps out the channel.

It truly does. And let's crack straight on with today's first story.

And our first story comes from throwaway separation. See who says what my 37 male wife 35

female did during our separation makes me want to make it permanent and again follows with an update.

My wife and I had been married for six years.

We have no children.

Last July, tensions were high between us.

I'm an essential worker, I worked the night shift and sleep during the day while she's at work.

She was working from home due to COVID and was very loud.

This kept waking me up and making me a very crabby person.

So I was admittedly very short with her and she was

not accommodating to me at all. As a result, the time we did have together was very tense between us.

It's normally a very happy time, but we weren't able to enjoy it at all. We made the decision

to do a trial separation, both go to therapy separately and try couples therapy

after a few months. As my company was front line, they offered to put us up in a hotel,

so as not to risk our families. So I took advantage of this and moved out. I asked my wife

for ground rules. My exact word in words, said I understand this, are we seeing other people

during this time?

She angrily replied, if that's the first place your mind goes, then maybe it's not even worth it.

I want to save our marriage, not give you an opportunity to go screw around.
