This happened last night and I'm still in bed at 2 PM questioning every decision I've ever made. Background: My ex (24F) and I (25M) broke up about eight months ago. It was mutual-ish, but I took it harder than I let on. I've been in the "doing fine, totally over it" phase for a while now. You know the phase. The one where you only check their profile four times a week instead of four times a day. Last night I couldn't sleep. I was lying in bed, scrolling through my phone, and somehow ended up on her Instagram profile. I don't even remember how I got there. One minute I was watching a video about a raccoon learning to use a doorbell, the next minute I was deep in her 2019 archive. I was being careful. I wasn't liking anything. I was just... observing. Like a wildlife documentary. "Here we see the ex in her natural habitat, captioning a photo of brunch with 'Sunday funday.'" Then I found it. A photo from August 2019. Her at som...

It’s really hard to explain this without dodging my friends but I’ll try. So my friends are trying to do something, and I’m trying to join them, however I’m not there yet. So today i try to do something nice, just trying to make their lives a bit easier, and i manage to really upset them. Firstly, i would probably have been fine to do this if i had asked them, but me being an idiot didn’t, and my friends got really upset. Next, i managed to accidentally dox them. It was only up for about a minute, and i checked the views and only me and one of my friends saw it, but i was still being an idiot and theyre all really upset at me. And i have to see all of them tommorow to play DND. TLDR: I try to help my friends and accidentally really upset them and dox them temporarily. And I’m really nervous to confront them.

Back in college, I was on spring break and met this gorgeous girl at the bar in the hotel I was staying at. We ended up making out for probably an hour before she told me she needed to head home. Being young, horny, and completely unfamiliar with the area, I offered to ride home with her and pay for the cab. She agreed. We hopped in and immediately picked up where we left off. After what felt like an eternity, I finally came up for air, glanced at the meter, and saw $85 and climbing. Rapidly. I asked the cabbie how much farther we had to go. “About another 20 minutes. We’re almost there.” Fuck me running. Well, I was already in deep so at this point, I had to lock in and fully commit. Fast forward to when we finally arrive to an upscale courtyard with about 20 very nice condos. I paid the cabbie, and walked her to the front door which happened to be the largest, most aesthetically pleasing condo in the community. We started making out again about 10 feet from her door, and ...

My girlfriend and I have our first anniversary next week. There's a small italian restaurant I went to years ago that I thought she'd really like, but I couldn't remember the name. Unfortunately the person I went with was my ex. We haven't spoken in about eight months. No bad blood, just no reason to talk. Yesterday I messaged her asking if she remembered the place with the tables downstairs. She replied almost immediately with the name, then asked how I was doing. We exchanged a few messages. She mentioned her new job, I asked about her dog. Pretty normal conversation. My girlfriend and I were eating Chinese later when my phone buzzed with another message from my ex. I'd just shown her the ad on my fortune cookie slip and, since my hands were sticky, asked her to check it. She read the notification out loud. “Nice hearing from you, we should catch up properly sometime.” Obviously she asked why my ex was suggesting we meet up. I explained the restauran...

Important: not immediat relatives (very distant, probably) and nothing has, or will, happen, this isnt any weird incest shit. so, I (19, nb) have recently begun studying for a degree. first day of classes, the prof starts to take attendance, and one last name sounds awfully familliar. For context, my moms from a family that largely lives in the countryside and procreates like rabbits so my extended family is fkn huge (i know like maybe 10% of my cousins once removed personaly, and its not uncommon that iv'e never met someone im related to) so yeah, this guy has the name of my moms family. i immediatly start going through all the people that could potentially have kids my age and come up with way too many. I figured it might be fun if were actually related, so i start talking to him (i dont tell him abt the related thing tho, didnt wanna be weird), and he's actually really nice, we match on worldviews, humor hobbies ect and he starts hanging out with my friendgroup from high...

Obligatory not today, but I was talking with my ex (the counterpart in this story) and he said he was surprised I hadn’t written this post yet, and truthfully, he’s right. So I (30 at the time, F) and my boyfriend (29 at the time, M) had been dating for a few months and were honestly having a blast. Maybe too much fun. A lot of late nights out. Both very spontaneous people with a lot of social and sexual energy when together, the latter being an important component of this story. One night we had decided to go to one of our neighborhood spots and have a few drinks before heading back to his place. In our city there’s this local artist that creates these awesome vending machines full of unique shit, some of it’s as simple as a pair of earrings or a bag of tiny ducks, but the fun ones are these mystery packages. I always liked choosing the spirit animal ones cause those contain a tiny toy animal and a card with some relatively snarky description of why your lazy like a shark or whateve...
